Rugby league star Craig Gower has again become embroiled in controversy after allegedly biting a man in a Sydney bar brawl.
The incident allegedly took place in the early hours of yesterday morning at the Peppermint Lounge in the inner-city suburb of Potts Point.
Gower, who plays inthe NRL for the Penrith Panthers, allegedly fled the scene after coming to blows on the dance floor with a male patron after the rugby league star "tried to kiss him, then bit him on the neck," a witness said, according to newspaper reports.
One witness claimed the former Australian halfback was "really drunk and all over the place".
Gower lost the captaincy at Penrith after he was accused of groping the daughter of league legend Wayne Pearce at a charity golf weekend during the 2005 off-season.
