NRL: Zillman to face judiciary

Gold Coast rugby league fullback William Zillman has been referred to the NRL judiciary after being charged with biting South Sydney's Jamie Simpson during the Titans' 22-14 win on Friday.

Zillman was put on report in the 12th minute after Souths winger Simpson accused him of biting his right forearm in a tackle at ANZ Stadium.

North Queensland prop Steve Rapira was also charged with dangerous contact for an incident during the Cowboys' 22-12 defeat by the Bulldogs in Townsville on Friday.

Rapira will serve a one-game suspension if he fights the charge and loses, but will avoid a ban if he takes the early guilty plea.
