Well, I suppose Slater's ear could have jammed itself into Graham's mouth and someone else pushed his jaws together.
That or remote alien mind control experiments...
I'd love to know what caused it. The clip they found had no context to it at all. Why were they in that position in the first place? What had Slater done to cause the rage he obviously had?
The injury isn't evidence, in fact it looks like a nail injury as they've got super close up shots and the wound is semi circular at first, then gets worse as the bruising comes through.
I, like you, think Graham did probably bite him, but I wouldn't put it past Slater, Melbourne or Bellamy for that injury to be self inflicted. It's incredibly easy to make your own ear bleed, pinch it and twist. Sounds far fetched? I wouldn't put it past them, they were responsible for the chicken wing, the ninja tackle, snapping the pole (Trying to injure the ball carrier by needlessly attacking the knee joints, something Maguire brought to Wigan with him) and running two sets of books to cheat the cap. They make Wigan seem positively good sports. The whole 'fight' seemed manufactured to me, they were definitely looking to get a Bulldog sent off.
