“Toronto Wolfpack can confirm that following this weekend’s game the club has stood Jack Bussey down from the team camp. He will be returning to the U.K. with immediate effect,” the team said in a terse statement.

The club did not explain if the separation was permanent. 

“If anyone’s bit any another player, then they’ll face the consequences. That’s the way it is.” Wolfpack coach Paul Rowley said after the match.

“We did have a monitor but we couldn’t quite see, so let the powers-that-be deal with those ones in the appropriate manner,” he added. “Certainly we don’t condone any of that from our part … so hopefully if that’s happened, then the appropriate action will be taken — either way.”

The Wolfpack have not been shy about severing ties with players who misbehave. In January, the second-year rugby league team cut fan favourite Fuifui Moimoi, former Great Britain and England international Ryan Bailey and former Australian international Dave Taylor for a training camp transgression.

A hard-nosed English forward, Bussey’s playing time this season has been interrupted by injury.

Toronto (3-2-0) hosts Widnes Vikings (1-4-0) on Saturday in its penultimate Super 8s Qualifiers match.
