The Broncos<\/a> have vowed to support winger Ash Werner, who created an unwanted piece of league history by becoming the first NRLW<\/a> player to be sent off on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Werner was given her marching orders for allegedly biting a Roosters opponent Jayme Fressard during her team's 36-18 loss.<\/p>\n

The incident is expected to be referred straight to the NRL judiciary early next week.<\/p>\n

Video shows Werner with her teeth around Fressard's arm and that led to her dismissal after it was viewed by the bunker.<\/p>\n

But the video also shows before the bite, Fressard whacked Werner in the face with her forearm and the Broncos winger was struggling to breathe.<\/p>\n

The Broncos are expected to use the fact that Werner could not breathe in their defence.<\/p>\n

Werner is one of the most high-profile players in the NRLW, a former Olympic-class bobsledder who was making her debut for the Broncos.<\/p>\n

"She's a lovely lady, we'll be supporting her," chief executive Dave Donaghy told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

The Broncos lost 18-36 in their round one clash and will host the Gold Coast Titans in a south-east Queensland derby in round two on Thursday, July 27.<\/p>\n
