Rads gone

[bondi paul]

Like in the games without Radley in 2025 I don’t consider it any great loss having him out for 10weeks in 2026. The slug can use the time for losing weight and for speed training.
The board was smart by hitting him where it hurts - the pocket. That’s one helluva life lesson for a supposed leader of the club, a father and husband.

If Victor was smart he would cut his losses to prevent further information to come out as well as character assassination. Just ask Ben Roberts Smith what it’s like to take on Fairfax / Nine.

Yes, as the saying goes:

"Avoid litigation like the plague".

5 players better?
none of them are better they all don’t have any passing game
rads is still the best 13
robbo just needs to start him at 13 instead of on the edge where he makes less of an influence on the side

We must be watching a different game. We will be better off without him for the first 10 games and then Robbo will shoehorn him in as one of his favourites.

Radley has been ineffective on the field for a long time, has next to no upside given he is a couple hits away from medical retirement and looks to be a relic of his former self.

Then has the hide to do drugs (allegedly) mid season as one of the senior players of the club and lie about it. We have 5 players better than him in his position, he’s on 700k a year and instead of ripping up his waste of money contract to spend elsewhere we give him some crappy moral crusade punishment to save face. Sentimental and self-righteous garbage.

consider himself lucky? fmd. some of you have no idea.
sanity prevails. the club has made a statement of where everyone stands and rads remains where he belongs

Make this make sense
maybe is victor radley unlicensed got in an unregistered car under the influence of drugs and alcohol crashed his car into another nearly killing a young family he may have copped a week less

honestly the world is ****ed

[Sentimentinel]

I highly doubt that if Uncle Nick sacked rads, all our "friends in the media" would be singing his praises anyway.

They'd still smoke us in penalty counts, the mrc would still deal more harshly with any Rooster regardless etc etc.

They wanted him gone to weaken us, and if that had happened they'd still piss on us on and off the field anyway.

They'll move on to the next thing, Victor will cop his punishment and Politis will bow to no-one.

GO EASTS

So, he's not gone? You ended up knowing nothing

Just trying to be first to post something you read, from Danny Weidler...

You are quite often the kiss of death, and thankfully you were wrong yet again!!!!

You saved Victor with your thread.

Thank you.

The official end of Brandon Smith

He will never play in the NRL again.

Lets see how your thread pans out. Just sayin.

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Danny wiedler has reported that we are currently looking at legal & salary cap issues around terminating Victor…


What a shame.

Your thread was titled "Rads Gone". Is he gone?

You are quite often miles away about everything and anything, and thankfully you were again!!!!

You're like the cooler. I think your thread saying "Rads Gone" played a part in him being "Not Gone"

Thank you.

You seem to have a legal perspective having read your valid postings. What’s your view if Radley brought legal action upon Michael Chammas and Ch 9 ?

I think this not so new poster likes to issue cease and desist orders

I think Nick Politis has a soft spot for Victor and Head Coach Trent Robinson , Captain James Tedesco and others would have went into bat for Victor as he has served the club well from Juniors right through to Seniors.

A mistake/error of judgement should not cost him the chance to be a one club player at the Roosters especially being a local junior.

On a side note to this fiasco - it just shows how evil is the NRL/Media Partnership. It’s a known fact that V’Landys has the media in his pocket and is why this came about.

[Roosters1908]

Without making any assumptions I believe that the club recognised the probability of internal damage to the playing group if victor had been sacked whilst others got away with no punishment. It could have derailed next season. It wouldn’t surprise me if the leadership group approached management to plea for some leniency on Victor.

I think the right decision has been made. All players will have received a massive wake-up call and hopefully Rads recognises the chance he has been given and works hard to repay it in spades.

100%.
