The Cheese ... allegedly charged

[bob dylan]

Without being caught in the act of it I don't see how they can sack him. It's all just innuendo and he said stuff. Easy for a lawyer to argue against any of it.

Dont worry about the word "sack" - when clubs dont want players they are gone.

If he hasnt failed a drug test and hasnt been charged every team in NRL will be keen to grab him.

Manly , get him. We desperately need a player like him in our backrow. Who cares if he's a snow blower. How many 100s of thousands of people in everyday society do the same.

Apart from the Peruvian Powder he seems like a good clubman. If we could get him (hopefully at a discount) on top of Fog, Wilson & Hetherington we could put the cheque book away I reckon

One more KO and he's finished...Just what we need.

Worth the risk given the lack of options on the market

That applies to every single player in the NRL.

Not really. some more prone to it than others.. And he does have many priors... Just like Croker

I think Ponga another one. The last couple of times it didn't look major impact yet he was gone.

Do we really want to sign a guy like that?, talented as he might be, id rather invest in younger backrowers, we really dont need the baggage this guy carries.

The right KO can be both career ending and life ending.

"Who killed Davey Moore....."

Is he travelling to Bali?

 

[StuBoot]

Remember to defend the charges vigorously. (No point just defending them in a relaxed manner!)


At a rough guess... yes!
He'd have to be given a chance to explain to the club that he did nothing wrong, and was just talking about buying some golf balls or something... but good luck persuading them of that!

Yep, if all that we've heard about Uncle Nick is correct, it would be very hard to look him in the eye and say that you only play golf with the rare # 8 Titleist and this guy on the Sunny Coast that Cheese knows just happens to sell and deliver them!

 

[MadMarcus]

Good on Nick. He is doing the right thing.

We should not sign their discards, as much as I thought Radley was a great player in his prime.

 

[StuBoot]

Being on a golf trip doesn’t automatically imply any drug-taking or wrong-doing on the part of any of the other players present.

I think people should be careful about making unsubstantiated innuendos (at least without saying ‘allegedly’)

True, but l'd say on all of the sporting trips l've been on that if not all, l'd say most of the attendees were aware of other's shenanigans.
Doesn't mean they condone it or wanted any part of it.

But when there's only eight on the trip and one of them is the club captain you'd think it would be nigh on impossible to keep even the most naive unaware, allegedly.

The right KO can be both career ending and life ending.

"Who killed Davey Moore....."

What about Archie Moore? Actually, he was a survivor. Died just days shy of his 85th birthday, in 1998.

From Manny Cheidler, SMH:

Roosters urge Victor Radley to explore options at rival NRL and Super League clubs

By Michael Chammas and Danny Weidler
September 17, 2025 — 6.33pm

The Sydney Roosters have urged Victor Radley’s management to begin exploring options in the NRL and Super League as they explore the possibility of parting ways with the representative forward.

With Roosters supremo Nick Politis due to land back in Sydney from an overseas business trip on Thursday morning, the club is exploring the potential of severing ties with one of their favourite sons after he was implicated in a Queensland Police investigation that has led to former Roosters teammate Brandon Smith facing two charges.

Radley’s manager has been informed it would be in his client’s best interests to gauge interest with rival clubs, as the Tricolours explore the possibility of parting ways with the player.

He’s played his last game for Easts it seems. Good on them for sticking to their word if he’s exited. Another nrl team will pick him up. Have no doubt about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if we are one of the clubs making calls. His fav player growing up was Steve Matai I heard.

 

[Not Paul Kent]

He’s the last thing we need, another middle who doesn’t make metres.

Really, that is not what the alleged txt messages infer that are in possession of Qld police - part of which is below. Certainly a lot more cocaine ordered than for one person.

Now Uncle Nick is singling out Radley only. Scapegoat and cover up anyone?



Dealer A: Sweet 900 for 2 Would ya do that after the cut? They are NRL players, bro you’ll know I’m as soon as you see him

Dealer B: What happened to ball plus 250 Hahaha

Dealer A: They double ordered
