The Cheese ... allegedly charged

[Frogz]

And yet, so far, I haven't seen the media report on who else was away with Radley. Is this just Uncle Nicks way of getting Radley off his books?.... Who else was there?????

Im going to put a crazy theory out there, Radley is close to being medically retired, there were several roosters players on the golf trip and the amount of drugs bought was enough for several people. Could roosters boss tapped him on the shoulder, provide a nice little pay out and have him fall on his sword for the other players?

It sounds both a little far fetched yet also very convenient. Somehow yet again the Roosters will come out of this smelling like roses - tough on drugs (allegedly), principled, with salary cap freed up by cutting loose a player that was coming to the end of the road anyway.

To the people saying there’s enough allegedly acquired for multiple people, yes that is certainly plausible.

However that doesn’t automatically mean every one of those 8 players condoned, partook or was even aware of it.

Without that proof, the roosters can’t take any action against any of those other players.

Taking action against Radley is even a stretch given he hasn’t been charged with anything - there’s questions whether they even have grounds to sack him and not carry it on their cap. The RLPA will certainly make noise.

Saying the roosters must sack all eight, when there is no proof aside from “there was enough for multiple people” is one of the most ridiculous claims I’ve ever heard.

I think they are dealing with Radley in a smart way.

Agree with @Not Paul Kent that they can’t really sanction the other players as they don’t know who partook and who didn’t. I don’t think it is plausible that they weren’t all aware of it, but there is no evidence to prove they were so not much the club can do.

I suspect Nick will have a quiet word with Teddy about his responsibilities as captain.

I don’t think it will happen again.

Where has it been said that the Roosters must sack all 8 people?

Roosters golf trip at centre of Smith drug probe

Two clubs are now embroiled in claims Rabbitoh Brandon Smith allegedly arranged for a former teammate to receive drugs while on a holiday to Queensland.

So here is the 8 in question (a photo in the article above), which includes our likely new recruit. Also includes Teddy, Savala, Sandon Smith, Egan Butcher & Chad Townsend. To be clear, I am not accusing anyone of anything, just passing on the info.

And just because Radley allegedly organised the deal, there is no proof he partook in it. He may of got it for the others to "try".

True. But if that's his defence then he's denying possession of drugs on the grounds he was supplying drugs (which is actually more serious!)
Regardless of what can/cannot be proved, it's an embarrassment for the club and the NRL, and I don't expect radley will be at Chooks any longer.
