Victor Radley Faces Grade 2 Charge After AJ Brimson Hit

victor radley has been charged with a Grade 2 careless high tackle for his hit on AJ Brimson. The Sydney Roosters forward now faces a one-match suspension if he takes an early guilty plea, or two matches if he contests the charge and loses at the judiciary.

Radley and Brimson

The charge came after Radley’s Friday night contact with Titans fullback AJ Brimson, and it landed in the MRC’s latest round of charges after a night dominated by controversy. That leaves the Roosters weighing the cleaner option against the longer absence, with the difference between one match and two now set by the next decision.

Radley’s case sits at the center of the latest disciplinary batch because it carries a direct playing penalty. The Grade 2 classification is the key number here: accept it early and he is out for one match; fight it unsuccessfully and the ban doubles to two.

MRC Charge Sheet

The MRC also cleared Parramatta winger Josh Addo-Carr of any wrongdoing over his contact on Cowboys captain Tom Dearden. At the same time, Gold Coast Titans forward Moeaki Fotuaika was charged and Cowboys fullback Scott Drinkwater was fined, giving the round of decisions a broader disciplinary edge beyond Radley’s tackle.

For the Roosters, the immediate issue is simple. Radley’s response decides whether the club plans around one missing forward or two, and that choice now sits with the charge rather than the result on Friday night.
