Honestly politis shouldn’t have made that comment previously about players doing rack being banned

He’s been a good player for them

I get the feeling they don’t mind pointing him as he’s aging and using that 700k on someone else
The Roosters are in a bit of a pickle if someone leaks the names of the half a dozen other players that were with Radley.

On the money….

The Roosters could conceivably trade out Radley and Chad for Tino…. That is good business.

Chad?! You do realise he's retired right? He played his last ever game in NSW Cup the same weekend the Roosters played Souths in the NRL (i.e. Round 27).

The betting messages dont look good imo, dont think its serious but its only a small step from him talking about his odds and confirming he is running on to then looking at actually doing something in a game for the betting.

Also ive seen some criticism of him throwing Radley under a bus. They got Radley in the messages, he literally said "its Radley calling" and im sure cheese or the dealers didnt give up the phone willingly.

This is exactly it.

From memory Hansie Cronje got the hooks set into him by giving pitch and squad info. That escalated quickly to being offered big dollars to lose wickets on the last day of a Test.

In this case it's not a bookie, but it shows that dumb old Cheese doesn't much care for integrity requirements

He got a lot of love for his larrikan character but it might end up ruining him here. I still remember him after 2020 GF when telling the story of him and Munster staying up for 3 days straight after the GF win, telling that story on Matty Johns show, anyone with a brain can figure out a 3 day bender is very likely drug fueled. But Matty and the boys loved it. They were on sunshine coast for that bender, where this cousin is located.

Matty and the boys loved it because they used to do it. It's hard to find a league player that's a choirboy.

Uncle Nick probably thought when he heard players around the club were looking forward getting some bags they meant his preferred brown paper kind.

Of course, Its not the fact he did it i find silly, im sure they are all doing it, its the fact he is talking about it publicly that is dumb. He was literally on national talking about being up on the third straight sunset with a wink wink attitude to it all.

No significant news from Smith's appearance in court today, other than proceedings will resume on 9 October 2025.


Any truth to the rumour his attorneys sought the adjournment as Roosters are currently enjoying Mad Monweek and this is traditionally a very busy time for the Cheese and his associates?
