NRL Judiciary Round 25 (Sunday): Four players have been charged following Sunday’s matches, with Roosters forward Victor Radley again facing suspension after being cited by the Match Review Committee.

The Match Review Committee reviewed incidents from Sunday’s Round 25 fixtures, issuing charges to players from the Sharks, Roosters and Wests Tigers.

While three players received standard Grade 1 charges carrying financial penalties, Radley’s extensive judiciary record has elevated his penalty into suspension territory.

Victor Radley Charge Details

Radley was charged with a Grade 1 careless high tackle following an incident in the 71st minute involving Gold Coast Titans centre Patrick Herbert.

The Roosters forward has a third and subsequent offence on his judiciary record, which significantly increased the penalty attached to the charge.

Early Plea: $3,000 fine
If Found Guilty at Panel: 2 match suspension

Other Charges

  • Briton Nikora: Grade 1 dangerous contact (26th minute vs Jayden Campbell) – $1,000 early plea fine ($1,500 panel).

  • Jock Madden: Grade 1 careless high tackle (14th minute vs Reece Robson) – $1,000 early plea fine ($1,500 panel).

What Happens Next

Players charged by the NRL Match Review Committee will now decide whether to:

  • accept the early guilty plea and associated penalty, or
  • challenge the charge at the NRL Judiciary panel.

Should Radley elect to contest the charge and be found guilty, the penalty would increase to a two-match suspension.
