Roosters coach Trent Robinson and captain James Tedesco have stated they each assume enforcer Victor Radley will get “treated harshly” by the referees.
Radley was sin binned for the eighth time of his profession within the Roosters’ tight ANZAC Day win over the Dragons at Allianz Stadium.
Radley’s eight sin bins now strikes him stage with Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell for probably the most yellow playing cards in NRL historical past.

Amazingly, Radley has been binned in seven of his final 39 video games, calling his newest one “a s**t decision.
Robinson says that in a 50/50 call, Radley “has been on the wrong side of it.
“I had a look at the vision over and over again and I didn’t see any shoulder on head contact on any of the televisions I saw but I know there’s other angles,” Robinson stated.
“Unless they show more angles, I can only go off what I’ve seen.
“We feel like if it’s a 50/50 in a physical contact, Rads has been on the wrong side of it.”

Tedesco, who was heard instantly after Radley’s sin binning telling referee Adam Gee “if that was anyone else, it’d be no penalty”, stood by his on-field feedback.
“Rads was adamant it was head on head, and that’s what I saw as well,” Tedesco stated.
“I don’t think there was any contact around the head (from his shoulder).

“Victor gets harshly treated … I feel if it was anyone else but Victor it’d be OK.”
When requested if the membership would go to the NRL for an evidence, Robinson stated it was simply “an opinion”.
“That’s my opinion and that’s Ted’s (Tedesco) opinion, it doesn’t mean it’s the truth,” Robinson stated.
“There’s a good chance that it is, but at the moment it’s just an opinion.”
