Victor Radley kicked off a flight

[Jacks Fur Coat]

My take is that with Easts only sportsmen and gentlemen both on and off the field need apply for the red, white and blue. The last thing we need is off field antics. That’s not who we are. Either Rads does a 360° turnaround or let someone who values the jersey replace him. We don’t want or need another Carney/Pearce attitude ruining our team. If he wont change then let him go.

Definitely...if Radley is caught laughing aloud in public again, he has got to go.

Planes are expensive right now and airlines have dumped its sponsorship of all sports during COVID.

IMO getting kicked outta business class before a plane's even taken off because you're being too loud (when you're not even paying and everybody else has put $$$ on the table) has much greater implications than 'laughing aloud in public'.

What do you mean 'you're not even paying'? Why wouldn't he have had to pay?

Mrs BB just read some of it out aloud.
It states:
Para: "While we're not in the business of making excuses for the bad behaviour of footy players, it seems airline staff could've overreacted in kicking Victor Radley off the plane.
A high-powered bank executive, sitting 3 seats away has contacted us saying that while Victor's mates were a little rowdy, Victor's only crime was laughing loudly.
The bank executive has offered to provide a letter to that effect."

Game over, airline should be looking at an apology, and Victor's extra 2 week ban should be cancelled.

May or may not be true, who knows.

So one person has come out and said it's an over reaction, this bank executive may be a diehard roosters supporter and like most on here are trying to say that could never happen with a team I support.
Pretty sure if it was a Souths player those same people would be still saying guilty and no one else has come out supporting the players version of the story.

I hope it is an over reaction and he wasn't a d1ckhead but he does seem to be getting a big head and needs a change of attitude. Isn't the first or last rooster to act like a idiot in public, Fredy and Cords both got in the media for the wrong reasons before pulling there heads in and going on to be club greats and no reason he can't as well, just needs a change of attitude.

Agreed. IMO it sounds like a harsh reaction but Robbo (who was there) agrees that whatever happened was beneath our standards.

If we wanna be the best team in the comp, we can't behave like what Brisbane's been able to get away with since forever. We've gotta set the bar high and make no excuses for anybody.

If you're going down that route questioning the bank executive being a chook supporter how about the flip side to that coin if the airline worker was a diehard Souths fan who thought it was a chance to exert their authority and toss him from the plane.
The blokes 23 and had a few too many with some rowdy mates it's not the crime of the century.
Robbos pulled him up publicly and in private he'll be ok, some of the reactions to this are over the top.

Airlines should be happy anyone is flying in their planes these days with the Delta strain of Covid so extremely contagious.
Laughing aloud...as passengers are boarding...guess he wasn't kicked off mid flight...is acceptable....not a crime.
Was the fare refunded?
Why weren't all the passengers wearing masks?

All the extra 2 match ban does is punish us, the fans.
Should fine him instead, give the money to charity.

I want our best team to take the field every game...not have our top players suspended for laughing aloud.

Laughing aloud...as passengers are boarding...guess he wasn't kicked off mid flight...is acceptable in my opinion.

Where did this talk of an extra 2 weeks come from?

Mate think before you talk or type . He has not been banned for two matches.You have eluded to this before with no evidence to back it up No reports of that anywhere.. Also if they kicked him of mid flight I hope they give them a bloody parachute And fine him for what laughing

If the NRL Integrity committee or whatever they’re called decide to investigate this matter, do you think they’re going to be asking this witness what club he follows? Even so would this witness be sticking out his neck if it was a lie considering he has an important role within his company?

If this would be a Souffs player yes we would be saying his guilty purely on the fact we dislike south’s, nothing wrong with that and the fact that it was Radley, he has been criticised by most in here BUT if there is evidence that exonerates him then why wouldn’t be supporting that? I’m sure that Souffs fans in the borrow wouldn’t be giving Radley the benefit of the doubt, much like you are here.

[bondi.boy]

My fault, I hadn't been paying close enough attention.
Originally there was an article somewhere suggesting NRL would be suspending him for another 2 weeks, like they did for the pub incident earlier this year.

[Vasco]

Does the second SOO count as a game off his suspension?

He’s a great player but we need him on the team not serving suspensions. The best way to serve revenge to the dictators at the nrl is to score plenty of tries. They know he’s a great asset to a rooster premiership so he’s got a target on his back. Cough, laugh or wink he’s off and suspended. His best option is to score dozens of tries.
