Victor Radley has dodged a suspension for his controversial hip drop tackle, leaving Roosters coach Trent Robinson absolutely fuming at the NRL.

The Bulldogs pulled off a stunning 30-26 victory over the Roosters, who were down to 12 men after Radley's binning in a game played in torrential rain.

Despite trailing 26-0 at halftime, the Roosters mounted a valiant comeback in the wet conditions, almost pulling off a remarkable victory before the Bulldogs sealed the win with a lone try in the second half.

The game took a turn for the worse for the Roosters as star player James Tedesco left the field with a concussion, and Young became the first player in 2024 to receive a red card.

However, the spotlight was on Radley's 10-minute sin bin.

In a tense moment in the 72nd minute, Radley made a controversial tackle on Stephen Crichton as he tried to break through the defense.

The tackle saw Crichton brought down, sparking debate and frustration among fans and pundits alike.
