Sydney Roosters' Radley faces suspension threat

Roosters forward sent to judiciary over NRLW grand final brawl

Cooper Cronk expects Victor Radley to be available for the grand final despite the Roosters forward receiving another match review charge.

Radley was cited for a grade one hip drop on Herbie Farnworth in the 28th minute of Friday's preliminary final against the Dolphins.

An early plea means he will pay a $3,000 fine rather than miss Sunday's decider.

Farnworth got back to his feet after the tackle, but Radley's history of disciplinary trouble had raised the prospect of a suspension.

Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf had previously discussed the tackles Farnworth faced, speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald earlier in the year.

"Because Herbie is so big and powerful and he can break the line, it often leaves players swinging off the back of him and trying to bring him to ground,"

"Herbie is one of the elite players in the competition, and it's only a matter of time before one of those tackles ends badly and he suffers a serious injury."

Cronk's view was that Radley should "be ok".
