Overview
- The NRL Match Review Committee cleared Victor Radley on Sunday after he was placed on report three times in the Roosters’ 38-24 win over Brisbane.
- Senior NRL staff told Brisbane the contact on Pat Carrigan was accidental head contact, with the ARLC choosing Monday not to refer it to the judiciary.
- Brisbane’s Kotoni Staggs was charged for an elbow to Hugo Savala’s head, facing a two-week suspension that would sideline him before Laurie Daley selects his Origin I squad.
- The charge sheet arrived later than usual and did not list Radley for any offence, which intensified fan and media criticism of officiating consistency.
- The Broncos confirmed Deine Mariner needed overnight surgery in Sydney for acute compartment syndrome in his right thigh, a dangerous buildup of pressure from internal bleeding that can damage muscle and nerves.
