England Coach Says He'll Pick Victor Radley for Ashes Despite Roosters Ban

England's selection decisions are governed by the RFL, not the Roosters' internal suspension.

Overview

  • Shaun Wane said he will select Victor Radley for the Ashes if the forward is fit and healthy.
  • Sources linked to the RFL indicated the Roosters' 10‑match club ban does not restrict England selection.
  • Sydney Roosters imposed a 10‑game unpaid suspension and a $30,000 donation penalty on Radley, who issued a public apology.
  • Brandon Smith faced court on charges that include unlawfully supplying cocaine to Radley in June, while Radley has not been charged.
  • The three‑Test Ashes series begins at Wembley Stadium on 25 October.
