Victor Radley is in danger of missing next week\u2019s grand final if the Roosters advance after being penalised two times in the first half of Friday\u2019s preliminary final against the Dolphins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Radley is no stranger to copping attention from the match review committee, and given his chequered history, he may need some luck to escape suspension.<\/p>\n

The lock forward was first placed on report in the 28th minute for a hip-drop tackle on Herbie Farnworth, who Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf previously claimed was a common target of the illegal tackle.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause 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,\u201d Woolf told the Sydney Morning Herald earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cHerbie is one of the elite players in our competition, and it\u2019s only a matter of time before one of those tackles ends badly and he suffers a serious injury.\u201d<\/p>\n

On this occasion Farnworth was able to get back to his feet, but it doesn\u2019t mean Radley is not in danger of being rubbed out of the grand final given his history of indiscretions.<\/p>\n

\u201cVictor Radley has been charged five times this year,\u201d Dan Ginnane said on Fox League.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs this going to be a problem?<\/p>\n

\u201cFarnworth is up. He\u2019s hobbling but he\u2019s going back to his spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

NRL legend Cooper Cronk believes Radley should \u201cbe ok\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s treading a fine line though,\u201d Cronk added.<\/p>\n

Roosters punch ticket to the Grand Final | 07:55<\/p>\n

Roosters coach Trent Robinson agreed, telling reporters in his post-game press conference that he was not concerned for Radley.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause he went to his knees before there was weight on that. That\u2019s how I saw it. So there wasn\u2019t any force on that. So I\u2019d say he\u2019d be right on that,\u201d Robinson said.<\/p>\n

Radley didn\u2019t do himself many favours though after he was then penalised in the 37th minute for a high tackle on Farnworth, although there wasn\u2019t much force in that shot and it will likely only result in a fine in isolation.<\/p>\n

The fiery forward then appeared to collect Selwyn Cobbo high on the final play of the first half, although he was not penalised for it on the field.<\/p>\n

Radley isn\u2019t the only star player who faces a nervous wait.<\/p>\n

Woolf: ‘They deserved the win’ | 05:50<\/p>\n

Dolphins captain Isaiya Katoa could also be in for a nervous wait after being placed on report for a hip drop on Roosters winger Daniel Tupou.<\/p>\n

Occurring inside the first two minutes of the Dolphins-Roosters prelim<\/a>, it looked an innocuous tackle as it wasn\u2019t picked up live by either the on-field referee or commentary team.<\/p>\n

Not long after the tackle though, Ginnane announced Katoa had been put on report, with the Bunker believing there was enough in it for the Dolphins half to be cited.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is quite significant. Isaiya Katoa on report for a hip drop on Daniel Tupou,\u201d Ginnane said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll check in with that a little later on but this could have some serious ramifications if there\u2019s anything in that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Victor Radley is in danger of missing next week\u2019s grand final if the Roosters advance after being penalised…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":905267,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-905266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=905266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/905267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=905266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=905266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=905266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
