I love the club so much. They\u2019ve done right by me for years,\u201d Radley told the publication.<\/p>\n \u201cIt hurts me inside just thinking about playing elsewhere, but I need to look at all my options now. The days are gone where I\u2019m living in a two-bedroom unit, having a good time. <\/p>\n \u201cI have two kids, a fianc\u00e9e, and a house that needs paying off. <\/p>\n \u201cLike everyone in Australia, you have your struggles with interest rates. People will laugh at that and say, \u2018He\u2019s been on good money\u2019. But I\u2019ve got a decent mortgage. <\/p>\n \u201cI also copped some financial pain at the end of last year [The Roosters hit Radley with a $150,000 penalty for bringing the club into disrepute during a Sunshine Coast golf trip].<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m open to everything. I love new experiences, that might even include living in England and playing in the Super League. It\u2019s something I\u2019d be interested in.\u201d<\/p>\n Daily Telegraph 01\/10\/2026 Victor Radley of the Roosters with partner Taylah Cratchley. Image: Instagram.
