10 game suspension will be 11 weeks without pay. For Radley that'd be about 137k (based on a complete guess of 650k salary). Add the 30k donation on top of that & he must be tempted to walk out & go somewhere else in 2026 before relocating to Perth on big coin
 
Cop out from Politis big noting though
It reads like the Roosters had - because the police had basically said Victor wasn't going to be charged with anything - two choices:
Choice Shit A: Sack Victor and Make The Lawyers Rich Because Victor Takes Us To Court Which Even If We Win Makes Us Look Bad
Choice Shit B: Suspend Victor and Make Politis Look Like A Coward Because We Didn't Sack Victor Which Will Make Other Clubs Laugh At Politis

Best thing the Roosters can hope for is that during those 10 games someone steps up to the point where they can quite legally, quite legetimately from a rugby league point of view front Victor and say "Cobber, you ain't all that anymore, you ain't got as many prawns your barbie as you think, so say hello to NSW Cup from now on unless someone in the Top 20 breaks something. Sign this new contract or leave."
Or maybe, even better, Victor says "sod this", agrees a payout with the Roosters and leaves of his own accord.
 
The roosters can apply for salary cap dispensation for the time he’s out to by the sounds
If they get cap dispensation for a penalty they impose on a player then clubs can use it to rort the system. Example Melbourne could now suspend NAS for something and get another player. With the amount of coke used in the NRL this would be so easy. Wouldn't even need the drug angle as most NRL players are hardly angels.
