Victor Radley somehow escaped the sin bin despite seemingly headbutting a Dragons rival during the Roosters’ Friday night clash in round 12.
With his team trailing 12 points midway through the first half, tempers flared near the Dragons’ tryline when a scuffle broke out between the players and Radley took center stage.
Zach Lomax was reported for a head-slam play prior to the scuffle, but replays showed Radley poking his head into Corey Pearson in the middle of the fight.

An enraged Ben Hunt said to the referee, “How did you not see that?” when reruns were shown on the big screen – and the officer duly put Radley on report, but chose not to send him to the bin.
“He should go buy a lottery ticket,” Andrew Voss said on Fox League. “There’s a chair with his name on it in the sin box, but he dodged a bullet there.”
Greg Alexander said, “Well, he led with the head. The vision is there. Did we stop sinning people this week? Every other day Victor is sinned.’
