Victor Radley has broken his silence on the incident with Leeds Rhinos star James Bentley, insisting he stood up for people when they were in need. Radley, a star for England during the Rugby League World Cup, was allegedly involved in an incident with Leeds Rhinos and Ireland back-rower Bentley that turned physical.
It was reported that Radley headbutted Bentley after he insulted England head coach, Shaun Wane. It was claimed the incident happened after Bentley abused Wane for not selecting him for England. It is unknown why Bentley was in attendance but it was alleged that Bentley left a pub where members of the England setup were in attendance but subsequently returned. That is when Radley is alleged of headbutting Bentley, who is said to have been bleeding and required stitches afterwards.
Radley, who was adjudged to have acted in self-defence following an investigation and cleared of wrongdoing, spoke of the incident to the Daily Telegraph.
