Is this on top of his current suspension or will NSWRL just couple it in thinking no one will remember that he's already suspended.
Abdo: "Victor will be suspended for 3 more weeks"
NSWRL Media: "So he will miss game 3"
Abdo: "I didn't say that"
Media: "Wait ... so is he suspended for 3 weeks or has the 3 weeks been added to his existing suspension "
Abdo: "No further questions!!"
On the Radley thing, all I can find is Robinson told him to harden up, 2 weeks for a previous incident in Byron, now 5 weeks for a high shot, and nothing for getting kicked off a flight? Is he trying to catch up to the likes of G. Bird, J. Hoppate, for most weeks on the sideline.

Turns out the only thing Radley did wrong was laugh loudly. It was the people he was with that were the problem.
There’s a witness that’s going to write a letter in support of Radley. A bank executive I believe.

3 Bulldogs players are in strife for breeching COVID regulations. NSW Health have ordered them to self-isolate and get tested. they are facing disciplinary action.
The players – Dylan Napa, Brandon Wakeham and Aaron Schoupp – were at The Royal Hotel in Bondi last Sunday, which was attended by a person who has tested positive to Covid.
NRL Statement:
“The remainder of the Bulldogs squad will not train until the test results of the three players are known,” a spokesman said.
“The players have not been in contact with representatives from any other club nor does it impact any State of Origin player.
“The NRL issued a clear directive to all Sydney based clubs on 17 June mandating that players and staff were not to attend any restaurants, clubs or bars in the Waverley Local Government area.
“All clubs in the Greater Sydney, Wollongong and Central Coast areas were placed on Level 3+ Biosecurity Protocols from Tuesday evening and are not permitted to leave home except to train or access essential services.
“The NRL will continue to seek advice from its biosecurity experts and NSW Health to ensure no risk to other teams or the community.”

Josh Dugan is under investigation for breeching the Covid protocols. he was pictured on social media with three friends at a restaurant over the Origin 2 weekend.
according to Fox Sports, he is now in a COVID hold ... meaning he is out of the Sharks bubble until it is determined there is no risk for him to return

COVID-19 updates: Bulldogs, Dugan fined for biosecurity breaches
NRL.com Wed 30 Jun 2021, 06:01 PMCanterbury have been handed a $50,000 breach notice for failing to take all reasonable measures to ensure their players comply with the NRL's biosecurity rules.
The NRL announced on Wednesday that the club had failed to immediately notify its playing squad and football staff of additional restrictions that were placed on Sydney based NRL clubs on June 17.
It also alleges when the club communicated the changes the following day, "it failed to effectively communicate the restrictions to ensure players and officials understood exactly the obligations placed on them".
The five players who attended the Coogee Bay Hotel and Royal Hotel in Bondi on June 20 - Dylan Napa, Brandon Wakeham, Corey Waddell, Sione Katoa and Aaron Schoupp - have also been issued breach notices.
The breach notice proposes fines which take into account the varying salaries of the players and the alleged shortcomings of the club’s communications.
- Dylan Napa - $5000
- Brandon Wakeham - $1750
- Corey Waddell $1500
- Sione Katoa $1250
- Aaron Schoupp $250
NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said clubs had a responsibility to ensure their players clearly understand the biosecurity protocols.
"Our biosecurity protocols are the most important part of the competition, they are our licence to continue playing during the pandemic," he said.
"All clubs and players have a responsibility to ensure they comply with the rules to keep themselves and the community safe.
"In this instance we believe the Bulldogs failed to ensure the upgraded protocols were clearly explained to their players.
"This sanction sends a clear message to every club that you must do everything possible to ensure players understand the protocols.
"The players also have an obligation to seek further information if they are unsure of the upgraded biosecurity advice.
"Given the breach took place several days after the upgraded protocols had been communicated, we believe a sanction upon the players is also appropriate. In issuing the sanctions, we have taken into account that the players had a degree of confusion about the protocols."
Canterbury issued a statement to say they were disappointed at the sanctions handed down by the NRL regarding communications and would be “conducting a thorough internal review and will respond to the sanctions within the five-day period”.
Dugan fined $25,000
Cronulla centre Josh Dugan has been issued with a breach notice for failing to comply with the game’s Biosecurity Protocols. The notice proposes Dugan be fined $25,000.The breach notice alleges Dugan attended a restaurant in Potts Point on June 25 in breach of Level 3+ Biosecurity Protocols which require players to remain at home unless training, playing or conducting essential household requirements.
It is alleged that Dugan had been fully informed of his obligations by the Sharks and chose not to comply with them.
The alleged incident occurred late last week, prior to the NSW Government lockdown and was therefore not a violation of the NSW Government public health orders in place at the time.
A Cronulla statement said Dugan has returned a negative COVID test and hasn’t been in contact with other members of the playing group or staff due to the Sharks NRL squad having time off last week during the representative bye round.
However, he must undergo a mandatory 14-day isolation period and undergo further COVID testing before being permitted to return to training or be available for team selection.
