Fans erupt over Roosters rookie's grand final interview
Victor Radley is the talk of fans after his post-game interview at the NRL grand final.
The Roosters rookie was over the moon after his side’s 21-6 triumph over the Storm on Sunday night, especially given the fact he’s a rare local junior.
After praising his ‘legend’ friends and ‘legend’ Cooper Cronk, Radley was asked by Andrew Johns what he had planned for the celebrations.
“Beers, beers and more beers!” he replied.
“I cannot wait!”
The simple line immediately went viral, with fans in a frenzy over the candid comments.

Roosters’ remarkable acts of toughness in GF drama
Sydney Roosters’ NRL grand-final bravery seemingly has no bounds, after it was revealed winger Blake Ferguson played on in the second half with a suspected broken leg.
With Cooper Cronk’s effort to play through a fractured scapula already the stuff of legend, Ferguson arrived at the Roosters’ fan reception on Monday morning on crutches and in a moon boot following their 21-6 defeat of Melbourne.
Ferguson was injured early in the second half but stayed on the field to finish with 161 metres and become just the third player to pass the 5000-mark in a season and claim his first premiership.
Ferguson attempted to play down the injury as a bit of “carry on” in front of fans on Monday, but coach Trent Robinson revealed the true extent of his effort to play on.
“He’s broken his leg, his fibula,” Robinson told AAP.
“It was quite sore but then after the game the longer it went the sorer it got. It went numb and that’s when they knew he broke it
Bound for Parramatta next year, Ferguson’s grand-final win brought with it his first premiership – a proud achievement considering he was taken on by the Roosters in 2015 following a year-and-a-half out of the game after being sacked by Canberra.
“We are going to talk about Cooper, but again it was Fergo and he didn’t care,” Robinson said.
“Obviously after the game it was such a big result for all of us, but Fergo has worked really hard for this his whole career.
“He’s had ups and downs and it was almost fitting he had something like that and pushed his way through to get the result.”
