Irish firebrand James Bentley wants to come to Australia to prove himself in the NRL. The Leeds star made headlines on Tuesday when he was allegedly involved in a brawl with Sydney Roosters star Victor Radley at the World Cup in England. Reports from the UK say that 25-year-old Bentley, overlooked for the England team for Radley, gave Lions coach Shane Wane a fiery spray over his omission. He then allegedly locked horns with Radley, who allegedly headbutted him before the pair were separated. Bentley is rated one of the best running forwards in the Super League, scoring two tries in the shock semi-final win over Wigan that earned Leeds a spot in the grand final. Like Radley, his fiery temperament has caused him problems with referees; he was sent off in his Leeds debut at the start of this year after just 16 minutes. The tough forward played for Ireland in the World Cup after being brushed by Wane and now wants to prove he can mix it with the best of them in the NRL.
