Eels in the media

[Gronk]

JUST a few days before the NRL kick-off, Parramatta’s superstar winger Semi Radradra has made a mercy dash home to Fiji to join his stricken family in the cyclone ravaged nation.

Radradra left Sydney on Thursday morning for the flight and 12-hour boat ride to the village of Somosomo, where he was a struggling kava farmer before being snapped up by Parramatta Eels talent scouts two years ago.

He has been uncontactable since leaving because phone communications in most areas of Fiji are still down following Cyclone Winston which left a $650 million trail of destruction.

Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur made the decision to allow the Dally M winger of the year to return home, less than a week before the club’s premiership opening game against the Brisbane Broncos at Pirtek Stadium on Thursday night.

“It had been playing on Semi’s mind for a couple of days,” Arthur said, “He needed to get back there because he hadn’t been able to make contact with anyone.

“So we had to get him home. To play good football, players have to have their off-field life sorted.

amigo reporting for duty!!!!!!

Well Gronky what can I say, does it really take that many people to go to a Plumbers Confrence in Vegas? We all know it's a f**king junket. Its a total waste of members money when the plumber could have have gone down to the local Mitre10 with the lads.

This reminds me of the other junket that the plumber organised 2 years ago when he took the whole club to the USA for a holiday before the season started...spent a gazillion dollars and we still came last lol.

Our board are worse than the Labour Party, they love spending money that's not theirs.

Yep, me and every other PLC member that is eligible to vote on motions presented at the AGM and that bothers to attend the AGM and exercise that right.

Sounds like you're taking some responsibility for the direction of the club. Beats whinging on the internet I suppose.

That's a good move from Arthur, even if Semi can't make it back in time.

Family comes first.

 

[emjaycee]

Good for you champ.

No problem Jake.
I am sure those of us that are members will do our best to make sure the Board only spend money on things they are authorised by the members to do.

The good thing about the motion for junket money is that even Roy voted in favour of the plumber spending it.

 

[Avenger]

Can't stand Roy.

 

[Gronk]

That's a good move from Arthur, even if Semi can't make it back in time.

Last time Semi went back to Fiji, merkins like The Lurker started publishing crap about him being unhappy at the Eels etc. :roll:

Ah, well - idiots like The Lurker will always be idiots, I guess...

Let's just say that Watmough staying is hardly an area of concern.

I hope you don't mean item number 2, and it having any relevance to our club... :sarcasm:

Let's just say something bad may or may not happen at some point.

But when it does, I'll claim that I knew all along.
