Brent Read ‏@brentread_7 5s5 seconds ago Semi Radradra's manager George Christodoulou has confirmed he will be back to play Cronulla and will see out his contract until end of 2017.
Looks like Toddy has some time to work out an equitable way keeping elite players in the game. Perhaps Telstra could TPA NRL elite players rather than the NRL specifically putting their hands in their war chest ?

George forgot to mention in his joint statement about the contract to play in France that he put in front of Semi. Go and earn your money George - Semi should have been signed as Fiji Airways Ambassador 12 months ago but George must of forgot he had to do the paperwork.
Brilliant! Loved BAs comment re Semi last Friday night. "We're lucky to have him". Respect. Our Club understands how important Semi is. They wont stuff this up. No way. Semis manager should be dragged in and "advised" what potential there is so far as TPA support for someone like Semi. Someones not doing their job and they should be made accountable. Semi should be on a Motza.
We should be working our butts off to upgrade Semi and find some suitable TPA's to keep him in the game. Id be more then happy to throw in $50. I am sure there would be more fans who would do the same thing. The club should come up with 150k upgrade for 2017 on the terms of a 2 yrs extension!
