What a sur-f**king-prize.

Alleged grub of the highest order.

Agree we'd be silly to have held a spot open for a mid-season return. Replace merkins that want to leave (like Semi and Hayne), and move on!
LOL!!

Did he refuse to sign an autograph as well?? Or you just hate all Fijians???

Semi didnt rule it in or out. Makes sense that he wants to send the right message to his new boss.

We need to remember that his new club are the Chelsea of French rugby. They simply warehouse players and there are always players like semi in any year who dont get a game unless there is a massive toll.

Hopefully he will struggle with the language barrier, be massively homesick and miss being the star in Sydney rather than the nobody in Tulon.

Yes
Imagine Seni told them he will be back at eels after first season.
Ha and he might like it.

Look how many of us got to travel in our 20s and get high and pissed. These guys are treated like robots. Cant take a 4mth backpacking trip untill in 30s and nost have family by then.

Dont be hard on semi

I once worked with an Indian man.
He kept a packed of trill bird seed in his draw. I swear he ate it.

Hey Pou do you snack on Trill?

I'm sure Semis new boss would love to hear his new employer speaking publically that he won't be working for his new boss for too long. Be stupid for Semi to even say anything publically about coming back.

It wouldn't be the first time semi has said one thing and done another

So many of you on here have no freakin idea about spotting talent even if Johnathan Thurston bit you on the dick, which by the way, when he was playing for the Dogs I wanted him at Parra. But some here ragged me out that he was to small and couldn't tackle, just like some said about Api. I must admit though even I didn't think that Thurston was going to become the player and future immortal that he has turned to be.
JT still can't tackle but who in their right mind would say no thanks to him. His other skills far outweigh his weakness. Same with Moses, his skills will improve especially if we have a dominant pack, but he'll always be a weak defender.

Shaun Lane is one of the worst "Ram picks" yet! He was sent packing by the Warriors for his lack work ethic and his inconsistency. The Warriors!

One of your best Rammy!
Hang on, 'lack work ethic and his inconsistency', that's the definition of the Warriors! Sounds like he fitted into their culture pretty quickly.

I wouldn't be planning for the merkin to come back. If we need to sign other top 17 outside backs so there's no space for him then that's what we need to do.
Do we need to buy another winger? We have Greg Lasalou? and if we are not going to use these guys in fg why bother bringing them in from another club?

Why is he a grub bartman? Because he wants the play for the highest pay! No, that's something you'd never do....is it?

If they're good enough for first grade every week why did we offer Radradra a contract? They're either backup quality next year or they're not.

Radradra spent most of his first year out of under 20s in reserve grade. Some players just aren't ready yet. Dane Aukafolau is in the ISP every week while Leleisiuao is in the NYC. They are the same age.

Just seen these stats on Parra, they have scored 54 tries so far but from the 50th minute have only scored 14 tries. We'll never win a premiership with those poor stats. The good teams pick up their effort from about 50th min and put most other teams to the sword.
So what is our problem, imo its our pack. No decent props to dominate their opposition. And our last 20 mins is diabolical, think we have only won that quarter only twice this year!

Very interesting Stat. Could come down to a number of things. Let's not forget Kaysa was pretty much in his first year at hooker and being asked to play huge minutes. Also running only one genuine half the bulk of the year probably never helped too. How does the stat fair if we look pre and post Moses. Does it get any better? The other factor is the way the game is being refereed. There's been many teams with a winnable lead only to blow it. The teams leading aren't being favoured by the refs, tbh.

A certain court case... while the court may not have found certain allegations proven (for its purposes), I'm yet to be convinced he is "innocent" of said allegations (in a non-legal sense).

Yep, our forward rotation seems to run out of puff.

Hopefully playing a few teams we are expected to beat in coming rounds will give BA a chance to instill a killer instinct, and we can put one or two to the sword like real contenders.

So you'll just blindly believe any allegations that are made will you?

If you ever get called up for jury duty, please decline on the basis that you can't be objective..
