PARRAMATTA star Semi Radradra is threatening to walk out on the NRL and rugby league altogether in the wake of recent developments on his State of Origin eligibility.
News Corp journalist Paul Kent broke the news on NRL 360 that Radradra is considering joining rugby union overseas.
The news comes after Queensland and NSW heavies both hosed down suggestions the Origin eligibility laws will be changed to accommodate Radradra representing the Blues, and ultimately Australia.
The Fijian-born Eels flyer is said to be filthy at the news, and will weigh up his options in walking out on the game.
His whole ambition was to become the best Fijian to ever play in the NRL, and because hes not allowed to play Origin he will never eclipse the likes of Lote Tuqiri, or Jarryd Hayne, or Petero Civoniceva, Kent said.
Following a standout game against the Bulldogs last week the calls for Radradra to represent NSW grew loud.
The rules say a player is eligible to represent the state in which he was born, or played rugby league before the age of 13.
Radradra was born in Fiji and hadnt played the game by the time he turned 13, so is therefor ineligible.
Calls for the rules to be changed, or stretched, have been howled down by some of the games biggest and most respected names.
Fox Sports commentator Gorden Tallis warned international rugby league is going to die if exemptions keep being allowed for Origin.
Radradra is currently contracted to Parramatta until the end of 2018 but is earning roughly $250,000 a season - significantly less than he could potentially field in European or Japanese rugby.
