Semi Radradra threatening to leave NRL

[Diesel]

C ya Semi

 

[vvvrulz]

If true, there's a lot of Rupeni Caucau about this guy

 

[hutch]

International section has a thread on this already.

 

[BlueandGold]

I dont blame his manager for doing this. Semi is on 250k a year which is peanuts really for a player of his ability.

His next contract will be double imo.

 

[Perth Red]

If he is on far less than he is worth then I would be very much blaming his manager!

On one hand can't blame him for wanting to earn an extra $130k a year rep money but a kick in the balls to the bati.

 

[Mr Angry]

FTR any kiwi should be a NSW player, NZ was once part of considered NSW, before QLD existed. 1841 v 1859..

As for Sam, go play kickby, you deny your country, shame on you. Go and get f**ked Sam, I rate you, play for your own, you turncoat.

 

[Edwahu]

He is grossly underpaid and stuck on a long contract. I can't blame him for looking for more cash. Hopefully the Eels get their cap issues sorted and can upgrade him.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Get a quote from someone in the camp Kent, otherwise write it up in Sydney Confidential

 

[Charlie124]

This will hurt my fantasy team more than I care to imagine.

 

[Bazal]

Semi is as humble as they come so i reckon Kent is talking out his sphincter as usual here

That said Radradra has to be just about the most marketable bloke in the nrl atm and they need to keep him at all costs. He's a freak and a universal fan favourite

 

[some11]

oh please. we all know eligibility rules are bent.

for QLD at least.

Tamou.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Parra just has to do a performance review.
Then pay him what he's worth.
Then get the spoon for the next 4-5 years.
Simple.

Fiji?
That's in Queensland, right?

Radradra was born in Bowraville, Queensland, 4666.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

f**k me nrl knows how to shoot itself in the foot

This is one of the best stories in australian sport

The bloke has dead set walked of an island off Fiji with no running water and within 3 years is one of the top 10 players in the game

And we work out a way to make it a negative

Imagine this shit in the USA they be making ESPN films about this shit

Instead we are dreaming up ways to f**k it up

 

[blaza88z]

250k?

yeah he's going to be getting a significant upgrade, be it at Parra or some place else

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Parramatta needs to upgrade Semi's contract immediately by the amount of three Origin appearances per year until his contract expires. At which point he needs to be upgraded to $800,000 per year.

Then let's have more international games involving Fiji, in which Fijian players receive at least $10k per match. After all, apart from Semi Radradra Fiji can call on Marika Koroibete, Waqa Blake, Kevin Naiqama, the three Sims brothers, Jason Bukuya, Apisai Koroisau and others.

wow... top 10 now. :sarcasm: What is it with Parra fans? Always so desperate to believe they have all the talent or lost all the talent.

Rules are rules. SOO is broken anyway. No compo.. Parramatta need to work within the salary cap. If they lose a player, so be it.

 

[The Enforcer]

See ya.

 

[Glen]

I've never read a quote from Semi that is anything other than humble, grateful to the Eels and wanting to stay there. This is either his player manager stirring shit up or the Daily Telegraph trying to create hysteria, or most likely both.

As a Parra and NSW fan it would be incredible to see him in Origin but the eligibility can never and will never be relaxed that far.
