Semi Radradra threatening to leave NRL

[Generalzod]

Most elusive man in the NRL.

Even the law struggles to bring him down.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

See ya wanker... thank god im so sick of fiji watch every 4 months..

 

[Parramatta1947]

I am over him too - let him go to rugby, get the ball rarely and then claim homesickness to return to the NRL. But then the game welcomes back code hoppera with open arms.......and players know it

 

[Walpole]

I hope he gets rubbed out for 2017 so I can laugh at Parra.

In all fairness they'll probably give you something to laugh at anyway.

 

[Von Hipper]

Look at the report, threatening, walkout, altogether, blah blah. Who writes that crap. Is that the reaction the writer was going for?

No one is holding a gun to his head.

 

[Knight76]

The fact that a letter was given to the magistrate explaining that Radradra father is suffering from serious health issues isn't good enough for this bloke....How dare he not make an appearance in my court room, arrest him immediately.

Which is fair enough. The court has to assess whether he has good reason to be out of the country knowing he has a court appearance to be at. The news report states the judge deems the father to be suffering a long term illness that is not in an especially bad situation at the moment.

If he has only left the country to be with his ill father, why sign for Tulon?

Does Aus have an extradition treaty with Fiji or France?

Australia has a bi-lateral extradition treaty with France. We do not have one with Fiji. Source - https://www.ag.gov.au/International...imecooperationarrangements/Pages/default.aspx

His management claimed he hasn't signed a contract but has received a offer. I think its more likely been done as a diversion tactic to try and delay the fall out with Paramatta who have been patient with him. Agree with sentiment of these posters, despite his talent I think most fans are fed up with his BS and are happy to see the back of him.

"Radradra's manager, George Christodoulou, told foxsports.com there had been an approach but no contract had officially been drawn up.

"There is an offer on the table for the 2018 season with Toulon with an option for a second season in Semi's favour," Christodoulou said.

"No pre-contract nor contract has been issued let alone executed so I don't know why Toulon would be announcing his official signing at his stage."

Lol at Aussie bending over backwards to select Aussie Sam. Semis interested in Semi. Classy bloke.

 

[Stormwarrior82]

I'd like to see parra sitting him down and ripping up his 2017 contract due to these current charges against him. He can stay in Fiji for the year.
Players have been sacked for less

If Parramatta ripped up his contract, that would make him available to sign for Toulon. What they should do is threaten to take out an injunction if he signs with them whilst still under contract. Whilst Parramatta could not obtain a court order forcing Semi to play for them in 2017, they could obtain one preventing him from playing another professional sport until his contract with them expires. The problem is rarely have clubs threatened, let alone done this, when these types of situations have arisen.

This, should of never let this f**ker near the roos, it was never going to be enough to keep him. If we want to keep these Fijian rugby converts in the game teach them a position other than winger...

Shame on Meninga for selecting him.

 

[Hawkins]

Parra better be careful, he tends to get a little punchy when you make him angry.

Is that possible? I thought the most you could be is hold a players registration like Wire are doing with Sandow which prevents a player from playing the same sport. Obviously crossing codes that's not possible.

I doubt an Australian court is going to be able to enforce anything against Semi playing for Toulon. No judgement here would be binding there.

His problems could just start when he returns to Australia for a holiday of a family visit.
He won't be a lot of use to a French union club if he's in sing sing.

Maybe he'll just go back to Fiji and live like a king. Kava errday
