Semi Radradra

Not me. I still think the sky is falling. Although I am offended by twizzle's chicken little reference. Only Americans call it that, if you want to label me it's Henny Penny thanks

Shut your pie hole. I'll decide whether you can say that.

Im also giving you power of attorney Gary

Careful, mate. What if he decides you're not allowed to refer to yourself in the third person anymore?

(For the love of god, Gary, please do that!! That and the Penrith thing)

 

[Gary Gutful]

There must be something wrong with some one who doesn't agree with your line of thinking ?

Nice one Gaz, an oldie but a goodie.

Please. I think all of that Devon F**kstick music has killed your brain cells.

I have had at least 17 people disagree with me today and it is water off a chicken little's back.

My issue is that you started out with a very smug comment about "Chicken Littles" which gave the impression that you think you are more intelligent than the average idiot who chooses to accept that something that they read could be true.

I could have potentially copped the holier than thou shit if you actually had a clue. However, all of the evidence in this thread suggests you have been well and truly behind the 8 ball.

Oi.

As Hindy's Power of Attorney, I am going to have to refer you to Section 19 of the Savoury Mincecake Act 2001. If the insults towards Hindy continue then I will have no alternative than to slap you with a wet lettuce.

I love that the official club video of Bernie's presser about Semi situation was uploaded with the hashtag #feelthebern

Parramatta legend Peter Sterling says Eels must hold Semi Radradra to his contract

PARRAMATTA legend Peter Sterling says Parramatta must hold Semi Radradra to his contract after letting big names Jarryd Hayne and Kieran Foran slip through their fingers.

The Fijian’s future has been the subject of intense speculation, including confirmation from Toulon, later denied by Radradra’s manager, that he was heading to France.

The eels are hoping to persuade him to stay beyond his contract expiration at the end of next season, while Sterling suggested Radradra might be angling to get out of parramatta early.

“Semi was discovered by Parramatta, they’ve been very sensitive to his needs,” Sterling told Triple M’s The Run Home.

“He comes from a different culture, there are health concerns with his family (but) I think they’ve done the right thing by him.

“It’s not the way that you do business. If you don’t like a contract and don’t like the terms of the contract don’t sign it. I can understand players being allowed to leave on compassionate grounds but this doesn’t seem to be the case here. It’s a much shorter flight from Sydney to Fiji than it is to the South of France to Fiji.

“So if he’s on contract, he’s at Parramatta next year. And if he’s not at Parramatta next year then he’s not playing for anybody.”

Sterling said the club needed to withstand any pressure to release him early.

“This is a club that has lost Jarryd Hayne and Kieran Foran in quick succession,” said Sterling. “I don’t think they can have Semi Radradra be leaving on the back of those two.”

Oh Gaz, if some one doesn't agree with you they "don't have a a clue" once again ?

I think I see a pattern here.

And you called me smug ?

And speaking of Devin Townsend, I think my left ear has finally gone

 

[Twizzle]

Geez, who'd a thunk there were more than one side to this story?

I'm so glad the Bernie has weighed in on this, some of the media leaches are just feasting on this and there are quiet a lot of articles with no quotes from anyone and just parroting what other articles have written.

But Bert said we should cut him loose.

Sterlo seems to be the voice of reason, he may even get to save Laurie Daleys arse

You don't seem to understand what I am saying.

I am suggesting that "You don't have a clue" because I haven't seen any evidence that you've been properly following the conversations in this thread. On at least six occasions you've chosen to focus on one very small aspect of what I post and then put what I am now calling a "Twiz Twist" on it.

Case in point. The fact that in the last post you quoted, I actually specifically addressed the issue of people agreeing/disagreeing with me and said that wasn't the issue. I then referred to you as "not having a clue" but didn't suggest that the reason was because you disagreed with me.

 

[Twizzle]

I didn't take issue with some of your points because I dont have an issue with them

That's all well and good Sterlo, but if Semi doesn't want to be at the club and his dramas have a negative influence then they shouldn't go out of their way to make him stay.

Also, having him sit a year out because he doesn't want to play for Parra would be a disastrous outcome for a club that has had its salary cap woes. That is the one scenario we must definitely avoid.

 

[Gronk]

Watching Bernie's interview, he basically said that his manager lined up a gig in France as cover for the integrity unit re-registering Semi, if convicted.

What got out of hand was Comic Book Guy announcing a done deal (like he did with Quade Cooper) before any ink was on paper, and in Semi's case, before his current job even finished.

My only concern with the Bernster's take on all this is that he can only go by what Semi's manager tells him ... and we all know how player managers are

Might not be so bad. I remember that German officer in 'Allo 'Allo had a thing for the lettuce.

From the Sterlo article

The eels are hoping to persuade him to stay beyond his contract expiration at the end of next season, while Sterling suggested Radradra might be angling to get out of parramatta early.

I think the club needs to start being careful about giving the impression we would like to extend Semi's contract... at least until after he bothers to attend court, and if he is cleard of his DV charges.

Just hold him to his current contract, or get Toulon to agree to pay a release fee. Don't f**king extend the bloke while he's got charges over his head - and while he appears to be avoiding fronting up to face them.

Why?
They should be backing their players innocence and move forward. If, he is then found guilty then they deal with it then (through sacking or standing down).
There is nothing to be gained by treating him as guilty until it happens, that's how you lose great players.

Don't understand why we wouldn't hold off our long term negotiations until some of the dust settles.

Further, I think you can hold off on extending his contract, support him and not assume he is guilty all at the same time. I don't see how they are mutually exclusive actions.
