Which family-first Australian expectations isn't he fitting? The one that you um (allegedly) beat up your Missus? Or the one that you don't front up to court and try and prove your innocence?
In Australia we have the presumption of innocence. It's not for the defendant to prove it.

so you've never spoken to Semi but you're an expert on what words he uses in a conversation

in fact, you're a self proclaimed conversational expert on all Rugby League players

is there a University course you did for this?

maybe you should write a book about it
Do you think he dumbs down his conversation whenever he speaks publically?

Not the point I was making, however that's a fairly predictable response. Try the one where he's young man who's grown up in a different culture which places family at the centre of everything. then work your way from there.

Man some of you guys are just looking to pick fights with anybody. Chipmunk made what could be considered a reasonable deduction regarding that interview in comparison to actual live interviews we have heard with Semi and the large different in language and grammar used.

I'd say in the most the majority of the quotes you would read in the paper would be from the media interview that the player generally have to attend.

This "interview" was clearly conducted under different circumstances.
True. I reckon quite a lot of them are.

Similar to when a government or organisation releases a media statement. The CEO/minister didn't really say those words, some merkin wrote it!

For this article, there is no way David Riccio interviewed Semi in person, asked him questions and those were the responses that came out of Semi's mouth. Riccio must have emailed some questions and Semi, his Manager and possibly others have replied to the questions.
Clearly not - "The thing people forget is that Semi Radradra played rugby union for the first 19 years of my life, I had never watched a game of rugby league until I arrived at Parramatta. I was recruited from the Fijian national rugby union team to join the NRL."
Otherwise he would have kept talking in 3rd person

Its quite possibly the most horse shit "supposed" interview i've ever seen .... probably plenty of truth behind bits of it, but its clearly made up by some merkin

The giveaway was the email signature at the end of the article that appeared in some of the early editions of the Sunday Tele. It said;

You seem to assume people aren't here to just pick fights? I basically only come here to read the dribble posted in arguments.
This joint is like Fight Club, although most people are overweight unlike Brad Pitt and we hurt each other with our keyboards.

Sure sure... so tell me how does (allegedly) beating up your missus fit with your theory of family at the centre of everything again?
