Semi Radradra

You're just going off some puff piece from Radradra's manager and assuming that the situation is the same as someone you know.

The more likely scenario is:

* Radradra isn't a saint.
* They are both responsible for getting themselves into the shit situation they did.
Sorry mate, I think in these situations it's best to not comment unless you were there. Having gone through a very similar situation myself, (at one stage she broke my ribs) feeling at times that no one would ever believe me because it's always "the blokes fault", I'm personally wrapped that Semi has told his side of the story. Yep I was responsible for the situation because I stayed for my son.

Whether it be Snake, SKD or Semi as an example, they were all hung drawn and quartered in the media and court of public opinion, almost destroyed and then finally cleared of any wrong doing, it makes media for 24 hours and then goes away. Whereas, when the story comes out originally, these blokes have had their names rubbished for months.

Sorry, raw nerve for me

That's fine mate. Sorry to hear what happened to you. Hope things are better now.

But seriously, those players are being let go at season's end. No reason to expect Semi to get cut early. He'll probably kill it, even if his heart's not in it. And maybe we can get him mid-season anyway.

Any club that takes a car wreck like Barba on have got rocks in their heads.
He'd actually be a decent signing for the Tigers. Does he have to serve his suspension from the NRL once a contract is registered?

If so, a contract could be registered now and he'd be free to start the 2018 season.

He'd be right to play with in the last round.

I'd be shocked if Cleary went there.

I wonder if Toulon would rather sign The Plane now than keep Semi under contract
Toulon spent €31.5m on their team this year and have been known to warehouse players who hardly get a game. I doubt they would be inclined to release semi to save money.

^^^ report above says that they are releasing Barba Gitteau Mitchell and two others. That's prolly €4 or 5m just there.

Is that €31.5m on players or is that what it cost to run the team?
