Semi Radradra

[I'm a loser baby...]

True. I just mean from a cap perspective. You lose a player on the eve of the comp and you're stuck with half their wage on the cap for no benefit.

Yeah it sucks but that's why you have a squad of 40. And whatever you pay for a replacement only has to cover part of the year.

If you didnt play em for the training then they'd probably be entitled to say - i will turn up a week before the season begins and say bye on mad monday

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

f**ken lazy players. Almost as bad as Bernie.

I may owe Radradra an apology. But not yet.

Anyone know where things are at with Semi's court matter. Has that been dropped?

He pleaded not guilty on 3 July thats over 4 months ago - it is getting long in the tooth for a DV matter. The local court has a specific practice note which is all about these DV matters being dealt with swiftly.

I'm supposed to be doing jury duty at Parramatta court in the next couple of weeks, i wonder if it will be his case.

You'd have to claim impartiality as an eels supporter and get excused haha.

They've already rejected my plea to be excused even though i have to take my two daughters (5&7) to school every day.

No juries in the Local Court BF. You'll need another reason to be excused

Have you tried telling them what BF stands for?

 

[phantom eel]

Or showing them... that'll likely get you disqualified from duty.

 

[T-Boon]

thanks, damn I was hoping it was dropped and somehow that news hadn't got out.

When Grant & Meninga picked the Australian squad they said Semi wasn't considered as he had to focus on his court case that was set for a week after the final and they didn't want it to be a distraction for him

Sorry, it was Greenberg..

"In Semi's case, while he has pleaded not guilty, he has charges to answer at the end of the tournament," Greenberg said.

"We don't want either him or the team to be distracted by this matter and have decided he will not be eligible for selection on this occasion."
