Semi RaDrama

[T-Boon]

I have no doubt that Khoder Nasser is behind all of this.
Semi will punt his agent and the NRL, but not before another week of rumour and intrigue orchestrated by Nasser and his mouthpiece Weidler.

There was clearly something like that going on. My hope is that it was more agent BS as a negotiating tactic for his next deal or next year, rather than really trying to leave right now. Weidler and Eels Board statements have the exact same credibility level in my eyes

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Must be frustrating, when you are clearly best player in team, and you are getting a 1/3 of what watmough is getting to sit on the couch, and 1/4 of what foran is getting to sit at home on his tab account...

But Semi, there is a truckload coming, just stay fit for 18 months... First $1M winger ever ???

 

[adamkungl]

I know what he meant, its a silly thought unless there is a specific clause saying Semi has to pay some penalty amount if he breaches the contract, and there would be no such clause because no NRL player who was in demand like Semi would sign a contract with that clause in it.

Why would Semi pay Parra the remainder of the value of the contract owed to him? The contract is Parra paying Semi he doesn't owe them what he hasn't earned yet if he breaches it, he just doesn't get paid that money. Even if another team from Australia wanted to buy Semi out they wouldn't just pay the contract value they would negotiate. The reality is there is very little an NRL contract can do to stop Semi walking out to French rugby. They can take it to court but its questionable how effective that would be in this case.

Well, looks like there is.

Shit who would have thought that a contract might protect both parties involves :crazy:
(if of course the latest statements by his management and club are true)

They do. That is why they exist. They still don't force behaviour, just outline what occurs for given events.

Are Parra fans deluded enough to think he wasnt trying to get out of his contract?

#clickbait

What evidence was there that he was trying to get out of his contract? Danny Weidler? Parramatta, Semi Radradra and Semi's sister all said that he'd be staying.

I think you're onto something here.

Stinks of DCE's 2012 contract upgrade tactics except Semi has yawnion leverage.

 

[Foreign Legion]

So let me get this straight... signed a contract till 2018... but I'll most likely stick it out till the end of season. So I can maybe play union next year... what a twat

I'm sure they visited the NRL officials just to say hiiiiiiii

 

[stormbati]

Biggest beat-up ever. Weidler's got nothing these days

Perhaps they were seeking permission for him to play union until April?

And you know this how? He was always going to honour his contract and beyond, but I guess ur right because u have "lots of posts"

Yes weirdler is not reliable but the jury is still out on Radradra's future.

 

[El Diablo]

no

he has said he will be playing until at least the end of 2017 when his contract ends

 

[God-King Dean]

How do you know he was always going to honour his contract and beyond?

I know you're wrong, because you have barely any posts

Punk bitch

BREAKING NEWS - why is every story from certain 'journalists' BREAKING NEWS? A few of them showed today how bad reporting has become with their news first, rather than news fact approach. Then when one of their stories eventuates they gloat about it like they've found a way to feed every human being on Earth with 3 decent meals a day for the rest of their lives

 

[Sphagnum]

This is almost at farce levels now.

The Daily Telegraph are reporting that Semi's sister has denied that he is leaving the Eels to go to French Rugby.

The Sydney Morning Herald though are reporting his sister has confirmed he is leaving the Eels to go to French Rugby.

Hard to understand how two media organisations can have such diamaterically opposed views attributed to the same person.

(p.s. No, I did not read the stories - can't from here at work today).

One of them has to be right now, that's all that matters.

Is Semi available for NSW ?

 

[Last Week]

Is Semi available for NSW ?

No.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Is Semi available for NSW ?

If he was you'd imagine Daley and Fulton would have been sacked before game 1 for not selecting him.
