SEMI making world news

Fijian flyer’s outrageous offload from the deck the highlight of cracking performance

NRL star Semi Radradra was in stunning form for the Parramatta Eels this weekend.

FIJIAN WINGERS ARE not only making a name for themselves at the top of European rugby union but also in Australian rugby league.

And leading the way for the past three years has been 100kg powerhouse wing Semi Radradra, from Suva, the capital of the Pacific nation.

This year’s NRL might be only into its third gameweek but the 23-year-old Parramatta Eels star looked as sharp as ever when producing this outrageous offload from the ground, to centre Michael Jennings, after timing his kick-chase to perfection.

Radradra, who is affectionately known as the ‘Semi Trailer’, went on to bag a double for the Eels, who claimed a 20-6 victory against the Bulldogs.

This powerful solo effort showed the problems he can cause with ball in hand.

An athlete of serious quality, his latest efforts come of little surprise to NRL fans when he has already produced magic like this:

  • And his only 23 years old, imagine how good he will be in 3-4 years!!!
  • why spoil a good old international series mate.

    QLD play anyone and plan to play more PNG players somoans fijians in the next couple of years.

    I do not see a problem as Uate played for NSW so can Semi.

    Give him a run and the extra cash would be good for him and the EELS to keep him in the GAME.

    I certainly would want him playing for NSW and Australia.

    His first game of NRL was with Parramatta, outside of the fact the stupid rule is you have to play before a certain age.

    Personally that could be fought in the courts and the rule changed. Once Semi is an Aussie Citizen which he should be this year after 4 1/2 years in Australia then NSW or QLD should not be a issue.

  • What's the difference between Uate playing for NSW and Semi playing for NSW ? He should be given a go, don't understand why he wouldnt be eligible if Uate got a chance.

    • NRL war chest is the biggest lie in the game it will NEVER be used
    • He's signed until 2018.
  • Well technically his first rugby league game was for the Eels in the Under 20's.

  • You have to play your first game before a certain age I think is 16 so he was after the age restriction required to be eligible to play!
  • Your in your athletic prime at 23
  • If jnr is worth 700k, Semi would be worth over a million easily.
  • Its bullshit, its racist, if he believes hes an australian and wants to be an australian he should be able to play. First winger picked for NSW and Aus. Semi go mabo on them.
