PARRAMATTA fans won’t be happy to hear it but Semi Radradra has told the Eels he has no intentions of rejoining the club next year.
The club had held hope Radradra could make a rugby league comeback once his commitments with Toulon finish midway through next year’s NRL season. But Radradra is committed to trying his hand at the 15-man game and at this stage wants to see out his rich two-year deal in France.
The flying winger has also ruled out any hope of a World Cup farewell to rugby league, insisting he will be France-bound as soon as his NRL season ends with the Eels.
“I’m looking forward to the new challenge,” Radradra said.
“I sent the head coach Fabien Galthie a text message the other week telling him I’m looking forward to joining the team.
“Who knows what will happen in the future, but as of now, there aren’t any plans to rejoin the Eels or another NRL side. My immediate focus is on finishing this season on a high with Parra.”
When Radradra was cleared of domestic violence charges earlier this year, Parramatta tried to entice the 25-year-old to remain.
But he had already committed to Toulon for one season — with an option in his favour for the second year. It would cost Radradra about $440,000 to break the contract. That won’t be happening.
Local media in Fiji suggested Radradra could farewell league with the Bati at the World Cup. “As much as I would have enjoyed playing in another World Cup, I won’t be available for selection,” Radradra said.
“The French season starts in August, and I need to be there as soon as my season with Parramatta finishes.”

But with a bigger forward pack next year, hopefully we won't miss as much
Its legit and Semi is being quoted there.
Note the clown stated he has no plans regarding joining another NRL club in the future lol
You can take it to the bank that the reason the bloke said that is because he does.
Only if you dont do a bit of research that takes 30 seconds luke, just google it up, blogs legit.
Obviously someone from his future club has seen the reports of him returning to the eels as soon as his Toulon contract is up and he has had to come out and refute those claims.
Why is it so many on here have wonderful brains between their ears, but you've got farking play dough?
When they read what their lawyer told them to say it is not meant to convey the truth
Does not have any reflection on whether he will or won't be back
Actually I think it sounds like he will be back
