'I CAN AND I WILL watch me'

Even with this warning, shared on Instagrampre-game, the Melbourne Storm were unprepared for the onslaught Semi Radradrahad prepared for them. Against the competition leaders, the flying Fijian wasat his intimidating and exhilarating best.

In a scintillating opening 15 minutes,Radradra was called into action three times, two kick returns and at the end ofa chain of passes, and each time he broke the line and rampaged down the lefthand flank for massive territorial gains.

Almost unstoppable, by full-time, Radradrahad broken 10 tackles, scored a try and run for over 200 metres. It is the kindof performance that shows why the Eels are so keen to secure the formerKangaroos' services once his sojourn in French Rugby ends.

The Eels need to be working hard to get him back next season. With performances like that there will be plenty of other teams having a crack as well. I wouldn't want the club to get into a bidding war for him but they do need to prepare to open up the cheque book. $700/$750k but no more. That is unprecedented money for a winger. The team is always more important than the individual.

Semi's English proficiency is coming along nicely, and is perhaps more advanced than some members of this site. However, this line sounds like big noting from a 10 yr old kid who forgets to use full stops and commas. "you just watch mate, you just watch....".

"Start Samrani either centre or wing. He smashed the sharks and the chooks. Was fast, tackle-busting and once he set his eyes on the try line it was curtains for the opposition.
I'd start him on the wing as not to disrupt Rusty and the combos set up…"
