Semi Radradra in top knick!

SEMI RADRADRA IS TERRIFYING

Through all of the debate about the relevance of the All Stars match, Parramatta’s Semi Radradra was surprisingly vocal about his enthusiasm for the game and that shone through on Saturday night.

Radradra looked terrifying in both attack and defence and Joel Thomspon and James Roberts will both still be sore following some thunderous collisions with the Fijian winger.

The 23-year old grabbed his customary try and looked to be in sensational nick ahead of the season opener against Brisbane.

With back-to-back Round 1 hat-tricks in 2013 and 2014 and having scored an incredible 24 tries in 18 games in 2015, Radradra looks a serious chance of becoming the first man since Nathan Blacklock in 1999-2001 to lead the try-scoring lists three years in a row.

Didn't Hayne take out top try scorer in 2014?

I actually thought Semi was unused to the most part in the All Stars outside Croker but he did go looking for the ball. Some of his hits on players when defending were brutal!
