SEMI RADRADRA STATEMENT

Semi Radradra has ruled out a return to the NRL despite being linked recently to a comeback in the competition where he made his name.In an interview with French media outlet Sud Ouest, the former Parramatta Eels star said he had enjoyed his stint in rugby union and would not be rejoining the 13-player code.

 

The 27-year-old winger, who represented the Kangaroos in one Test in 2016 after earlier playing three times for Fiji, scored 82 tries in 94 games for the Eels during a five-year stint which ended in 2017."I know there are a lot of rumours going on and talking about a return to the XIII but a return to XIII is not an option for me ," he said. "I already proved myself in XIII. The NRL is behind me, it's over. I already proved that I was one of the best Fijians in this league. Playing XV, I like it, I love more and more, I'm in a different environment ... I still have a lot to learn and things to prove."When asked if he would continue in French rugby or head to England, he replied: "Nobody knows. This is my last year of my contract in Bordeaux, my agent takes care of the rest. "He will study the best offers and we will see. I like this Bordeaux team, I found a family here. 

 

This club gave me a great opportunity, he discovered my talent and allowed me to become the player I am today. "But in the end, it's a business story. I must also consider my family. I will look at the best options available to me, and I will make my choice."

              • He would taste like shit

  • Semi is one of the biggest straight out liars the clubs ever seen.

    I used to say it about him when he was here, he'd make a public statement, then totally contradict it a week later with the exact opposite.

    Semi wouldnt even trust himself he's so full of shit.
