Semi Radradra is considering a shock return to the NRL and Parramatta are early favourites to secure his signature.
News of Radradra’s intention to return to Australia is sure to spark a flurry of interest among several desperate clubs, despite his likely $1 million asking price.
The Eels, with whom Radradra played for five years before quitting the NRL at the end of 2017, are already considered his most likely destination.
The reason for Radradra’s shock return is simple: he prefers living in Australia to France.
Radradra has told those around him that he no longer enjoys the French lifestyle, having spent last season with Bordeaux after two years with Toulon.
The Fijian flyer is staying in rugby until after the World Cup in September and October but is hoping a deal can be struck afterwards to bring him back.
Now 27, Radradra was among the NRL’s most devastating kick returners and already shapes as a must-have asset for several NRL clubs which are struggling to be effective at the back.

It seems players who leave NRL to play another code of football are not the same on return for a time . Reduced fitness often a reason .
Rubbish
Hope not. I’d like to think he’d come back to the Eels. Before he went to Union he always expressed his desire to comeback. Then again so did Hayne. I won’t be getting my hopes up that’s for sure.
What position does he play now?
Centre?
Correct.
See ya Mick Jennings
Don't let the door hit your arse
Forwards are the bigger issue
But the club has zero backs who can carry Semis jockstrap
Give him a mil and stick him in the middle.
Haha now there’s some nice jugs....
