Radradra threatens NRL walkout

Radradra threatens NRL walkout

Parramatta Eels star Semi Radradra

Parramatta Eels star Semi Radradra is threatening to walk out on the NRL and rugby league altogether after being denied the chance to play State of Origin.

Radradra is considering joining rugby union overseas.

The news comes after Queensland and New South Wales have stated that the Origin eligibility laws will not be changed to accommodate Radradra representing the Blues and ultimately Australia.

Radradra said he is now considering his options and has been having discussions with European and Japanese clubs.

The Fijian Flyer was granted Australian residency in January this year.

He is not eligible to play State of Origin because he did not play Junior rugby league in Australia.
 
The Parramatta Eels will take on Tigers at 5pm next Monday.

Meanwhile, the Rabbitohs take on the Bulldogs at 5pm today.
