Eels hopeful Radradra will return

Eels coach Brad Arthur hopes that last night’s game against the Cowboys was not Semi Radradra’s last game for the club.

As Radradra prepares to play for Toulon in France, Arthur says it’s disappointing for Semi to be going out on those terms adding he has been great for the club and has worked extremely hard to be the league player he is now and at some stage they would like to have him back with the club.

The Eels did not lose a regular‑season game in which Radradra scored a try this year.   

Meanwhile, in the preliminary finals the Cowboys will play the Roosters at 9.40pm Saturday while the Melbourne Storm will host the Broncos at 9.55pm Friday.
