Back in the fold: Semi Radradra at Parramatta Eels training on Friday. Credit:Mark Metcalfe To say that Ting and her daughter were struggling financially is an understatement. Those who have been across their circumstances tell me the low point came when Radradra was in Auckland for the Nines. She was very low on money and felt isolated. It was a case of existing on tea and crackers. But what has made the matter even worse is the falling out Ting has had with Radradra's family. She has been accused of being interested in the Eels star only for his money. That has made her angry. Throw in Radradra's new girlfriend and you start to understand why she felt it was time to take a stand. As Ting said on the front lawn of her home: "No one is above the law." As for the allegations and who knew what and when, it would appear Parramatta did not know about any allegations of domestic violence. They have a very strong view on violence towards women and won't stand for any player behaving in that matter. My understanding is that the main person Ting dealt with at the club was Daniel Anderson. She didn't tell him about the incidents. The Eels welfare department has no record of any incidents. The current welfare officer, Matt Francis, had no knowledge of the matter. And Francis deals with Ting. He started at the club after the alleged offences are to have taken place. The welfare officer at the time, Kevin Wise, was never advised of an alleged assault.

It is understood Ting did go to Westmead Hospital at the time. Police are interested in those medical records. It is also believed she did not want to proceed with the matter. The third party who had the most contact with the couple at that time was a Fijian pastor who they confided in. The problems between the couple were brought to the attention of Radradra's manager, George Christodoulou, earlier this year. Ting told him she was going to make it known how Radradra had allegedly treated her. It's not certain she detailed any alleged assault. While on Christodoulou, it is significant to note that he has had some experience in these matters. He also manages Shaun Kenny-Dowall. The Roosters star's volatile relationship with Jessica Peris was dragged through the courts and his reputation was damaged seriously, but he was found not guilty. Privately, the NRL was never that uncomfortable about the Kenny-Dowall case. There is more concern with this situation, given the serious nature of the allegations, and the way Radradra walked away and came back and said he was right to play. That does not sit well with the game's big wigs. Christodoulou had no clue Radradra was about to be arrested on Thursday night. He only found out when Nine reporter Danika Mason told him what had happened.

Moves to squeeze Foran out of Eels The Semi Radradra situation has swamped the big decision by Brad Arthur and the Eels to give Kieran Foran a breach notice and rip the captaincy away from him. Let's not mess around, everyone involved in this situation can see it for what it is: the first step in an attempt to breach Foran out of the club. Foran is an intelligent man – he can see what is going on, and his agent, George Mimis, has been around the block too many times to have the wool pulled over his eyes. It would appear the relationship between Arthur and Foran, which was almost like a father-son bond, is fractured. As this column reported, Foran walked into a recent meeting with Arthur fearing he would be sacked. He now knows that is a reality.

We told you a few weeks ago that Foran's recent visit to a mental health clinic was his second in the past six months. He was treated just after Christmas, spending three weeks under supervision. And straight after that he was thrown into the captaincy role at the Eels. The step from getting that kind of treatment into leadership of a team is a huge one – and you have to wonder what kind of consideration was given to that. As an outsider, it seemed to be the most obvious choice you could make, but club officials must have had doubts. And now, as Foran struggles with depression and other mental issues, he has been penalised for not being the leader the club needed and wanted him to be. I'd be horrified if Foran wasn't being smothered with support and care, but to issue him with a breach notice while he is in this state would indicate he is either on the way out or rejecting the support he is being offered. There is also the burning issue of the way Foran carried the injury into the match against Newcastle in round 12. There is a thought that has caused a split between Foran and the club. Whatever the case, Foran's wellbeing is what is really important. He has been close to the edge for some time and he needs ongoing support.

Hayne barriers Jarryd Hayne is being touted as the Eels signing-in-waiting and while that would be a wonderful feel-good story, there are some realities that need to be dealt with. When he departed the NRL for the NFL, Hayne said he was disillusioned with the "suburban" nature of the game. He has taken his talent to the world and loved it. Hayne is well and truly over the media who cover the NRL and you can't imagine he'd rush back to become the biggest story in town again. Hayne would need other marquee players to be at the club so it would not be the Hayne show. Sure there is Michael Jennings, but there is severe doubt about the other genuine star back Radradra running out for the Eels in 2018. For Hayne to pocket the kind of money he deserves there would be no room for Foran.

And don't discount the relationship that Hayne's agent, Wayne Beavis, has with the Eels. Beavis certainly doesn't owe the Eels too many favours after the club's recent salary cap scandal. Johns backs Jones as an NRL coach Andrew Johns has no doubt England rugby coach Eddie Jones could cross codes and make it as an NRL coach. "Without a doubt; Eddie would be a great NRL coach," Johns said. Johns and Jones have been friends since Jones tried to get Johns to change codes and become a Wallaby.

"The reason that Eddie would be a success is because what he does best is simplifies the game and simplifies it for his players. He does that in rugby, and he works so hard. He has all the traits that you need. "He could handle every element of an NRL coaching position. And the players love him. I talked to the English players and they could not speak more highly of him. I'd love to see him in the NRL." Feud for thought

Don't expect Paul Gallen and Phil Gould to suddenly become best of mates. Gallen has been on the end of Gould's strong opinions and is mystified by the sprays. Gould won't back down from the opinions he has held for some time now. It's a shame. Both are highly influential figures and have given so much to the Blues. Hello Sailor Tristan Sailor is certainly emerging as a player to watch. Just 18, he was the star of the Steelers team that made the SG Ball final against the Panthers. Sailor has just signed on with agent David Riolo, who looks after a host of stars, including Blues skipper Paul Gallen. Sailor has another year to run on his deal with the Dragons, but there are already a number of teams making inquiries about his availability. Sailor is about to enrol in university to study commerce.
