SEMI Radradra was a no-show at Parramatta training on Wednesday morning, with his manager confirming the club has granted the star winger extra leave.

Eels coach Brad Arthur gathered his players before training to inform them Radradra had not yet arrived back in Sydney and was now scheduled to be back on Friday for the team’s captain’s run, just a day before their big clash with Cronulla.

“I want to inform you that Semi won’t be at training today as previously expected,” Radradra’s manager George Christodoulou, told foxsports.com.au via a text message.

“He failed to get on his flight last night and is still in Fiji.

“(Eels coach) Brad (Arthur) has subsequently given him an extra couple days off to remain in Fiji with his family.

“He will still be taking his place in the team against the Sharks this weekend.

“Semi remains committed to the eels for the remainder of his current contract expiring in 2017 and will not be going to French rugby or anywhere else whilst under contract.”

Speaking to the media after Wednesday’s training session, Michael Jennings joked his left edge partner was “on Fiji time” but said, like the club, he expected Radradra back later this week.

“Look, Semi’s a natural athlete. I think for himself, he could just warm up and he’d be ready to play,” Jennings said.

“For him it’s just getting back and it doesn’t really distract us we’re just focused on doing what we need to do.”

The latest twist comes after the two-time reigning Dally M winger of the year was granted leave to return to his native Fiji during the club’s bye week amid reports he had told friends and family he would not return.

Top 14 club Bordeaux have reportedly tabled an offer for the Australian Test flyer worth $35,000 per game, with the added bonus of it being tax free.

According to Fairfax Media, the Eels are seeking $700,000 in compensation should he walk out on the club.

The club would ask $500,000, the worth of his remaining contract, which expires at the end of next year, as well as $200,000 in damages.

The deal is similar to the one struck by Sonny Bill Williams following his infamous walk out on Canterbury in 2008.

Radradra was on Tuesday named in coach Brad Arthur’s side to take on the table-topping Cronulla at Shark Park on Saturday night.

After Radradra left the country and reports of his departure from the NRL flared, the club said his mid-season sojourn had been planned and he would be back in time to take on the Sharks.

Should he fail to turn up at the Eels’ training centre at North Parramatta on Wednesday, it would cast doubt on his future in rugby league.

However, it would not be the first time he has returned late from a trip to Fiji.

The club could issue Radradra with a breach notice - just a day after Kieran Foran was issued a similar notice and stripped of the captaincy for failing to fulfil his commitments over his rehabilitation from a shoulder injury.
