FORMER Wallaby Greg Martin says the Australian Rugby Union should target Semi Radradra in the wake of the Parramatta Eels salary cap scandal.

The Eels are under pressure to shed salary after being exposed for rorting the NRL cap and star winger Radradra is reportedly a “quick fix” candidate to leave the troubled club.

Radradra — who is set to debut for the Kangaroos in Friday’s trans-Tasman Test in Newcastle — has a rugby background, representing Fiji in sevens and at the junior world championship.

Rugby 360 co-host Martin said the ARU would be mad not to target the likes of Radradra and Melbourne Storm flyer Marika Koroibete for a code switch.

“In terms of a lot of these Fijians, they’re not just here in Australia playing rugby union and rugby league, they’re over in France playing,” Martin told Fox Sports News.

“But that’s where (Radradra) started.

“He was a rugby union player and then he had a look at guys like Lote Tuqiri and went: ‘hmmm, I wouldn’t mind having a crack at that.’

“And my understanding is that rugby league outside backs don’t get paid all that much money whereas in union they are on the big dollars, they are the superstars.

“The playmakers in league get paid all the money, so we could grab him.

“We would take him every single day of the week, Semi Radradra.

“Rugby league’s Eto Nabuli, who’s on the wing for the Queensland Reds at the moment, he’s killing it.

“He’s only just getting his head around what’s required to play Super Rugby but he’s doing really well.

“So any other players you want to send us, we’ll certainly take.”

On NRL Tonight, Fox Sports’ chief NRL reporter James Hooper said Radradra and injured veteran Anthony Watmough could both make way at the embattled Eels.

“Semi remains upset at the fact that he’s owed some third-party money by the club that hasn’t been forthcoming,” Hooper said.

“I have heard that he could potentially become another player that the Eels (can move on) with the club needing a quick fix.”
