Parramatta cult hero Semi Radradra has told long-suffering Eels fans that the Blue and Golds were set for a huge 2016 after recruiting well in the off season. While there are still question marks over their salary cap dramas, the Fijian winger says the players are ready to let their football do the talking.

“This year will be a good year for us at Parra,” Radradra told NRL.com.

“We have some new players as well. It’s good for the club. I’m really looking for a great season this year, we’ll try our best to play hard and see what happens in October this year.

“It’s good having (Michael) Jennings here; I’m not sure how they’re going to pick the team but I’m very excited and I can’t wait to play, whether he plays on my side or the other side I’m looking forward to working with them both (Jennings and Brad Takairangi). It’s good for the club.

“I’m not really disappointed because like I said the coach hasn’t decided which centre will be on my side. I’m very excited for both and very happy with whatever the coach chooses.

“It’s a good buzz for everyone, everyone’s happy.”
