Parramatta's de facto chief, Ian Schubert, has stepped in to quash any plans for the club to allow Semi Radradra to play French rugby while still contracted to the Eels as uncertainty continues about whether the winger will return from Fiji to rejoin the Eels.
Radradra remains in Fiji, visiting his family, having been granted leave during a bye round and there are concerns at Parramatta about whether he will be back after telling friends he did not intend to return.
With the 24‑year‑old linked with a move to Bordeaux in French rugby's Top 14 competition, officials at the Eels had privately discussed a possible compromise permitting Radradra to play in Europe from this August to next April if he agreed to a new three‑year contract at Parramatta.
The Eels is on bye this week while the Titans will host the Sea Eagles at 9 tonight.
