Parramatta great Peter Sterling has cast doubt on whether Semi Radradra will return to the NRL, despite assurances from the Fijian flyer that he will be back to take on Cronulla on Saturday. Pirates Jerseys 2020 .Radradra became caught up in a whirlwind of turmoil after rumours that he was set to make an immediate switch to European rugby union emerged in the wake of his decision to take a mid-season sojourn to native country.His immediate NRL future became further clouded on Wednesday when it emerged his former partner had applied for an apprehended violence order, claiming he had assaulted her on a number of occasions over an eight-month period.He failed to return to training on Wednesday, but his manager has guaranteed that he would see out his contract, which expires at the end of next year.The club is understood to be asking for $700,000 from Radradra should he want a release, and Seven Network reported that the Eels demand for compensation had forced French rugby club Bordeaux to take their offer off the table.The club has said it expects the Australian Test winger back in time for Fridays captains run, but Sterling questioned whether Australian rugby league fans had seen the last of the two-time Dally M winger of the year.What concerns me today is the latest reports coming out, Parramatta talking about compensation and recompense, Sterling said on Fox Sports.And thats a real red flag to me in relation to what the club might do if Semi Radradra comes back to play. I dont like that.The Eels proposal for a six-figure compensation package is similar to the one Sonny Bill Williams was forced to pay Canterbury following his walk out in 2008.There needs to be consequences, Sterling said.We cant have Sonny Bill Williams doing what he did, there have to be ramifications in regards to Semi.Im sure there are extenuating circumstances, but the bottom line is there is a contract there until the end of next season and I know Parramatta are very keen for him to honour that.

NEW YORK -- For all of his victories during two decades on the tennis tour, including eight Grand Slam titles, Andre Agassi looks back most fondly these days on the aftermath of a loss.During an interview Tuesday in the city where he played his last professional match 10 years ago, Agassi called the way he walked away from the sport as good a moment as he had on court during his lengthy, successful always-in-the-spotlight careerOn Sept. 3, 2006, Agassi lost a third-round match at the U.S. Open against Benjamin Becker, then delivered an on-court speech in Arthur Ashe Stadium to an adoring crowd that gave him a lengthy standing ovation as he headed into retirement.It really brought together what its all been about from the beginning, which is people and connection. And it put everything into perspective: the ups, the downs, the successes, the failures, the triumphs, the comebacks. I not only grew up in New York, but New York helped me grow up, the 46-year-old Agassi said.So when all of a sudden it was over, and there was that raw emotion -- both on my end and 20,000 other people who were in the stadium -- it made me realize how connected weve all been over the years, he continued, thinking back on that occasion. And Ive got to say, I look back on that moment as probably the best moment Ive ever had on a tennis court.He famously wrote in his book Open that he always hated tennis with a dark and secret passion because of his overbearing father, and so maybe it shouldnt come as any surprise that Agassi said he rarely picks up a racket these days.Ill give charity lessons, he said, but thats about it.Becker, who is 35, was on court at the U. Dave Parker Jersey. S. Open on Tuesday, losing in the first round.Asked what he recalls most from his long-ago match against Agassi, Becker replied: It was a tough match, and I dont remember that much.Then he paused, before adding with a grin: But I remember I won. I hit an ace on the final point.Becker said that day is brought up to him by others quite often, obviously, but I understand it, and he referred to having the honor of playing him in the last match.Agassi, who won the U.S. Open in 1994 and 1999, planned to be at Ashe as a spectator for Tuesdays night session, in connection with his new role as a spokesman for Lavazza coffee.As part of the arrangement, $1 per coffee sold at the brands cafes at the two-week tournament will go to the USTA Foundation to benefit the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education.Between matches Tuesday, the stadium scoreboards were supposed to show an ad in which Agassi is seen having an espresso in an Italian piazza, leading to a series of flashback videos of him as a kid and a pro.Its capped by Agassi transforming into his long-haired, day-Glo-outfit persona of yesteryear and declaring, Im back!Initially, when I read it on paper, I was like, `No way Im doing it, Agassi said. But then, when I talked to the director, and they sort of said: `Listen, heres how its being filmed. Its like this flashback. It wont be a close up. ... Just putting on that outfit made me feel real old, let me assure you.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
