Parramatta chief executive Bernie Gurr insists Semi Radradra is in the NRL to stay, describing Toulon as no more than a back-up plan should he be kicked out of rugby league.But Gurr admits its not ideal the star winger will face court over domestic violence charges less than three weeks before the 2017 season begins.Radradra returned to team training on the NSW central coast on Wednesday, hours after surrendering his passport in a Sydney court and amid drama and confusion about his future.The 24-year-old arrived back in Australia from Fiji on Tuesday night with his NRL fate on shaky ground and a Toulon contract on the table.Gurr staunchly refuted the French rugby powerhouses announcement on Monday they had secured Radradras signature for the 2017-18 Top 14 season, adamant the Eels intended to hold onto their prized winger at least until his contract expired at the end of 2017.He said Radradras manager George Christodoulou had definitively denied the deal was done, or even verbally committed to, despite Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellals insistence to the contrary.His manager has been honest with us and we have no reason to question what hes told us, said Gurr, who said the Eels were in preliminary negotiations about securing Radradras signature long term, pending a verdict on his charges.My understanding is that Semis preference is to stay in the NRL.Gurr did concede a Toulon deal could be plan B if Radradra was convicted of three charges of domestic violence brought by his former partner Perina Ting and banished from the NRL by the games integrity unit.Radradra, who denies the allegations, failed to appear on Monday in Parramatta Local Court, angering the magistrate sufficiently to threaten him with an arrest warrant.When he finally fronted on Wednesday morning, his lawyer convinced the magistrate his clients father had been sick enough to warrant an unscheduled trip home to Fiji, which was taken with Parramattas blessing.While the arrest warrant was revoked, Radradra was forced to hand over his passport, meaning he would be unable to leave Australia before his hearing on February 13.That would rule him out of Februarys Auckland Nines, in which he played a key role in the Eels 2016 title that was later stripped due to salary-cap breaches.Gurr admitted the timing of Radradras hearing, set down just before the new NRL season, was inconvenient.Ideally, the thing would have been wrapped up on Monday, Gurr said.Now that its been put back to February, were just going to deal with that - you deal with the cards youre played - we cant control anything else.Its not ideal, but I dont think its going to disrupt the teams preparation.Were merely going through this in steps.Step one was to get in consultation with his manager, to get Semi back in the country and then to fulfil his obligation to turn up in court today.Thats been done - the result is satisfactory at this stage ... now they can have plenty of time to prepare for the legal case in February.

According the Toronto Star, a knee injury will keep Sundin out of the lineup, which includes former teammates Gary Roberts, Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi and Curtis Joseph.Mark Hughes says Tottenhams need for three points at the Britannia Stadium on Monday should benefit his Stoke side. Spurs, who are attempting to catch Leicester at the top of the table, could be 10 points behind by the time they kick off in the Potteries, live on Sky Sports..Tottenham will feel they have to win every game. I think they are running out of games now, said Hughes. They will have to be positive and try to win it, and I think that helps us. We have talked on many occasions about going up against teams that have come to the Britannia Stadium and just tried to frustrate and get people behind the ball.That is when we have struggled to get the performances and results we have wanted at home. But teams that have come and backed their ability against us and had a real go at us for the most part have come unstuck. Tottenham will handle pressure, says Mark Hughes Weve beaten Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United at home this season. If Tottenham are not consistent in all aspects of the game, they may well leave space for us.They are an outstanding team with aa good work ethic and good individual talent.ddddddddddddAnd they will feel this is a huge opportunity for them and have a real go.But we seem to do well against teams that are positive against us, so hopefully that is the case on Monday. Stoke include Manchester United among their top scalps this season Hughes also believes pressure will play a part in the game but is convinced Tottenham will be able to cope as they enter uncharted territory near the top of the table with just five matches remaining.Pressure is something top teams have to deal with and come through the other side with positive results, added the Welshman. That is their challenge, but they deal with that on a weekly basis, a daily basis. So it is not something that should faze them as a club, team or individuals. Pressure does affect players in different ways, both collectively and individually, so we may be able to use that to our benefit as well. Also See: Stoke video Stoke fixtures Stoke stats ' ' '
