I really hope Nado can still get himself another contract post Tigers whether in the NRL or UK as he has a young family & I’m not sure what other areas he could venture into. He showed in Cup he still has the talent. I think he could really be a handy outside back in the UK but doubt he’d want to uproot his family and leave Aus’. 

The guy is full of talent, I really like what he brings to a team. the mental lapses just let him down too often.

Yes, in the NRL a problem but not so much in the Super League. I think he’d be a very handy pick up for a team over there & he could play another 4 or 5 years. If he was to pick up something here after the Tigers it’d be as a squad player for a year or two.

I don't see him going to the UK

I find it really hard to dismiss Naden. I see glimpses of excellence but sadly it's broken up by moments of madness

But I agree re coaching. I look forward to the day when our culture, our coaching, our systems can bring out the best in our players rather than relying solely on a saviour to come in and drag everyone out of mediocrity.

Naden needs a culture of excellence around him. We don't provide that yet. But that doesn't excuse him of responsibility. Just makes it harder

Great comment. Do you think, while "we don't provide that yet", that it can happen (soon, would be nice) with Marshall and co? How likely is that?

 

I say this on the pod all the time - it's not down to one thing, it's a combination imo. Benji can't change the culture on his own, neither can Luai. The whole club needs to shift. Benji says the right things but I'm not sure he has the experience to orchestrate the changes required - but I don't know the bloke so really can't say with any confidence. What i do know though is standards are poor across the organisation. They are making changes but need to work together if the changes are to take effect.

I think we don’t realise how big a job that is & how long it will take. It certainly wasn’t going to happen in the space of 12 months once Richo was appointed. But we all want change quickly so it’s difficult to be patient.
