Doesn’t really matter. At the end of the day, it’s ability that counts. And he doesn’t have enough of it.

That is just incorrect.
Naden has natural ability in buckets? 🪣
Not mentally there though. He just does the dumbest things in between the glimpses good. 🤯

Edit: I can’t see him changing his brain anytime soon and needs to go asap.

If it true and it is just a mental thing, he’s had 10 years to work on it. I don’t see him suddenly overcoming it now. He’s 28 and only played 72 first grade games. There are certain players who have played 3 times that amount of games and are considered by some as reserve graders.

I agree with you on this.

He absolutely has ability he just comes across as taking the easy options with what he does & his brainsnaps are always costly which is why I never wanted him at the club.

Thats always been the issue. Most fans just see the flash and because we have struggled mixed with no other options they hope it will change.

He is 29 if he clicks now great but the odds are well against him.

Luai has the mindset that this club has been searching for.
He'll immortalize himself if we win a comp. Playing 2nd banana at Penrith was beneath him.

He wasn’t second fiddle there. He had a specific role to play based upon skill set and he mostly did it very well. As did they all, including Nathan.
 
Luai wasn't always a leader game manager so to speak......remember Penrith nearly always losing when Cleary was out 3 or 4 years ago.

But his leadership game has really improved over the last two years.

So you agree with he’s unlikely to change his brain anytime soon as I said? See my edit point.
But for you to say he’s has no natural ability is still not correct.
🤷‍♂️

Been plenty of players like him over the years. Loads of natural ability but can’t keep it together to make a decent career in the league. Owen Craigie and Daine Laurie are just two who come to mind, but there’s been plenty more I’m sure.
 
Just watched the BTR podcast with Luai. He was articulate, thoughtful and intelligent- if he performs half as well as he has carried himself during his first week at the club - he will be a fabulous recruit. I hope the rest buy in with him and the attitudes he wants to push. With him, May and Api, possibly Bird as well, we will have on field leadership that we have lacked for many years.
Exciting times ahead Tigers fans!!

It would be a brave player that defies him, just imagine the spray they would cop.

It would make the spray that Richo dished out to the players that were laughing about the flogging we were copping during spoon bowl pale into insignificance.
