I’m not so sure if Nathan is a little selfish myself.
His father was unceremoniously SACKED!!!
Does he not remember that Penrith has been very disrespectful to his father and family.
Wouldn’t it make sense for him to give his family and his Dad a fresh start at a new club, obviously his father was contemplating going to Penrith to appease his son as he has been there a long time. After everything a father has done to make his son always happy, wouldn’t it make sense for Nathan to do something for his dad ? If Nathan is so mature, why not stand up for your family and their dignity & start fresh, leave everything behind. Real young Men, make a name for themselves by sticking up for their family. Everybody looks at you different when you stand up for what’s most important to you in life…... your family!
Maybe Nathan is old enough and mature enough to move beyond just being his father's son. Maybe he enjoys playing at Penrith. He might have close mates there, he might love the cultures the facilities. Or maybe the place just feels like home for him.
I suppose we all hold different values in life.
All I know…is that if I saw my father quivering and feeling very emotional as he did making that statement at Campbelltown I would have seriously felt like crying watching him endure that. You could see the hurt he was feeling. Sometimes in life...it’s time to move on, it’s not always about your buddies.
Because when Nathan retires his mates will move on BUT family is always there for him.
