If Naden isn't willing to work hard for his spot in training or NSW Cup he doesn't deserve it. That's not the attitude our team needs. He f**ked up massively and the least he could do is bust his ass to make it right.
If you start listening to players interviewed and I mean really interviewed not post game questions you start to hear the same old answers.Rob had a big offseason, went back early with 20s voluntarily, he likely has improved being in our system.
I don’t think it’s the case but there is no excuse for anyone not putting in 100 percent just because they are down the pecking order, if he’s not putting in 100 he’s never going to get picked.
Stuff like I just needed someone to believe in me. X assistant coach believing in me really took my game to another level. SJ with John Morris said. Players say this about Wayne Bennet all the time. Ben Barba said this about Flano Snr or something like it.
It's hard to believe in yourself and play with belief when the coach is off you. Especially for a guy like Naden who's the type of who guy needs a cuddle and some kind words more than a cold shoulder. That was just my theory but if it's true it's better for all parties if he leaves as soon if we find someone we can trade him for. To consistently succeed you have to go out on the footy field with playing with the attitude I'm willing to die for my brothers, for all the coaches that have put their faith in me. Things like money or being professional athletes and earning their pay checks or whatever fans complain about don't compare to that connection, that bond between each other.
As soon as the connection with each other is broken it's best to move on.
