Then he went to Japan (NEC Green Rockets) and went well (against lesser opposition), earning a move to the Crusaders, and then Montpellier and Leicester where his second stint in Europe was marked with increasingly poor returns (he was 30+ by this time) and finally a move back to the Waratahs which went less well than his time with us.
IIRC, Nadolo only played twice for Perth Spirit. He didn't really go looking for work off the wing, and so barely touched the ball. Scored one try, dropped easy passes a couple of times, and then tore his hamstring(?) when going clear for a second try. Given this, is it that surprising that the Force (coached by John Mitchell and containing Drew Mitchell, Cam Shepherd, Scott Staniforth, Nick Cummins, Haig Sare and DHP) didn't sign a lazy, uninterested and injury-prone back-up winger.
