He had a slow start to the 1993 NSWRL season, but against Cronulla in the fifth round Nadruku became a sensation with his compact build providing tremendous speed and power, and scored two tries, setting up several others.

Though he received criticism for suspect under the high ball in early finals games against North Sydney and Canterbury-Bankstown, Nadruku was one of Canberra's best in their 36-12 win over Canterbury in the Grand Final, scoring a try, making several powerful runs, and involving himself throughout.

By the end of the year Nadruku had scored a club record 22 tries in just twenty games - being the first player to score more than one try per game in a full season since Larry Corowa had scored 24 tries in 22 games for Balmain in 1978.
