How does everyone write their NAT rules?

I have a design with clustered checkpoint on nokia (using vrrp).
Multiple subnets being routed through the core. 

I thought you could make nat rule like this

Original packets
Internal subnets object (includes all internal subnets) - any
destination - any service

Translated Packets
Checkpoint cluster gateway object (hide) - any destination - any
service.

But for some reason this rule doesn't work. I see the packets being
accepted in the smartview tracker, but no translation.

Temporarily, I have created a host object with the external ip of the
firewall and that seems to work ok.

But I have been told by different sources that I should have written a
nat rule for each subnet. 

Why does the rule not work in the above example?
