Sydney Roosters' standout player Mark Nawaqanitawase is facing a "hard decision" regarding his future after the NRL finals, as a home Rugby World Cup offers a significant pull back to rugby union.
Though he was deemed ineligible for the NRL rookie of the year, the former Wallaby will conclude his first full season in the league as the top try-scorer, netting 23 tries in 22 matches.
His impressive performance has not only showcased his scoring ability but has also established him as a fan favorite, thanks to his remarkable skills in attack that have delivered some of the most memorable tries in recent times.
Currently, Nawaqanitawase is under contract with the Roosters until the end of next year, having strategically ensured his contract would expire before the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.
