Mark Nawaqanitawase, the standout player from the Sydney Roosters, faced disappointment after a mid-season rule change removed him from the Rookie of the Year race. However, he has redirected his focus towards new ambitions.
This season, he has been a dynamic presence in the Roosters' backline, consistently causing trouble for rival defenses whenever he has possession of the ball.
As we approach the critical stages of 2025, it has come to light that Nawaqanitawase has set two ambitious goals for himself, both appearing attainable. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, he aims to secure a spot in the Roosters' finals and earn his first appearance for the Kangaroos.
In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Kangaroos coach Kevin Walters expressed optimism regarding Nawaqanitawase's aspirations. "He would be [in contention to debut], certainly," Walters shared.
