The Sydney Morning Herald first reported Roosters boss Trent Robinson will meet with Nawaqanitawase next week in a potential revenge mission for Suaalii's defection to Rugby Australia.
Nawaqanitawase was one of the Wallabies' best and brightest stars over the last two seasons and was a starter in their failed 2023 World Cup campaign.
However, he heads into 2024 on the final year of his contract with Rugby Australia and has been non-commital when previously asked about his future.
This move by the Roosters has caused a storm of controversy within the rugby community, with many expressing their outrage at the NRL club's attempt to poach another talented Wallabies player.
With the recent defection of Joseph Suaalii, it seems that the Roosters are making a concerted effort to lure top rugby union talent to the NRL.
This potential raid has reignited the ongoing battle between rugby league and rugby union for talent, stirring up emotions and tensions within the Australian sporting landscape.
The rugby world is eagerly awaiting Nawaqanitawase's decision and the outcome of the Roosters' pursuit of the Wallabies winger.
