In a recent article by roosters.com.au, it has been reported that Watson has won the Indigenous Leadership & Excellence Award.
The award was announced as part of the NRL's Wellbeing & Education Awards, which aim to acknowledge and celebrate the dedication and commitment of NRL and NRLW players both on and off the field.
The Indigenous Leadership & Excellence award specifically recognizes the efforts of current NRL and NRLW Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders players who are not only excelling in their sport but also making a positive impact in their communities.
To be eligible for the award, recipients must demonstrate their involvement and engagement in leadership, career and education development, as well as cultural engagement.
Watson's win is a testament to his outstanding contributions both on and off the field, and he is a shining example of the positive influence that rugby league players can have within their communities.
