    It appears Australian oval ball code flyer Mark Nawaqanitawase is heading back to rugby union

    It appears Australian oval ball code flyer Mark Nawaqanitawase is heading back to rugby union


    The Sydney Morning Herald are reporting the 24-year-old will leave the Roosters league side after the upcoming NRL season and join a division one Japanese rugby team on a two-year deal worth more than two million dollars.

    The dual-code international produced a strong debut NRL season in 2025 - making the move to the 13-man game after collecting 11 caps for the Wallabies between 2022 and 2024.

    It's believed the Roosters are open to a return for Nawaqanitawase after his rugby deal in Japan ends.
