This is confirmed. Pretty huge news as it is the first current Australian RU International player to switch codes for 2 decades: Rugby World Cup star Mark Nawaqanitawase has become the first incumbent Wallaby to defect to rugby league in two decades after signing with the Roosters on a two-year deal from 2025.
