BREAKING NEWS: Roosters Stunned by Shock Mark Nawaqanitawase Announcement

Fans were expecting news of contract extensions or preseason lineups, but instead were blindsided when the Roosters confirmed that the electric outside back would be stepping away from the wing and into a groundbreaking off-field role rarely seen in the modern game.
According to club officials, the decision was made after Nawaqanitawase reportedly presented a 47-page tactical dossier titled “Speed Is a Mindset” during a routine team meeting. The presentation allegedly featured complex diagrams, drone footage of training runs, and a bold proposal to replace traditional kick returns with what he described as “controlled chaos.”
“Mark has a unique vision for the game,” Roosters CEO Trent Robinson said in a hastily arranged press conference. “While some players study game tape, Mark studies the future.”
The announcement sent shockwaves through the Roosters fanbase, with social media exploding within minutes. Some supporters praised the club’s “forward-thinking courage,” while others questioned whether losing one of the team’s most dangerous finishers was a risk too far.
Current players were equally stunned. One teammate, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “He walked into training today wearing glasses and carrying three whiteboards. None of us knew what was happening.”
Despite the backlash, Nawaqanitawase appeared unfazed, stating only that he was “ready to change the way rugby league is understood.”
Whether this bold experiment will usher in a new era of success—or go down as one of the most baffling decisions in club history—remains to be seen.
