In a jaw-dropping turn of events, the Sydney Roosters community has been left stunned and deeply disappointed following the sensational decision by star winger Mark Nawaqanitawase to part ways with the club. The announcement has sent shockwaves not only through the Roosters organisation but across the entire National Rugby League (NRL) landscape.

After weeks of speculation behind closed doors, the Roosters have officially accepted Nawaqanitawase’s resignation, marking the end of a chapter that many fans believed would last for years. Known for his explosive speed, aerial dominance, and relentless work ethic, the winger quickly became one of the most exciting talents in the competition and a fan favourite in red, white, and blue.

In a bold and unexpected move, Nawaqanitawase has signed with the Manly Sea Eagles on a blockbuster deal reportedly worth $85 million, a figure that reflects his rising value and the enormous belief Manly has placed in his ability to transform their backline.

Speaking on his decision, Nawaqanitawase reportedly cited the desire for a new challenge, long-term career growth, and the opportunity to take on a fresh leadership role as key factors behind the move. While acknowledging how difficult it was to leave the Roosters, he expressed gratitude to the club, teammates, and supporters who backed him throughout his journey.

For the Roosters, the loss represents a significant blow as they now face the task of reshaping their squad and filling the void left by one of their most dynamic attacking weapons. For Manly, however, this signing signals intent — a statement that they are ready to push hard for premiership contention.
