Mark Nawaqanitawase

[Andrew Walker]

Has a touch of class about him with a very silky skill set

[Vasco]

Would make a great fullback.

[Inflictor]

Always thought he was a Group 1 athlete and improves each time he takes the field.
Never doubted he would make a permanent position in our side. He is just quality in whatever he takes on. Very marketable too. Seems to show up plenty on my social media.
I just hope he hangs around after his two year contract. He could be anything by then especially with the team we should have.
And he is half Italian to top it off.

[B2B]

Two words - Super impressive

Also is showing a lot more promise and potential than JAS .

[MKCS]

Agree that he's been great for us in every game this year, not sure he's Origin ready yet especially with Trbojevic, Latrell, Crichton etc but definitely better than expected.

[Roosterfarian]

The Roosters have some sway in those rep teams. Also, our players seem to be favoured highly by selectors as they know the how professional they all are.

I'm with Piper. I reckon he is a strong contender for a wing position if his form continues and we are winning games. He is..dare I say it..."built for Origin".

[Rooster_6]

I expected him to handle the physical requirement of an NRL Centre, he's a supreme athlete. But I didn't expect him to be so creative, his ability to offload and pass in traffic so easily only a few games into his NRL career surely must give the wider game pause and wonder if we are missing a step when developing our younger talent.

Less wrestling sessions, more skills based sessions please. It's a joy to watch.

So true
so much today is about athletes, wrestling and not giving an inch away - bigger / stronger and set plays
but guys playing natural footy and knowing when and how to put someone in space is nice to see - natural instinct
manu Was naturally gifted had all the talent just sometimes lacked the commitment and tougher side
Suaali pushed the physical side well but lacked the skillset which was Maybe a few years away
Marky N has both the physical side and the finesse to round it out

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

He looks like a very special player - am looking forward to watching his development as the season progresses

He does indeed.

[Easts75]

That quick long pass from Sandon was special..

It hasn't been mentioned and I'm not a fan of his but Townsend's cut out pass to Mark who hit Teddy looping around was high class. It had to be perfect for that play to work

[nayfo]

I knew he’d be a hit straight away. So happy he chose to play for the Chooks

[BondiBob]

looking good and you'd figure he'll only get better

Looks as though a really good combo with Toops they will get better and better as the season goes on - have to be a great target for attacking kicks

[Bates]

I don't get why RU let him him go and then recruit and pay overs for J.Suaalii.

Marky Mark $450k a year
J. Suaalii $1.6 million a year.

Staggering difference in salaries and you could argue that Marky Mark is the better player.

[Bates]

Did Andrew Johns call him Marky Mark the other night?
