Wallabies coach Les Kiss says Mark Nawaqanitawase’s NRL performances have been impressive and that praise for his league stint is justified. Sources report that Kiss views his form as a positive sign as the player prepares to return to rugby next month.
At the same time, Kiss says there is no guarantee he will be selected for the Wallabies upon his return. While acknowledging his impact in the NRL, the reports emphasize that selection depends on forthcoming considerations rather than past performances alone.
All three outlets frame the situation as a balance between recognition of Nawaqanitawase’s league success and the uncertainty that remains once he goes back to rugby. The shared message is that his NRL stint strengthens his case, but it does not remove the need to earn a place through selection processes and on-field performance ahead of upcoming rugby commitments.
