Roosters winger Mark Nawaqanitawase was involved in a movie-watching routine on Sunday night when he received a call from the NSW coaching staff. According to reports from multiple outlets, he was “locked in” to a Robert De Niro film when the Blues coach contacted him to inform him he had been selected for the NSW side. The articles describe the moment as a sudden shift from leisure to representative football, with Nawaqanitawase moving from watching the De Niro movie to preparing to play for NSW. The coverage is consistent across outlets, focusing on the timing of the call, the coach’s message about selection, and the contrast between his entertainment and the call-up. The reports do not add conflicting details about the selection itself, the recipient of the call, or the general sequence of events.
