Australian rugby has lost another star to the NRL, with men’s Sevens player of the year Nathan Lawson switching to St George Illawarra Dragons on a two-year deal.

Just 10 days ago Lawson was honoured at the John Eales Medal awards dinner as the top male Sevens player in the country, but now he’ll compete for a backline spot at the Dragons alongside Valentine Holmes and Clint Gutherson.

It’s understood the Dragons have signed Lawson with a view to playing him as a winger.

The 25-year-old is a two-time Olympian at Paris and Tokyo, and this will be a major gamble given he’s spent his life playing union, including in the Shute Shield with Southern Districts.

Lawson joins Mark Nawaqanitawase (Roosters) and Carter Gordon (Gold Coast) as union stars who have switched to league in the past year.

Very good signing.

 

[Slippery Morris]

For it to be in the papers and the Aust Union to react, he must be pretty good. If he provides the same output as Lomax then it is all we need.
