Dragons Welcome Another Rugby Sevens Star
The Dragons’ acquisition of Nathan Lawson reflects a strategic move to bolster their squad with dynamic talent as the club builds for future success. Lawson’s background as a power runner in rugby union and his decorated Sevens career make him a versatile and high-potential addition to the Dragons’ lineup.
With experience on the global stage, Lawson has proven his mettle in high-pressure scenarios, representing Australia at premier events like the Olympics and the Rugby Sevens World Cup. His accolades, including the World Rugby Sevens Team of the Year selection, highlight his ability to perform against the world’s best.
His transition to rugby league aligns with a growing trend of Sevens stars excelling in the NRL. Notable examples like Will Warbrick and Moses Leo have shown that players with Lawson’s profile can adapt quickly to the physicality and pace of the league. This trend underlines rugby league’s appeal as a platform for global rugby talent to thrive.
Coach Shane Flanagan’s endorsement of Lawson as a “big, fast, powerful winger” emphasizes the club’s belief in his potential to make an impact. Lawson’s competition for a spot among the club’s existing talent—like Sloan, Tuipulotu, and Feagai—indicates the Dragons’ growing depth in the backline.
Lawson’s move also raises questions about Rugby Australia’s retention of top talent, as he joins a list of players who have opted to pursue opportunities in rugby league. For the Dragons, however, his arrival represents a fresh injection of talent, athleticism, and international experience, positioning the team for a stronger 2025 campaign.
Fans will eagerly await Lawson’s rugby league debut, as he represents not just the Dragons’ ambitions but also the ongoing evolution of cross-code talent in Australian sport.
