Olympian's tragic loss fuels NRL switch with Dragons
Nathan Lawson reckoned he had 80 family members and friends crammed into the grandstand at Jubilee Oval as the two-time Olympian made his NRL debut. But there was one person missing on Friday as the rugby sevens convert got his first taste of first grade action on the left wing in St George Illawarra's 20-6 win over Newcastle. Late last year, just before he was about to embark on one of his final sevens tour events - and weeks out from switching codes and landing at the Dragons - Lawson received the news that his mother, Karen, had died. "In December, we lost mum, that was hard, it was a week before I was meant to come down to Dragons," Lawson said. "So it meant a lot to me that all the boys and everyone at the club, who I didn't even know, went out of their way to support me. "For that to happen and for them to be so welcoming to me meant a lot. "She was my biggest supporter and would do anything to come watch me play. "She would travel across the world to watch me play so to be able to get a good win and make my debut, I'm sure she's up there very happy." To give an indication of Lawson's standing in the shortened format of rugby union, he was named Australia's sevens player of 2024 and was picked in the World Rugby team of the year. View this post on Instagram A post shared by St George Illawarra Dragons (@nrl_dragons) And while he has played for Australia at Olympics in Tokyo and Paris - and everywhere in between on the whistle-stop sevens circuit - he was a bag of nerves as he drove to Kogarah. "It was a long day for me thinking about every possibility of what could happen," Lawson said. "I was very happy to get out there and get my first carry under the belt. "The biggest thing for me is that I had all my friends and family there, I've played so many games across the world, and you don't get your family there." Lawson didn't even play league as a junior and has spent the first half of 2025 in NSW Cup. But he acquitted himself admirably when he stepped up into the NRL, making one eye-catching linebreak that had the Dragons fans out of their seats. He is likely to drop out of the Dragons' side for next week's clash with the Dolphins as winger Christian Tuipulotu nears a return to fitness from a hamstring injury. "I understand how competitive this sport is and we've got some unbelievable players at this club," Lawson added. "If that means I play (NSW) Cup for the rest of the year, I'm more than happy to do it." Meanwhile, the Dragons confirmed on Monday that back-rower Jaydn Su'A will miss this weekend's clash with the Dolphins with a low-grade ankle sprain.

What we know about the Boulder, Colorado attack
The FBI says an attack in Boulder, Colorado, that injured six people was a "targeted act of violence", and they are investigating it as an "act of terrorism". A group of people had gathered for a "regularly scheduled, weekly, peaceful event", which the BBC understands was organised by Run for Their Lives, an organisation that raises awareness for Israeli hostages still held in Gaza. The FBI said that, according to witnesses, a suspect threw an incendiary device into the group of people, and used a "makeshift flamethrower" to attack them. They said a suspect had been identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45. Soliman was taken to hospital shortly after the attack, the FBI said. Police said they were "fairly confident" that they had the lone suspect in custody. There was no evidence the suspect was connected to a wider group. "The suspect was heard to yell 'Free Palestine' during the attack," said special agent in charge of the Denver field office of the FBI, Mark Michalek. "We're assisting Boulder police and providing technical, analytic and additional forensic resources. As a result of these preliminary facts, it is clear that this is a targeted act of violence and the FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism," Michalek said. There are six victims, aged between 67 and 88. All of them have been taken to hospitals with burns and other injuries. The injuries range from "minor" to "very serious". At least one of the victims is seriously injured. Run for their Lives holds walking and running events around the world calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas, according to their website. It says its events are not protests, but "peaceful walks". Their website says there are currently 230 active groups around the world, with the majority in North America and Europe. The groups meet once a week for a 1km walk wearing red T-shirts. They also carry national flags of the citizens who are among the hostages still held in Gaza. The Run for their Lives Instagram account has more than 6,000 followers. Their Facebook group has more than 2,000 members. The movement was started by a group of Israelis in California, but local events are "independently led", according to their website. Authorities said they would not hold another press conference on Sunday. Police said their teams were still working in the area. The district attorney for Boulder County, Michael Dougherty, said: "We are fully united 100% in making sure the charges we bring hold the attacker fully accountable." The Boulder Courthouse will remain closed on Monday. US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has said her department is working with "interagency partners, including the FBI", and would share more information when it becomes available. "We are praying for the victims and their families. This violence must stop," she said. Israel's foreign minister, Gideon Sa'ar, released a statement saying he was "shocked" by the incident, which he called "pure antisemitism". The Jewish community in Boulder released a statement saying: "Our hearts go out to those who witnessed this horrible attack, and prayers for a speedy recovery to those who were injured," Boulder's Jewish Community said in a joint statement. "When events like this enter our own community, we are shaken." Six hurt in Colorado fire attack after suspect shouts 'free Palestine'
