Roger Tuivasa‑Sheck

The former One New Zealand Warriors captain signed to rejoin the club in May last year when he inked a three-year contract to the end of the 2026 NRL season.

The Warriors granted Tuivasa-Sheck’s request for an early release to switch to rugby union late in the 2021 season but the club was delighted to announce his return to rugby league for a second term with his hometown club.

At the time One New Zealand Warriors CEO Cameron George said: “It’s hugely exciting knowing Roger is coming back to us, back to his home at Go Media Stadium. When he went to rugby union he did so knowing he was always welcome back here if he wished to return to rugby league. We couldn’t be more delighted it’s happening. He’s popular with the players and a real fan favourite. It’s going to be so good seeing him back in our jersey.”

When Tuivasa-Sheck switched to rugby union he had made 111 appearances for the Warriors from 2016-2021 with his career tally standing at 195 games. He had also played 20 Tests for the Kiwis.

In 2021 Tuivasa-Sheck became only the second player after Simon Mannering to lead the One New Zealand Warriors in 100 matches.

He was the first Warriors player to win the coveted Dally M Medal in 2018 and he
was honoured with the top international player award – the Golden Boot – in
2019.

He is the only player to win the One New Zealand Warriors’ player of the year
accolade in three consecutive seasons (2017, 2018 and 2019).

Tuivasa-Sheck’s switch to rugby union saw him make his Test debut for the All
Blacks in 2022 before adding two more appearances.
