Stephen Kearney won't shift Tuivasa-Sheck to the halves - 'He's the Dally M fullback'

December 10, 2018

The Warriors captain had been considered an option to replace Shaun Johnson.

As Stephen Kearney mulls what possible options are available to replace star halfback Shaun Johnson, the Warriors coach has assured he won't move skipper Roger Tuivasa-Sheck from his preferred position of fullback.

As Johnson last week completed his move to the Cronulla Sharks, speculation has been rife as to who the Warriors intend on playing in the number seven jersey when the 2019 season begins.

Speaking to media today though, Kearney was adamant that Tuivasa-Sheck won't be used as a makeshift at halfback or five-eighth.

"He does a pretty good job - he's the Dally M fullback," Kearney began.

"Dally M fullback of the year and Dally M player of the year, so he'll be staying at fullback."

Kearney also drew a line through another proposed option, saying that the versatile Peta Hiku won't be moved to five-eighth.
