New Warriors captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck will follow the example of two of the game's quiet achievers as he takes on the club's leadership duties for the upcoming NRL season. Replacing former skipper and back-rower Ryan Hoffman, Tuivasa-Sheck will enjoy the support and experience of senior Warriors players to help him adjust to the new role. The 23-year-old fullback insists he won't be found ranting and raving at teammates and wants his on-field deeds to inspire those around him. Tuivasa-Sheck's outstanding work ethic and dedication made him a front-runner for the job in the eyes of Warriors coach Stephen Kearney.
