Roger Tuivasa-Sheck delivered a strong performance at centre for the New Zealand Warriors in their final pre-season trial against the Gold Coast Titans on February 15, 2026. The former Dally M Medalist, who returned to rugby league in 2024 after a stint in rugby union, looked comfortable in the midfield and was a constant attacking threat.
Official statistics from the match, held at Mt Smart Stadium, credited Tuivasa-Sheck with two try assists and four tackle breaks. His performance in the 26-12 victory has intensified competition for backline spots ahead of the NRL season opener.
Warriors coach Andrew Webster now faces difficult selection decisions, particularly with centre Adam Pompey due to return from suspension. Tuivasa-Sheck's display suggests he is a leading contender for a permanent centre role, moving from the wing position he occupied at times last season.
