Former Warriors fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is reportedly unhappy in rugby union and eyeing a return to the 13-man code with the Dolphins tipped to make a play for his services.
Wide World of Sports’ The Mole reported Tuivasa-Sheck wasn’t happy with his first season in rugby union with the Auckland Blues despite playing for the All Blacks.
Tuivasa-Sheck struggled to make the All Blacks starting team and when he did play he received very little opportunities to showcase his skills.

However, Tuivasa-Sheck is expected to give rugby union one more season given it is a World Cup year in 2023 with the carrot of representing the All Blacks at the game’s showpiece event.
The Warriors are unlikely to have room in their salary cap to accommodate the return of their former skipper.
However, the Dolphins are cashed up and are yet to land a marquee man, with the former Dally M Medal winner the perfect solution.
