The Warriors are in for a nervous wait as club legend Roger Tuivasa-Sheck goes for scans on a knee injury in his final season at the NRL side.<\/p>\n

Tuivasa-Sheck pulled up sore from a tackle on Hayden Buchanan against last-placed St George Illawarra on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The veteran outside back left the field 11 minutes into his first game back from a minor shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

Tuivasa-Sheck was seen in a knee brace after the Warriors’ 30-12 win, but said he felt optimistic about his chances of facing ladder-leading Penrith in next Sunday’s blockbuster.<\/p>\n

He was able to walk independently to the Warriors’ team bus at Jubilee Stadium, but this would not necessarily preclude a serious knee injury.<\/p>\n

Warriors teammate Tanah Boyd was similarly mobile after suffering a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament rupture in round 11.<\/p>\n

An ACL injury would mean 32-year-old Tuivasa-Sheck has likely played his last NRL game – the only man to win the Dally M Medal playing for the Warriors will leave at season’s end for English side Wakefield Trinity.<\/p>\n

Immediately after full-time, Warriors coach Andrew Webster said he did not yet know if the injury was an ACL rupture.<\/p>\n

“It’s just funny with those injuries, I wish we had a scan machine at every ground and then we could walk in here and give you guys feedback straight away, and we’d have clarity,” he said.<\/p>\n

“But until we get that, we’ll just wait and see.”<\/p>\n

Adam Pompey looms as Tuivasa-Sheck’s likeliest replacement for the clash against the Panthers if he needs to miss time.<\/p>\n

Webster had mixed feedback for the Warriors after Saturday’s game, which featured try-scoring doubles for Te Maire Martin, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Alofiana Khan-Pereira, but 15 errors from the visitors.<\/p>\n

“Some of our best stuff, and some of our not-so-good stuff,” Webster said.<\/p>\n

“There were big momentum swings tonight from us, but I thought we were really brave on our tryline for long periods.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I thought we were really dominant when we hung on to the ball for long enough, the way we carried, and I think we created opportunities on their tryline that were just off momentum.”<\/p>\n
