Tough to accept, but the season goes on. We got something special going. Big love for all the messages.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The confirmation of the injury means Tuivasa-Sheck&#8217;s long NRL career is over. It is not known whether the 32-year-old requires surgery or whether the injury will affect his new contract with English Super League club Wakefield Trinity. It is the second left knee ACL injury of his career. <\/p>\n<p>Tuivasa-Sheck is the second Warriors player to suffer a season-ending ACL injury after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1news.co.nz\/2026\/05\/22\/warriors-hold-on-to-breakout-star-tanah-boyd-for-another-three-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tanah Boyd<\/a> did his against the Broncos.<\/p>\n<p>Tuivasa-Sheck, a former Warriors captain, played 242 NRL games &#8211; 84 for the Roosters and 158 for the Warriors (across two stints).<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors are second on the table with nine wins in 11 matches. Adam Pompey is Tuivasa-Sheck&#8217;s likeliest replacement for the clash against the No.1-ranked Panthers in Sydney on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury suffered in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445754,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39,3006],"class_list":["post-445753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-warriors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445753\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
