Tuivasa-Sheck set for Titans scrutiny
let him run amok if they are to turn around a seven-year losing record to the Warriors at Robina and spark a run to the finals.
“Their fullback’s very quick and steps off both feet, they have big wingers and they rely on their outside backs and early carries,” Henry said.
“Sheck’s certainly a handful midfield against our big boys so it’s a big job for us.
“If you can land the ball on him and you can turn up at the same time, you can make the tackle straight away, so there’s a bit of timing involved there in the execution of the kick.
“But the rest of the time, I prefer to get down there in good numbers and cover the field against him. He’s certainly dangerous.”
The Titans will be hoping Jarryd Hayne can carry out the same role for them in his return to fullback, with Tyrone Roberts out with a shoulder injury.
Tuivasa-Sheck is not the only danger for the Titans though. Kieran Foran made his NRL return against the Titans in Round 5, scoring a try in the Warriors’ 22-12 win at Mt Smart.
“He’s a dangerous player,” Henry said.
“He’s at his best playing in front of the play the ball, flat and fast and he’s a strong carrier of the ball.
“It was his first game back last time against us and he sliced through for a try against us.
“He’s dangerous and he’s got a good kicking game as well so he’s certainly one to watch and you’ve got Shaun Johnson too who’s electric too and got good footwork. With their fullback and both their halves they certainly test you, so defensively we need to be better.”
The Titans defended well against the Cowboys last week but handed over too much possession through errors and conceding penalties and cannot afford the same again today.
“You need an even share of possession – even more than that – against this team,” Henry said.
“Their form has been up and down, ours has been the same. Both teams are desperate to stay in touch with the top eight.” BACK-UP Cronulla hooker Manaia Cherrington will join the Warriors after signing with the Auckland-based NRL club until the end of next season.
Cherrington, who toured England with the Kiwis in 2015 but did not play, joined the Sharks at the start of this season after 16 games in two seasons at the Wests Tigers.
He was yet to debut for Cronulla, stuck behind rookie hooker Jayden Brailey and pushed further down the pecking order after the arrival of livewire James Segeyaro.
The Warriors confirmed they had signed the 22-yearold to a second-tier contract.
