Was RTS doomed from the beginning? 😩 Why a string of stumbling blocks ultimately killed the league star's hopes in union. 👇 9WWOS NRL SuperRugbyPacific
Tuivasa-Sheck fronted the media on Friday at Blues headquarters for the first time since his decision to return to the club he has made 111 appearances for was announced, and was a model of professionalism throughout, studiously dancing around most questions to do with the 13-man code out of respect for the situation he remains in for the remainder of this year.
"I'm excited to go back and play some league, but for now I'm pumped for the season we have in front of us with the Blues and looking forward to making a push for the playoffs." "There's definitely a dream there," he said. "But before I get to that I need to get myself back on the Blues park and that's by preparing well here and making the team.
"So far I've been pretty happy with how I've been in rugby," he responded. "With the time I've had I'm stoked I get to represent my two home-town clubs, the Blues and Warriors. I'm real proud I got to do that and also that I got to fulfil a childhood dream which was to wear the black jersey. So, I'm pretty happy with that.
"It wasn't frustrating – it was exciting, it was a challenge," he replied. "I'm going up against your David Havilis, your Jordie Barretts, your Rieko Ioanes ... those are superstars. I was lucky to rub shoulders with them. I want to continue that. Athletes enjoy that challenge of competing against the best."
