Kiwi coup: Roosters snap up star junior
October 27, 2011 - 11:15AM
The Sydney Roosters have pulled off a recruitment coup, snaring in-demand New Zealand schoolboy Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
Hot on the heels of the club signing 22-year-old Parramatta five-eighth Daniel Mortimer, the Roosters snuck under the guard of rivals to grab the highly rated 18-year-old fullback/winger.
Tuivasa-Sheck has starred in both rugby codes at schoolboy level and recently represented New Zealand's national schoolboy rugby union team against the Australian schoolboys.

Roosters recruitment officer Peter O'Sullivan was pleased Tuivasa-Sheck, who has signed a two-year deal, shunned offers from rival NRL and Super Rugby sides to link with the Bondi-based club.
"It's very exciting for the NRL and rugby league that Roger has decided to pursue a career in our game, as he has a great passion for rugby league," O'Sullivan said.
"Roger possesses brilliant footwork and speed and with the interest in him from other NRL clubs and the Auckland Blues, this is a real coup for the Roosters."

Blues under-18 rugby representative Roger Sheck's the one they're all here to see.
The Warriors and half a dozen other clubs are keeping tabs on the Otahuhu fullback and it's not hard to see why.
Sheck lived up to his reputation in the final, guiding Otahuhu to victory in golden point extra time.
Perhaps the search for the next Benji Marshall is over.
