Warriors captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck looks set for a change of roles going forward after coach Nathan Brown suggested Reece Walsh will retain the fullback jersey.

The move would see Tuivasa-Sheck split his time on the wing and five-eighth.

Walsh played fullback against Melbourne on Sunday night in a baptism of fire after he joined the Warriors just a fortnight ago from the Broncos.

Walsh was a standout for the Warriors in the loss to the reigning premiers as he played a significant helping hand in attack.

The move was a shock to outsiders but Brown has said that he was happy with the results and believes it could benefit the club going forward.

โ€œHave we got it perfect at the moment? Probably not, but weโ€™ve got to work out a way to get our best players playing and initially, that looks like to us that itโ€™s not a bad way,โ€ Brown said, per Stuff.co.nz.

โ€œWhere Reece is at physically will play a part, but when you look at the second half of the game and when we got some defensive things right and started to use the ball a bit, weโ€™ve certainly got the makings of a football team in there.

โ€œNot making any excuses, but we had a lot of good players not playing today and we played one of the teams thatโ€™s going to be there at the end of the year.

โ€œA lot of sides would bring their best 17 here and go away losers. Melbourne will win 10 or 11 home games this year if they stay fit.

โ€œSo I thought it was a good time to play some of our young kids. Our left edge struggled a bit in the first half and Kodi (Nikorima) is probably the only experienced player out there and he probably needed to do a little better and Rocco Berry has only played five or six rugby league games in his life.

โ€œBut it was a great experience for him and they should learn a lot from it.โ€

Tuivasa-Sheck played different roles in offence and defence with him positioning himself on the wing in defence and then coming into five-eighth when the Warriors had the ball.

Brown believes that Tuivasa-Sheck can have a great impact in those positions given his renowned capabilities as a two-way player.

โ€œHe did the kick returns, which he does so well, so he played a similar style of footy to what heโ€™s been playing anyway.

โ€œThen we saw Roger in the second half have a lot of good, quality touches of the ball, where he created some half breaks and line breaks himself.

โ€œWe could see Reeceโ€™s talent there today, heโ€™s obviously a very talented kid and heโ€™s got speed."
