And Sheens is confident the acquisition of dual international Lote Tuqiri will have a similar effect on his side, which will again look to the organising and creative skills of Robbie Farah and Benji Marshall.

"He is obviously a great talent, but he hasn't played in the NRL for eight years so we can't expect him to be up to speed immediately," Sheens said.
>
"But I am looking forward to working with him and he will be a huge asset to us."
>
Sheens hinted Tuqiri could play at fullback and admitted he is reluctant to blood exciting young halfback Robert Lui too soon, despite playing the 20-year-old in three of the last four games of last season.
>
"He is a fabulous talent, who is as exciting as anyone I have seen with ball in hand, but we have to be careful not to give him too much too soon," he said.
>
"Young (Daniel) Mortimer at Parramatta did very well last season, but Daniel Anderson did not start him until midway through the season and that was probably the right thing to do.
>
"Moltzen did very well at halfback alongside Benj (Benji Marshall) last year so we do have options with Lote, <big>Shannon Gallant</bigand also Mitch Brown who has joined us from Cronulla and impressed.
it is a worry ... :laughing:
