Legendary rugby league coach Tim Sheens is set to return to the NRL with Wests Tigers in the coming weeks, 25 years after he departed the Canberra Raiders.
Having spent the past four years in England coaching Hull KR and then Widnes Vikings, the 70-year-old will take up a role at the Tigers in player recruitment, retention, pathways and junior development.
It’s hard to believe it’s a quarter of a century since super coach Sheens left the national capital for the North Queensland Cowboys, but his legacy of success is as enduring now as the day he walked out the door of Raiders HQ.
