It may be a bye week for the New Zealand Warriors but skipper Roger Tuivasa-Sheck won't have time to rest.
The fullback and fiancée Ashley Walker have announced the birth of a baby girl.
Tuivasa-Sheck took to Instagram on Friday night to thank his followers for their support.
"Support has been unreal, thank you's!” he posted. “Ash & bub doing really well & damn Respect to all you Mother's out there."
Tuivasa-Sheck stayed by his partner’s side two weeks ago, while his teammates travelled to Sydney to take on the Parramatta Eels, but he did take his place in a losing effort against South Sydney last weekend in Auckland.
Shaun Johnson, Israel Dagg and Monty Betham are among other professional athletes to have congratulated the 24-year-old.
The Warriors head to Christchurch next Saturday to take on Manly.
