In a moment that has sent waves of excitement across the rugby league world, Canberra Raiders head coach Ricky Stuart has officially confirmed that legendary rugby league figure Tim Sheens will be returning to the organisation. However, this time his role will be different — not as a head coach, but as the club’s new Senior Chief Advisor, bringing decades of experience back to the Raiders family.

The announcement has sparked huge celebration among Raiders supporters and the wider National Rugby League community. Sheens is widely respected for his tactical brilliance and leadership, having played a crucial role in shaping modern rugby league coaching. His return is expected to strengthen the club’s long-term strategy, mentoring coaching staff and helping guide the next generation of players.

Speaking about the return, Stuart described it as a massive boost for the club, saying that Sheens’ knowledge, passion, and history with the Raiders will be invaluable moving forward. Fans are already calling it a “homecoming,” believing his presence could help push Canberra back toward premiership contention in the coming seasons.
