Sheens takes on City role

Tim Sheens has been appointed coach of the City Origin side for this year's annual rugby league clash with Country Origin in Dubbo.

Wests Tigers mentor Sheens replaces North Queensland's Graham Murray at the helm of the City side after the Cowboys mentor was promoted to the role of NSW State of Origin coach late last year. It will be Sheens second stint in charge of City, having guided it to a 22-12 win over Country in 1991, the same year he led NSW to a 2-1 series loss to Queensland in the State of Origin series.
