The fact the team hasn't been announced is suggestion enough Sheens is attempting to shield players from attention.
Farah must be at hooker.
Rudolph with his ability to play more than one position well, kick goals and has genuine pace is an ideal interchange option.
I would also be disappointed if the two NYC wingers (if fit) aren't given a go tomorrow.
Sheens is an A grade moron.

Tim Sheens moves Robbie Farah to half to partner five-eighth Benji Marshall
Wests Tigers Head Coach Tim Sheens has moved hooker Robbie Farah to half-back for tomorrow?s crucial clash against South Sydney at ANZ Stadium.
Sheens revealed at the team?s final training session this morning that Benji Marshall will return to his regular five-eighth position to allow Farah to play half with Masada Iosefa starting at hooker.
Full-back Tim Moltzen remains in doubt after suffering a hamstring strain in the pre-game warm up in Townsville last Monday night. More will be known following the training session as to how Moltzen pulls up. The forward pack remains intact.
Sheens was pleased with the combination of Farah and Marshall in the halves and Iosefa at hooker in the second half in the loss to the Cowboys.
Despite losing centre Chris Lawrence, five-eighth Curtis Sironen and forward Ben Murdoch-Masila through injury from the Cowboys match, Sheens remains confident his players can rise to the challenge against the third placed Rabbitohs, saying the side can take strength from the heart breaking golden point loss in round 5.
?We had no Robbie Farah. Liam Fulton played 9 and Tommy Humble played 7. We were down on troops and we lost Gareth Ellis,?? Sheens said.
?Although they beat us with a last minute field goal in extra time, I think everybody knows on the day we led them by 12 points with 7 minutes to go, we should of won that game.
?We have got a lot of confidence from that. They had a full strength side in that day.
?I?m comfortable that our side is a better side. I know they are too, they are playing better football. They have got a couple of issues so we will be working hard to exploit them.?
Sheens says he is looking for better execution tomorrow after having enough opportunities last week to win the game despite the heavy injury toll.
?In the second half we blew an opportunity in the very first set. The ball bounced wrong,'' he said.
?We had a couple of strips one on one that really hurt us and we had a couple of shifts where the ball didn?t find the player.
?It?s always about execution in a game of football, in any sport.
?We are just working hard on those little things, keeping it simple with a new halves combination although Robbie and Benji have played plenty of football together in that configuration.
?Executing and defending, doing the hard things, kick and chase and defend hard, they are the little things you work on.?
