The Titans website has announced that Tino Fa'asuamaleaui is ready to conquer his nerves as he makes his long-awaited return to the field after overcoming an ACL injury.
The imposing forward, known as Big Tino, will be lacing up his boots for the first time since his injury, ready to face off against his Maroons State of Origin teammate Tom Gilbert, who is also returning from a similar injury as the Dolphins take on the Titans in a crucial round of Pre-Season Challenge matches.
For Fa'asuamaleaui, battling nerves has been a common theme in his journey back to fitness, with butterflies making an appearance even during his first full training session back with the team.
However, he is determined to shake off any hesitation and hit the ground running as he aims to make a strong impact in the upcoming game.
Despite his absence, Fa'asuamaleaui has been impressed with the progress his teammates have made in his stead, believing that the team has the potential to put in a strong performance this year.
With players stepping up in his absence and gaining valuable experience, Fa'asuamaleaui is confident that the team can overcome any challenges thrown their way.
As they look to bounce back from a heavy defeat to the Broncos, the Titans will be looking to set the tone for the season ahead with a strong showing in the upcoming match.
With Fa'asuamaleaui back in the lineup, the team will be hoping to turn their fortunes around and start the season on a positive note, ready to take on all comers with strength and determination.
