In the lead-up to the deciding game, Queensland's prop Tino Fa'asuamaleaui has expressed his commitment to maintaining composure despite being heavily targeted by New South Wales during Game Two.
Recognized as a key leader for the Maroons due to his role as club captain and his formidable presence on the field, Fa'asuamaleaui experienced frustration during the previous match, where New South Wales tactically provoked him into making mistakes, particularly by players like Liam Martin.
He noted that responding with aggression is not the way to go, especially after Queensland's 18-6 defeat in the series opener, where ill-discipline played a significant role in their loss.
Fa'asuamaleaui firmly believes that keeping emotions in check will be crucial as Queensland aims to overturn the odds in the final match.
This self-control is essential not only for his performance but also for setting an example within the team as they prepare to face their rivals once more.
