Trent Loiero, the Maroons debutant and Storm lock, is gearing up for his Origin debut at Suncorp Stadium next week, bringing with him valuable lessons learned from past experiences.
His last match at this venue ended in a heartbreaking golden point loss to the Raiders during Magic Round, where he committed two late penalties, including one right in front of the posts, which allowed Canberra to secure the win.
Despite that game being a setback, Loiero has been one of the Storm's top-performing forwards this season, thriving in his current position since transitioning from the edge to the middle at the start of last season.
As he prepares to contribute the necessary aggression to the pack in Game One, Loiero emphasizes the importance of learning from his mistakes, stating he is eager to take the field again with a renewed focus on improvement.
