Mariner primed for another super Sunday on sacred soil

Samoa center Deine Mariner is set to draw on his experience from the Brisbane Broncos' championship victory to lead his team to success in a crucial Pacific Championships match this Sunday.

Broncos coach Michael Maguire highlighted how his players harnessed the crowd's emotional energy during their finals campaign, a sentiment that the 22-year-old Mariner is eager to embrace as they prepare to face Tonga.

Additionally, Mariner is returning to the location of his pivotal preliminary final try against the Panthers and aspires to replicate that success this weekend.

The fervor of the Toa Samoa supporters will be undeniable, especially after over 5,000 fans gathered this week in Brisbane to cheer, wave flags, and sing during the team's fan day.
