Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, the Titans captain, has expressed strong support for his teammate Moeaki Fotuaika, highlighting his value to the Queensland side ahead of Game Two.
Fa'asuamaleaui described Fotuaika as "underrated" and noted that he is eager for redemption following criticism aimed at the Queensland forward pack for their performance in Game One against the Blues.
Despite calls for coach Billy Slater to replace Fotuaika with Corey Horsburgh, Slater has maintained his trust in the current lineup.
Fa'asuamaleaui himself had a standout performance in Game One as one of the few Queensland forwards to achieve over 100 run metres, showcasing effective attacking abilities.
In contrast, Fotuaika struggled to deliver the expected impact but is now motivated to rectify his performance.
