Simaima Taufa, the prop for the Westpac NSW Blues, is poised to step into the spotlight as the team aims to reclaim the State of Origin Shield against the Maroons at Allianz Stadium on Thursday night.
Despite being considered a critical player in the NSW setup, Taufa has traditionally preferred to work away from the limelight.
After missing last year's series due to a shoulder injury, she made a significant impact in Game One this month, helping set the tone for the Blues' commanding victory.
As NSW seeks to win the Shield for the first time since 2022, Taufa is ready to lead the forward pack in their quest for dominance.
