The thing with Sydney rugby teams is statistically they are in the same rarefied air as the NSW Breakers in cricket and Queensland women’s rugby league team, but without the fanfare.

NSW would like to continue this trend there is heavy expectations and Laman feels it will be a real dogfight.

She expects Queensland will turn up ready to play and on the back of a brilliant running display by Samantha Treherne.

Queensland came back from the dead against the Western Force to seal their spot and they’ll have the mindset of having nothing to lose in this final.

“It’s going to be tough, it’s going to be really tough," Laman said.

“We noticed against the Western Force they were down, but they just kept on coming at the advantage line.

“They kept going forward and it paid off because they scored more tries and points to win the game.

“We just have to be composed and be patient and follow our plays and structure”, she said.

Win, lose or draw and now is the perfect time for Laman to exit representative rugby but she won’t be far away from the action helping the next generation of rugby players come through.
