Leading his team out for the first time this year, UQ captain Sam Wallis is not afraid to do it his way.

The 22-year-old back-rower, who has risen up through UQ Colts to Premier grade, is no stranger to confidence and will be leading the reining Premiers from the frontline on and off the field.

“I guess my approach to it is I’m going to do it my own way.

“I’m sure that’s why I’ve been put in that position as captain, to do it my way.

“I lead more through actions rather than words.

“Obviously if something needs to be said, I’m in there, but I’d say my leadership is more on the field, on the frontline.”
