The PNG Chiefs have landed another star signing with four-time premiership-winning Panthers winger Brian To’o signing a three-year deal to join the expansion franchise.
To’o will leave Penrith at the end of 2027 to join the Chiefs ahead of their first NRL campaign, linking with great mate and marquee half Jarome Luai, as well as ex-NSW Origin teammate Zac Lomax.
“Brian is an exceptional rugby league player, but this signing is about much more than football,” PNG Chiefs chief executive Lorna McPherson said.
“The PNG Chiefs will be a club proudly built in Papua New Guinea but with a strong Pacific identity. Across our region – family, culture, community, and rugby league are deeply connected, and Brian represents those values every time he takes the field.
“He is fiercely proud of his Samoan heritage, incredibly close to his family and understands what it means to represent something bigger than yourself. That is exactly the kind of person we want wearing the Chiefs jersey.”
