Brian To'o, star winger for the Penrith Panthers, has been cleared to play in the decider of the 2025 State of Origin series after being placed on report during a recent match against the Canterbury Bulldogs.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, To'o faced uncertainty while awaiting the Match Review Committee's (MRC) findings, but ultimately, he was not charged for a high tackle on Bronson Xerri.
Penrith captain Isaah Yeo commented on the incident, stating, "The contact was so hard it made it look like whiplash...
We wanted to challenge it after looking at the slo-mo.
There was obviously whiplash, but I thought it was more contact with the chest, not the head." Yeo also praised To'o's performance, saying, "The tougher the game is, the better he goes, and he showed that again tonight."
With this decision, To'o will be available to represent the NSW Blues in the crucial match, alleviating concerns about his participation amid high-stakes competition.
