Revamping the headlines on penrithpanthers.com.au, it's all about the comradery, the teamwork, and the blood, sweat, and tears of Rugby League.
Departing Panther Sunia Turuva opened up about the impact that Brian To'o, a true Samoan superstar, has had on him as they journeyed through the tough and gritty world of the modern game.
Turuva, once a timid rookie on Penrith's NRL squad back in 2022, found himself under the wing of To'o, a player who has redefined the role of wingers in today's Rugby League landscape.
Their bond grew so strong that Turuva was even a part of To'o's bridal party, showcasing the deep connection they shared on and off the field.
Known for his pranks and his cheeky demeanor, To'o wasted no time in taking Turuva under his wing, quite literally by becoming his carpool buddy to training sessions.
This friendship blossomed into a partnership that saw Turuva, aka 'Tito', solidify his place on the opposite wing, standing tall alongside his mentor.
From hard yards to wedding vows, the story of how Biz took Tito under his wing is a testament to the camaraderie and brotherhood that defines Rugby League, where legends are made and friendships are forged on the battlefield.
