The PNG Chiefs made a bold announcement on Monday, revealing the signing of Panthers and NSW Blues sensation Brian To'o to a three-year contract.
To'o is celebrated as one of the premier wingers in rugby league history, becoming the latest addition to the NRL's 19th expansion club, set to debut in 2028.
With a record of four premiership titles, To'o not only adds significant experience to the team but is known for his remarkable ability to gain yards from the backfield, creating challenges for opposing defenders.
This strength is appreciated by Queensland Maroons icon Gorden Tallis, who had the opportunity to play with legends like Lote Tuqiri and Wendell Sailor.
Tallis underscored the value of having a top-tier winger like To'o on an NRL roster, dubbing him the franchise's "first real blue-chip signing."
With such a strong addition, there are high hopes for the future of the PNG Chiefs in the competition.
It is suggested that within two years, the club could very well secure a championship title, solidifying its place in the league.
