Brian To'o's journey with the Papua New Guinea Chiefs is just starting.
After a week filled with attention due to a major life decision, To'o returned to his training routine.
In the Panthers' challenging 12-6 defeat against the Roosters, To'o's performance was characteristic of his usual high standards.
While he didn't secure his 100th try for the Panthers, he managed an impressive 17 runs covering 162 metres, along with five tackle busts and two line breaks.
For many wingers, these stats would signal a great performance; for To'o, it's just par for the course.
This display came shortly after To'o's announcement of joining the Papua New Guinea Chiefs, which surprised few.
His consistent excellence has firmly established him as one of the best wingers of his era.
As he continues to shine through this season and into his final year with Penrith in 2027, his performance is expected to remain stellar.
To'o is undoubtedly the most notable player the Chiefs have acquired, yet this title may be contested soon.
Since the Broncos gathered numerous Queensland stars for their debut season in 1988, no expansion team has attracted so much established talent.
Of the six players who have signed with the Chiefs, four have competed in State of Origin over the last two years.
This is impressive, considering some clubs go years without landing such high-caliber players.
The other two signings include the all-time leading try-scorer in Australian rugby and a top front-rower from England.
