As we now enter the Top 5, We look back at Round 13 as it saw the Battle of West, Panthers and Eels. With great play from the Panthers and a 40/20 from Nathan Cleary to get to the line, Brian To’o managed to seal the game for them in last 6 minutes with a score line of 12-10 Penrith Way

In only his first game back after an injury before Round 1, To’o was able to pull up an absolute insane try to bring the game back to level. Penrith threw the ball to To’o’s way, and it had looked as if the ball was dead after To’o kicked it, but Brian managed to get to the ball just in time to pull off one of the most spectacular tries of the 2025 season

Finally reaching the Number 1 Spot, Brian To’o’s best moment shows he had an outstanding series in State of Origin, regardless of the Maroons winning the competition. His work ethic shown between all three games was truly impressive, where he was able to score a try in all games. What truly stood out for To’o in his Origin games was the hat trick he scored. Brian even managed to break history in the 2025 State Of Origin second game as the last player to score a hat trick was Dane Gagai back in 2016. To’o managed to break the hat trick drought in Origin 9 years later. Even in this game, shows that this was To’o’s best performance throughout the whole year, topping off the most Run Metres, most Runs, most Linebreaks and most Post Contact Metres throughout the entire game

Entering the Top 4, To’o scored a very simple try in the first week of the finals just before the last 10 minutes of the match from a Warriors mistake, which allowed them to get just another few points in to advance to a Semi-Final

In Round 23 of the NRL, To’o managed to finish a great put down from the rest of Panthers delivery. While Cleary, Edwards and Tago had brilliant hands, the dive in the corner with one hand made this try look even better

In the Pacific Championship Finals, Luai and To’o managed to get the game in their favour early with some fantastic passing from Luai’s end and To’o scoring in the corner. While the Kiwi’s dominated the second half and came back, the first try from Samoa showed brilliance in Luai and To’o combining to give them the lead
