In a blockbuster NRL move, the Brisbane Broncos have secured the signature of Penrith Panthers and NSW Blues star Brian To’o on a three-year deal worth \$3.1 million. The agreement, which begins in the 2026 season, marks a major coup for the Broncos as they look to bolster their backline with one of the game’s most dynamic wingers.
To’o, 26, has been a cornerstone of Penrith’s recent dominance, playing a vital role in their premiership three-peat from 2021 to 2023. Renowned for his powerful carries, tireless work ethic, and infectious energy, To’o brings a wealth of experience and championship pedigree to Brisbane’s young squad.
Broncos coach Kevin Walters expressed his excitement about the signing: “Brian is a proven winner and a world-class finisher. He’s the kind of player who lifts everyone around him — both on and off the field. We believe he’ll thrive in Brisbane and help us push for premiership success.”
The deal reportedly includes performance incentives and community engagement commitments, aligning with To’o’s reputation as a strong role model within the Pacific Islander and Indigenous communities. His arrival is expected to fill the void left by departing winger Selwyn Cobbo, who recently signed with the Dolphins for 2026.
To’o said in a statement, “I’m grateful for everything at Penrith — it’s my home and always will be. But I’m also really excited for this next chapter with the Broncos. I’m looking forward to the challenge and giving my best to the club and its fans.”
The move signals Brisbane’s serious intent to return to premiership glory, with To’o joining a core of emerging stars and experienced leaders in one of the league’s most excit
ing rosters.
