Brian To’o has revealed he played the majority of the NRL grand final despite suffering a knee injury in the game before he was eventually taken off the field. To’o cut a battered figure in Penrith’s sheds after the game, strapped up and limping heavily on his knee after his team’s 14-6 win over Melbourne. To’o said he had clashed knees early in the match. He still managed to run 213 metres in 57 minutes of football before being taken off by coach Ivan Cleary.
The Samoan international busted fives tackles, while fullback Dylan Edwards and fellow winger Sunia Turuva also totalled above 200 metres. Coach Cleary said To’o’s inability to compete on kick chases prompted him to bring the 26-year-old off. In his place, Paul Alamoti starred with a try and a crucial late take to kill off any final-minute comeback from the Storm. “We were getting hurt on those kick chases a bit, and the Storm are smart enough that they would pick that up,” Cleary said.
