The rugby league world has rallied around Brian To’o and his wife Moesha Crichton after the Penrith Panthers winger shared a deeply personal update about their family circumstances.
In a short but heartfelt statement released through club channels, the couple expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and encouragement they have received from teammates, fans, and the broader National Rugby League community. They also respectfully asked for privacy while they focus on their family during this sensitive period.
While the exact details of the situation were not disclosed, messages of support quickly spread across social media, with fellow players, clubs, and supporters sending prayers and well-wishes to the Panthers star and his loved ones. Many praised To’o not only for his on-field brilliance but also for his character and openness during a difficult time.
Within the Panthers organisation, officials are understood to be offering full support to the winger, emphasising that his wellbeing and family come first. Sources close to the club say teammates have rallied around him, reflecting the tight-knit culture that has helped Penrith remain one of the NRL’s most successful sides in recent years.
To’o, widely regarded as one of the competition’s most energetic and reliable wingers, has been a central figure in Penrith’s dominance and a fan favourite for his powerful runs, infectious enthusiasm, and humility off the field. News of his personal situation has therefore struck a chord with supporters who view him as more than just a player.
For now, the Panthers star is expected to take the time he needs, with the club signalling its commitment to standing by him. Across the league, the message has been clear: football can wait — family comes first.
