- Brian To’o was a familiar figure on the flight home
- The blues star had an outstanding origin series
New South Wales hero Brian To’o stunned a plane full of footy fans after he was pictured returning to Sydney following the Blues’ historic 14-4 State of Origin decider wearing his Blues playing kit.
The 25-year-old Panthers winger had a standout series and partied into the night with his Blues teammates after the instant classic.
Then on Thursday morning, To’o was seen boarding a flight back to Sydney still dressed in his full playing uniform and a New South Wales cap.
Many football fans on social media loved her fashion choice.
“How can you not love Bizza?” wrote one fan.
“Bizza can do whatever Bizza wants,” another replied.
“Powerful move,” said a third.
However, not everyone agreed with the idea.

“Imagine the smell. Full game plus late night party. It would be horrible to sit next to him,” one fan posted.
On Thursday morning, To’o was hit with a grade two misdemeanor charge for his role in the 31st minute brawl.
He has been fined 13 percent of the match fee, but the charge will not affect his record at the club.
Jeremiah Nanai, Reuben Cotter and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow were also fined $6,000 each for their roles in the fight.
Blues No. 18 Matt Burton and prop Payne Haas, who were on the NSW bench, were each fined $3000 for running inside, as was Felise Kaufusi from the Maroons trade.
To’o was hit with a grade two misdemeanor charge for his role in the first-half brawl that broke out Wednesday night.
Haumole Olakau’atu and Cameron Murray, from New South Wales, were charged with grade three misdemeanor conduct.
Both players will be eligible to accept two-match suspensions after storming off the New South Wales bench to join the fight.
If they challenge the suspensions and lose, the bans will extend to three games in a bittersweet continuation of the Blues’ 14-4 victory.
