Brain To’o shocked fans and some of his teammates last week after revealing the crazy pre-Grand Final breakfast he was going to have, which would make the Penrith club’s nutritionist break down.
The Panthers winger impressed during Sunday’s 14-6 win over Melbourne.
Although he did not score during the match, he showed his bravery and resilience by returning to the field after suffering a serious knee injury in the 60th minute. However, even with that knock, To’o managed to carry 186 m during the game.
To’o, however, is known for his love of junk food and last week he talked about how some of his teammates react to his crazy diet.
The 26-year-old revealed last week he planned to eat a large bowl of fries with aioli, two breakfast burgers and six Coke Zeros for breakfast to fuel him for the NRL showpiece.
“People are always weirded out by my breakfast,” he told News Corp.
‘They think something is wrong with me but everything is fine. It will be the same this week.’
And there seems to be a method to this madness, with To’o starring in helping the Panthers to their fourth straight premiership win, with his excellent breakfast seemingly fueling their blistering runs.
Following the victory, celebrations continued late into the night as Ivan Cleary’s team claimed their names in rugby league immortality.
To’o also received a crown from his wife on the field, with his nickname ‘BIZZA’ emblazoned on the front.
In the sheds, the players showed off their Grand Final rings, before being taken by bus to the club headquarters in the early hours of the morning.
On Monday, To’o posted a clip to his Instagram account showing him enjoying his legendary breakfast once again, munching on two huge burgers, a large plate of fries, and six Coca-Cola Zeros.

The players were showered with champagne as they embarked on the party to end all parties.
He captioned the video: “Two breakfast burgers, a plate of fries, six Cokes Zero, caramel latte and two extra sugars of syrup.” You are welcome.’
Speaking about his teammate’s diet, Nathan Cleary praised To’o, stating: “His diet is the most unique I have seen in a rugby league player.”
“I’ve never seen someone eat four cans of Coca-Cola and 10 hash browns for breakfast on game day.
“He manages to do it and is still a beast on the field, so congratulations to him.”
