Panthers<\/a> star Brian To'o has revealed his try celebration during Penrith's win over the Tigers<\/a> today was a tribute to his late nephew.<\/p>\n

To'o today was back to his usual destructive best, playing in his first game in over a month after being sidelined with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

The superstar Blues winger for the 15th time this season amassed more than 200 run-metres and came up with a try as the Panthers edged closer to claiming back-to-back minor premierships with one round remaining.<\/p>\n

Moments after crossing for a try during the second half, To'o showcased his rock-the-baby celebration and blew out a kiss as part of a tribute to his younger nephew who passed away recently.<\/p>\n

"It feels good to be back with the boys, my lungs are pumping at the moment," To'o told Wide World of Sports' The Final Whistle.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

"[The try celebration] was dedicated to my little nephew, who recently passed away.<\/p>\n

"He was named after me, 'Bizza', that was definitely for my boy."<\/p>\n

\"Brian<\/p>\n

The win for Penrith locks up a top-two spot on the ladder, and if they're victorious next weekend and the Storm go down to the Sharks, the Panthers will finish the season on top.<\/p>\n
