To’a played his first full game in Round 3 against the Bulldogs and went on to make 17 additional appearances and score seven tries this season.

Although the Tigers were unable to win again for the remainder of the season, that triumph in Round 12 served as the season’s high point.
It also put a stop to To’a’s impressive run of play, during which he scored five tries in six games.
