Brian To'o has leapt to the defence of teammate Jarome Luai, adamant he and the Penrith five-eighth only want to be a shining example for the youth.

Luai's name was splashed all over the headlines last week when a News Corp report claimed he was being investigated by the NRL's integrity unit over a social media post.
