Is Isaah Yeo the perfect NRL player?
Annika Legg • November 11th, 2024 10:27 pm
Isaah Yeo has officially capped off one of the best individual seasons in NRL history, winning three trophies at separate levels of the game.
The Penrith Panthers star played a key role in the team's historic fourth straight premiership title, finishing the year on another high as he captained the Kangaroos to a Pacific Championship victory this weekend.
*SEN's* Jimmy Smith reflected on the extraordinary year from Yeo and argued that he is the perfect player.
“What a year Isaah Yeo has had," Smith said on *SEN1170.*
“He led Penrith to a fourth straight premiership.”
“He was an internal leader for the NSW Blues and they had, for only the third time in history, a victory at Suncorp Stadium in a deciding match.”
“Now he has captained Australia to the Pacific Championship.”
Many will argue over the best position for Yeo, with the star often rotating between lock, second row forward, edge forward and more, although Smith points out this further proves his talent, in ability to perform anywhere.
“If you were to build the perfect player, it's Isaah Yeo," he added.
“Is there anything more that you would want out of a professional rugby league player than what Isaah Yeo gives you.”
Yeo is regarded as one of the NRL greats and only looks to cement this title further as he expects to reach 300 NRL games for the Panthers in 2025.
