Isaah Yeo only wanted to outdo his old man. Fair to say he’s done that ... and much more
@Source: smh.com.au
Isaah Yeo had one aim when he started his rugby league career – to eclipse his father, Justin, who played 11 first-grade games for Balmain and North Sydney.
“Dad would always mouth off about his 11 games, so when I started, the goal was to play 12 games and score one try – anything after that was going to be a bonus,” Isaah told this masthead. “I’ve lapped the old man now.”
Yeo brings up 250 games for the Panthers against North Queensland on Friday night at Commbank Stadium. He overtook Steve Carter’s long-standing club record of 242 games during last year’s preliminary finals.
Now 30, Yeo is playing as well as ever and, with a bit of luck, will reach 300 games before his contract runs out at the end of 2027. After that, Yeo is open to a move to Super League, or Perth.
