Yeo’s 2024 season has been nothing short of remarkable. Highlights include leading the Panthers to yet another successful NRL campaign, where his playmaking and defensive resilience stood out. On the international stage, Yeo played a pivotal role in Australia’s victories in key matches, showcasing his ability to thrive under pressure.
Tributes have poured in from across the rugby league world. Panthers coach Ivan Cleary praised Yeo as a “once-in-a-generation leader,” while fans and players alike took to social media to celebrate the achievement.
With the Golden Boot now in his trophy cabinet, Yeo’s focus remains on continuing his leadership role with the Panthers and representing Australia on the world stage. As one of rugby league’s finest ambassadors, his legacy continues to grow.
