On Friday night at CommBank Stadium against the Cowboys, Isaah Yeo will reach an outstanding milestone in his career, becoming the first Panthers player to play 250 games at the club.
The Dubbo junior spoke about his journey leading up to this history-making moment, touching on career goals and revealing he’d love to reach 300 games.
Yeo also praised his coach Ivan Cleary and staff who have helped him throughout the years in his brilliant career.
“I’ve had some wonderful coaches who have given me a lot of opportunities,” Yeo said.
"Ivan moved me to lock fulltime and Trent Barrett was the attack coach when I first moved into that position and he helped me a tremendous amount.
"After 2019 - that was a disappointing season - it could have gone either way there, but they trusted me and I like to think I've repaid a bit of that."

Yeo talks journey to 250 games
Cleary also shared his praises and gratitude for the record-breaker.
“He's the current Golden Boot winner. If you have a look at the past winners, that says a fair bit about where he is," the Panthers coach said.
"He'd be the first to admit that as an edge player, he was certainly capable but didn't have certain skill sets that fit an elite back-rower.
"It turns out that what he can do in the middle goes beyond what a lot of other people can do, so it's been a good move for him and he's made it his own."
