Panthers All Time Lock & why is it Isaah Yeo

[soc123_au]

Kind of pointless this one, but here we go, other options included as they were all fantastic players for the club and as much as they deserve recognition, not everyone can be the Messiah.

Will be busy in the morning, so it's up a bit early

 

[Munky]

The best player of his generation.

The best player ever for his club.

The best player of the 2020s.

Should be a future immortal.

Four time premiership captain.

Australian captain.

The most aesthetically pleasing human being to ever take the field.

The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be:



*I had a half day at work and the rest of the train carriage is looking at me weird for the noises I'm making writing this post.

I don't know why, I brought my own baby wipes to clean up.

 

[Luke Bowden]

I thought I’d throw some love towards Scotty Sattler, but Yeo is easily our best.

 

[Thirsty Panther]

No contest.
Next.

Adam Docker would like a word

 

[Fangs]

Yeo.

Could have at least put David Elvy on the list.

I have got one for him "omnipotent". When he looks it up he will find a picture of Isaah Yeo.

He always gets a start at our Old Boys days!

Those 17 NRL appearances must have been electric.

 

[Chins get the wins]

The best lock and human to have ever played the sport. Hopefully one day I can watch him have my wife.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Yeo.

But special shout out to my other favourite Panther lock
The underrated Dutchman Col Van Der Voort.
Injury sadly shortened his career and robbed him of a place on the 1990 Kangaroo tour. crucially missed during the 90 GF. He did the hard yards, often carrying an injury. Played fearless above his weight. No slouch in attack either, often having some influence on the game.
Some say he was the best lock on the field in the 91 GF.
One of my favourites growing up.

Nigel Gaffey or Luke Swain

He never do that..... to his own wife,
maybe if she left him maybe

 

[Girds89]

No doubt its yeo..

But i think special mention needs to go to Luke Lewis who was just an incredible player for us.

He carried the boys through dark times and played everywhere filling in for the club.

He really was a special player.. to play 300 games in the nrl you have to be elite and luke lewis was an elite nrl player..

324 nrl games
17 origins
16 games for aus
Clive churchill medal
Dally m lock of the year..

Bloke was a freak who was a genuine winner and all time penrith great.

Yes yeo is our best but lewis deserves a very honourable mention..

Agree, great player with a promising cut short by injury.

Van der Voort was a fine player. Incredibly unlucky…. No Waterhouse?

Yeo is a monster though, the full package, incredible at everything, like Clyde in his time, just redefining what a 13 can be
