Penrith legend believes Yeo more important than Cleary in title charge Written by Tony Salerno on 18 July 2021
Penrith Panthers legend Scott Sattler believes lock Isaah Yeo is more pivotal than halfback Nathan Cleary to the club’s premiership hopes in 2021.
Yeo is returning from a successful Origin stint and will captain the Panthers while Cleary recovers from a shoulder injury.
“If Isaah Yeo is there, he is a little bit more important than what Nathan Cleary is.
“He is actually the vital cog, he is the spiritual leader in this side, and I’ve seen his game go to another level as well,” Sattler said.

Jason Taumalolo will join Michael Morgan as co-captain of the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys for the 2021 NRL season.
Taumalolo is entering his 12th season in Cowboys colours and needs four further appearances to register 200 games for the club, which also triggers automatic life membership.
The 2016 Dally M winner has been a long-term member of the Cowboys’ leadership group and has acted as stand-in captain on numerous occasions over the previous two seasons.
Despite still being just 27, Taumalolo has already compiled one of the most decorated careers in Cowboys history. Aside from his historic Dally M victory, Taumalolo has been named Dally M Lock of the Year on three occasions, appeared in two grand finals and claimed a record fifth consecutive Paul Bowman Medal for Cowboys Player of the Year in 2020.
