Billy Slater is seen as a strong contender for future Immortal status due to his redefining of the fullback role in the modern game.
However, an emerging view is that Panthers lock Isaah Yeo should also be considered for this prestigious title.
Yeo is set to become the first player to reach 250 games for the Panthers, a noteworthy achievement considering the team's long history in the competition.
Yeo, originally from Dubbo, made his debut as a centre in 2014 before transitioning to lock in 2020.
His impact in this role has been immense, with many teams attempting to replicate his style of play.
Penrith's success in reaching five consecutive grand finals and Yeo's individual accolades, including winning the Golden Boot and leading Australia to Pacific Championships victory, further solidify his case for Immortal status.
Cameron Ciraldo, current Bulldogs coach and former colleague of Yeo in the Penrith system, supports the notion that Yeo is deserving of Immortal consideration.
Ciraldo's experience working closely with Yeo has given him insight into the player's abilities and impact on the game.
As Yeo continues to excel on the field and achieve significant milestones, his reputation as a potential future Immortal only grows stronger.
