Penrith co-captain Isaah Yeo has expressed his disappointment over the team's decision to forgo the World Club Challenge, a title that remains elusive for the Panthers. The club has officially informed the NRL that they will not be able to compete for the prestigious trophy after securing their fourth consecutive premiership by defeating Melbourne in the recent grand final. The Panthers were set to face the winner of the Super League decider between Wigan and Hull KR, which is scheduled for Sunday (AEDT). However, the team's upcoming trip to Las Vegas for the opening round of the 2025 season has created a scheduling conflict. The World Club Challenge typically takes place just before the NRL regular season begins, either in England or Australia, making it impossible for Penrith to participate this year. Yeo's sentiments reflect the team's desire to claim the only major trophy that has eluded them, highlighting the bittersweet nature of their recent achievements.
