Penrith could have Isaah Yeo back from a shoulder injury at a crucial juncture of their top-four tilt, but the news is less rosy for South Sydney talisman Latrell Mitchell.

Yeo has not played since injuring himself in the round-22 defeat of Gold Coast, but has been named on the extended bench for the Panthers' intriguing clash with Canberra.

Penrith must defeat the ladder leaders in Mudgee to keep their top-four charge on track, having dropped down to fifth place after last week's loss to Melbourne.

Winger Semi Valemei, one of four North Queensland Cowboys players without a contract for the upcoming season, is reportedly attracting interest from another team. The six-time Fijian international has largely served as a backup since joining the Cowboys and is unlikely to remain with the team in 2026 as they aim to enhance their outside back lineup.

Valemei has appeared in just two matches this season, having played an additional 13 games since moving to Townsville from the Canberra Raiders mid-2023. Despite the limited playing time, the 26-year-old still possesses significant potential on the rugby league field.

There are now rumors linking him to the Castleford Tigers, who are looking to revamp their roster after a disappointing season. According to All Out Rugby League., the Tigers are eyeing Cowboys players as part of this transition.
