Hopefully, I\u2019m doing a little bit of [what Yeo does] here at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Eels celebrate scoring a try against the Sydney Roosters\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/30feb9a65c43eae25931c13d79d0cab08e79a061.jpeg\" height=\"390\" width=\"584\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Eels celebrate scoring a try against the Sydney RoostersCredit: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery captain is different, and every player is different when it comes to how you handle things. But whenever I get to learn from those types of leaders, I try to take notes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Josh Addo-Carr, the Eels flyer who will play his 200th NRL game on Friday \u2013 and who has also spent time playing with Yeo \u2013 said he could see the similarities between both skippers.<\/p>\n<p>Loading<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen \u2018Yeoy\u2019 speaks, everyone listens, and it\u2019s the same with Mitch,\u201d Addo-Carr said. \u201cThere\u2019s a certain way they speak. It all starts with their actions on the field. Mitch tries to win at everything, he makes every training rep count. I consider him a wonderful friend and teammate who we are lucky to have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parramatta will all need to be at the top of their game to defeat the Warriors in their own backyard. The Eels have only managed back-to-back wins once this season, and want to be challenging for finals positions themselves rather than playing late-season party-poopers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe already know we\u2019re playing good opposition who are desperate to finish as high as they can on the ladder, and we need to be ready, start well, and start physical, like we did last weekend,\u201d Moses said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew the Roosters were in and around the eight. But all we\u2019re worrying about is being good every week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Depending on other results, the Eels could jump to as high as 11th on the ladder, which is not a bad result considering they were anchored at the bottom of the ladder more than halfway through the season.<\/p>\n<p>NRL is Live and Free on Channel 9 &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.9now.com.au\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">9Now<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWhenever I\u2019ve gone into those camps with the Blues and the Aussies, and seeing Isaah Yeo \u2013 who&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102708,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-102707","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
