Footy hard man Mark Geyer has revealed that he cried after getting the news that his son Mavrik will play his debut NRL game for the Panthers against the Roosters on Thursday night.
The 23-year-old second-rower, who is also the nephew of Penrith legend Greg Alexander, will wear jumper 17 in the clash at Allianz Stadium.
The youngster has been knocking on the door of a first-grade debut since he joined the club last year - and after an outstanding preseason and an injury to Scott Sorenson, coach Ivan Cleary has decided to blood him.
'On Sunday he called while he was in rehab after playing Saturday in NSW Cup,' Mark told the Sydney Morning Herald.
'He said, "Dad". I said, "Yes mate?" He said, "Dad I'm playing on Thursday".
