Reports suggest that Ivan Cleary, head coach of the Penrith Panthers, has taken significant action involving his son and star player, Nathan Cleary. Contrary to rumors of suspension for misconduct, recent updates indicate the decision stems from concerns over Nathan’s worsening knee injury. Ivan Cleary revealed that Nathan had been playing through pain, but medical assessments have determined the injury is more serious than previously believed, requiring rest and rehabilitation to safeguard his long-term health.
This development comes at a critical point in the Panthers’ season, where Nathan’s absence will challenge the team’s depth and leadership. Ivan emphasized a “next man up” philosophy, showing confidence in the remaining squad members to step up during this challenging time.
No official reports suggest disciplinary action against Nathan. Instead, the focus remains on his recovery and the Panthers’ strategy moving forward as they prepare for the remainder of the season.
