Ivan Cleary anticipates no suspension for Nathan Cleary after sin bin

Ivan Cleary, head coach of the Penrith Panthers, stated that he expects no suspension for son Nathan Cleary despite being sin-binned during the match against the Sydney Roosters. Nathan received a yellow card for making contact with the kicker, a decision acknowledged by both the player and his coach. While Nathan has a solid judiciary record, any charge higher than Grade 1 would result in a suspension for the upcoming preliminary final. The Panthers hope to have Nathan available as they prepare to face either the New Zealand Warriors or Newcastle Knights in two weeks. Concerns also surround Nathan's foot injury, with no definitive diagnosis reported yet.
