'Oh my goodness': Ban looms for Cleary after send off for 'horrible' lifting tackle.

“Massive apologies for tonight,” Cleary said. “The referee said hands between the legs, which they were, they’re the indicators the refs look for so I think the referee had no other option but to send Nathan.” “Filthy at myself for such a dumb moment that let the boys and the fans down. Cleary took to Instagram late Friday night to apologise for the tackle. “Hands are between his legs, you drove him into the ground — you’re off,” Smith said as he pointed to the sheds. Cleary wrapped one arm around Brown’s waist and the other around a leg as he lifted him beyond the horizontal.

'He feels like he let everyone down': Cleary resigned to ban after ... (NRL.COM)

Panthers coach Ivan Cleary had no complaints with the dismissal of Nathan, who was disappointed but didn't intend to put Brown in a dangerous position.

“We are going to have got a few challenges over the next few weeks and I am confident the boys will take it on. I think Fish was going to come in as well,” Cleary said. That’s the outcome and that [the send-off] is fair enough.” I think he has probably done a fair bit for our team over the years. “It was just one of those things, he certainly didn’t mean to do it. I think anyone who has been in that position would probably feel the same.

The NRL hits Penrith Panthers star Nathan Cleary with a five-match ban after he was sent off in the defeat to Parramatta.

Cleary was sent off for the first time in his career after Brown was slammed head-first into the turf in the tackle. The Panthers suffered a 34-10 loss in Friday night's blockbuster at Western Sydney Stadium, playing with 12 men for more than an hour after Cleary was sent from the field in the 18th minute. The NSW star was charged with a grade three dangerous throw, his second charge for the season, following his fine for dangerous contact in round six.

Penrith's co-captain sent off for a dangerous throw in 34-10 loss to Parramatta, leaving him unlikely to return until semi-finals of Panthers' title ...

“I think all the boys know if they’ve been in that position they would feel the same,” said father and coach Ivan. “I don’t think he meant to do it. Cleary became the first Panthers player to be dismissed in an NRL game since Travis Burns in 2012. I’m not about that, it was a terrible technique and I need to be better.” “I don’t see him as a dirty player, but he’s got his hand in that position in his groin. Thankfully for both Cleary and Brown, the Parramatta five-eighth suffered no serious injury after being driven into the ground at CommBank Stadium head first. He’s lifted him up and he’s drove him straight into the ground,” the Cowboys great said on Nine’s coverage.

Panthers co-captain Nathan Cleary has received a grade three charge for his dangerous throw tackle on Eels player Dylan Brown.

Per the NRL's rules, players have three points deducted for each week of suspension but are immediately made ineligible if they are banned for two or more matches. An unsuccessful challenge at the NRL judiciary would see Cleary suspended for six games. If the star halfback makes an early guilty plea, he will miss five matches, returning in time for the first week of finals.

'Dumb moment': Cleary apologises as he faces six-week ban for ... (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Nathan Cleary's 'dumb moment' has him facing six weeks on the sidelines after the match review committee charged him with a grade-three dangerous throw.

“Obviously it hurt a bit, but once I was up I was fine. At the end of the day, he ended up in a position we don’t want. “I don’t know what Ivan said to them, but it obviously worked.” I didn’t see him after the game, although I know if I was to do a tackle like you worry about the player. Because of a dangerous contact charge in round six, Cleary is facing an extra week in the stands because it was his second offence for the season. He knew Cleary was shattered and needed no reminding of what a dangerous position he placed him in.
