After that penalty was imposed, two videos of Cleary dancing with up to five women were uploaded to social media platform TikTok.
The NRL issued a brief statement on Friday night confirming Cleary has been served with an amended breach notice, which likely relates to the videos.Cleary received "an amended breach notice after additional information surfaced about a matter at his home which it is alleged has brought the game into disrepute," the statement said.The 22-year-old originally had 60 per cent of a $10,000 fine and a one-game ban suspended by the NRL.
"The issue with Cleary is that he has lied and said it was only a small interaction. But in the end, the TikTok social media platform shows it was more to that," Barilaro said. "In my mind, when you get caught out and apologise, you deserve a break. But not when you mislead the public and the NRL.
