Penrith have confirmed club champion Nathan Cleary will return from his latest hamstring issue to face Canterbury in Round 10. The Panthers pulled Cleary a day out from Thursday’s victory over South Sydney, despite the star halfback making it through the captain’s run. The reigning premiers were keen to take a cautious approach to Cleary’s fitness, given he had felt some tightness in his hamstring after the Round 8 away game against North Queensland.
Coach Ivan Cleary blamed himself for not making a decision to rest his son earlier in the week so as to give Schneider more time with the team. “That’s on me, we should’ve made that call earlier,” he said. “We wanted to see how would go yesterday, hoping he’d get through it without any dramas. “In the end, it just seemed to be too much risk. “Brad came in and had done zero reps this week, or the week before, so I think he did pretty well.
