The judiciary panel reviewed footage and reports before determining that the Panthers playmaker\u2019s actions were serious enough to warrant both a lengthy suspension and a financial penalty for the club.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cleary, widely regarded as one of the NRL\u2019s top players, will now miss several crucial matches for Penrith, dealing a significant blow to the team\u2019s early-season plans. The Panthers, who rely heavily on his leadership and game management, will be forced to reshuffle their lineup while he serves the ban.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a brief statement, the club said it respects the decision and will focus on supporting Cleary while preparing the squad for the upcoming fixtures. Fans have expressed mixed reactions, with some believing the punishment is harsh while others argue the league must enforce strict standards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Penrith will now look to regroup
