Cleary’s absence had been keenly felt by the Panthers, who saw a slight dip in their performance during his time on the sidelines. His return couldn’t have come at a better time, as the team gears up for the crucial mid-season fixtures that will determine their standing in the NRL ladder.
“I’m thrilled to be back with the boys,” said Cleary in a statement to the press. “It’s been tough watching from the sidelines, but I’ve been working hard on my recovery and rehabilitation. I’m feeling fit and ready to contribute to the team.”
The news of Cleary’s return has sparked excitement among fans and analysts alike, with many predicting a resurgence in the Panthers’ form with their star playmaker back in action. Known for his exceptional ball-playing skills and leadership on the field, Cleary’s presence is expected to provide a significant boost to the team’s chances in the upcoming matches.
Coach Ivan Cleary (Nathan’s father) expressed his delight at having his son back in the squad. “Nathan brings a level of composure and tactical awareness that is unmatched,” he remarked. “His return gives us a renewed sense of confidence as we strive to achieve our season goals.”
As the Panthers prepare for their next match against arch-rivals South Sydney Rabbitohs, all eyes will be on Nathan Cleary to see how he performs after his comeback. For now, the mood in Penrith is one of optimism and anticipation, with hopes high that Cleary’s return will mark the beginning of a successful run for the Panthers in the NRL season.
