Ivan Cleary has played down concerns around Jarome Luai’s knee, after he left the field early in Penrith’s 32-18 loss to Manly.
Luai was taken off with 12 minutes left after he stayed down midway through the first half when tackled in his own in-goal.
The five-eighth then fought on for the remainder of the match, before Cleary opted to withdraw him with Penrith down by 20 points.
The Panthers have the bye next week, and expect to have halfback Nathan Cleary back for their next match against Wests Tigers in a fortnight.
