Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has confirmed his son Nathan suffered a significant hamstring injury on Sunday night and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period.
Nathan suffered the injury while
running back in defence against the Dragons
and Ivan said the NSW halfback is very unlikely to play in State of Origin Game 2 on June 21.
The 25-year-old was backing up on a four-day turnaround after playing 80 minutes in the Origin opener last Wednesday,
which NSW lost.
