Nathan Cleary's recent performance has sparked controversy, leading to a grade-one dangerous contact charge stemming from a tackle on Hugo Savala of the Sydney Roosters.
This incident occurred shortly before halftime in the match on Sunday, which saw Penrith secure a 19-12 victory over the Roosters.
The match review committee addressed the tackle on Monday, resulting in the charge against Cleary.
If he admits guilt, Cleary can manage a fine of $1,000 but remains eligible to participate in the upcoming preliminary final.
Referee Gerard Sutton had previously penalized Cleary, remarking, "There's force in it, it's very dangerous, and there's a high risk of injury."
