Munster escapes without charge after ugly tackle on Spencer Leniu

Melbourne Storm superstar Cameron Munster has escaped charge for a nasty tackle on Spencer Leniu that Panthers coach Ivan Cleary "didn't like at all".  Leniu was left prone on the turf and looked to be in trouble after he was bent backwards by Munster after having his legs trapped under the body of the Storm No.6 in the dying seconds of the first half of last night's thrilling grand final rematch. It was the kind of tackle that can have devastating consequences yet Leniu, who was clearly unimpressed, was lucky to get back on his feet and play the ball. Kenny Bromwich and Nelson Asofa-Solomana were also involved in the tackle, but it was the twisting movement that Munster caused by dragging Leniu backwards from underneath him that raised concerns. "Yes, I didn't like it at all," Cleary said when asked if he had an opinion on the tackle. "But I'm his coach and there are smarter people than me to work that out."
