St George Illawarra Dragons fullback Josh Dugan cleared over late tackle on Johnathan Thurston Josh Dugan has been cleared by the judiciary of a high shot on Johnathan Thurston. BLUES fullback Josh Dugan has been cleared by the match review panel over a late tackle during St George Illawarra team's loss to North Queensland on Friday night. Recalled to the NSW squad on Sunday to replace the injured Jarryd Hayne, Dugan's availability for Origin game 2 in Brisbane on June 26 was in some doubt following a lazy, late shot on Cowboys and Queensland playmaker Johnathan Thurston at WIN Stadium. However the 23-year-old was cleared to play when the match review panel on Monday said no players would be charged from round 14 NRL matches. Dugan was with Origin teammate Blake Ferguson at a Cronulla night spot last night when it is alleged Ferguson touched a woman inappropriately. No allegations have been made against Dugan.
