Cleary came off as a precaution with a few minutes to go in the preliminary final win over Cronulla after he clutched at his shoulder having just made a try-saving tackle on Kayal Iro.

The chief playmaker missed three weeks after hurting his left shoulder against the Storm in round 24 but has been at his brilliant best in the finals, setting up three tries and kicking a 40/20 in the win over the Sharks.
