He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,\u201d Cleary said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a sub that we were going to do and I changed it at the last minute, that\u2019s what he was doing, he was trying to communicate with the bench.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause it was a late change, there\u2019s a lot of stuff going on to make sure we didn\u2019t make that change we were going to. That was why there was a bit of confusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end it was just an honest mistake, he apologised straight away. Anyone around him would have seen that, the Titans would know that.<\/p>\n<p>Trainer drama overshadows Cleary magic | 00:54<\/p>\n<p>MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n<p>\u2018WAITING FOR THAT\u2019: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2025-wayne-bennett-on-souths-horror-injury-toll-ryan-gray-jamie-humphreys-no-18th-man-press-conference-round-22\/news-story\/6a6d6d93943045ca39b2edf14d6b0ea5\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Wayne\u2019s admission after Souths\u2019 rout amid injury crisis <\/a><\/p>\n<p>ROUT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2025-brisbane-broncos-vs-south-sydney-rabbitohs-live-scores-teams-videos-blog-stream-reece-walsh-jye-gray-round-22\/news-story\/29f9fbce6c47f0e08071f37041bb01df\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Walsh leads Broncos to rout of injury-hit Bunnies despite enforcer\u2019s injury blow<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2018CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2025-herbie-farnworth-suffers-freak-hamstring-injury-dolphins-vs-new-zealand-warriors-round-22\/news-story\/4f97d0f15845ff8e9e9880b729bbaca3\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Dolphins cop \u2018devastating\u2019 blow as freak injury to star<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MASTERSTROKE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2025-lachlan-galvin-cameron-ciraldo-big-decision-jarome-luai-galvin-plays-the-tigers-benji-marshall-tigers-vs-bulldogs-feud-news-videos-highlights\/news-story\/4491bec07b626ef4a1ad497865665a19\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">How Dogs\u2019 Galvin call could explode against Tigers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am happy to say we apologise for it, because it\u2019s not something that anyone set out to do.
