The St George Illawarra Dragons are aware of a letter from Chairman Craig Young on club letterhead supporting Brett Finch in his ongoing court case.
This statement was provided in a personal capacity and was not supported or approved by the club.
"It was an error in judgement to put this statement on club letterhead," Young said.
"I was asked to provide a letter of support to a family friend who I believe made a serious mistake but is a fundamentally decent person.
"I should not have connected the club to this matter and would like to apologise to members, fans, sponsors and all other stakeholders for any distress caused."
