Craig Young has doubled down on his decision to publicly support Brett Finch, but has resigned as chairman of the St George Illawarra board after his unauthorised decision to write a character reference for the disgraced ex-NRL player on Dragons letterhead.
In a statement, Young said it had been an "error in judgement" to use club letterhead to voice his support for Finch, who has been on bail since pleading guilty to one count of using a carriage service to transmit, publish or promote child abuse.
