The Roosters were never in it and they’ll now likely face the winner of the Bulldogs and Sea Eagles in an elimination final next week.
Cleary was everywhere in the first half as Brian To’o, Izack Tago, Jarome Luai and Luke Garner all crossed for the tries.
Roosters stars Joseph Suaalii and James Tedesco scored the opening tries of the second half before Garner crossed for a second to seal it in the 70th minute.
