I'm a big fan of Wade Graham, Andrew Fifita and Aiden Tolman - they have been fine players for a long time.But carrying the three veterans in the one pack hurt Cronulla badly against the youthful Souths forwards on Saturday night.The trio could only manage between 50 and 60 metres each carting the ball forward - Souths' Tevita Tatola ran more than the three of them combined with 175 power-packed metres.The Sharks had a fine season before the disappointing fadeout at Allianz Stadium, where Souths totally dominated them up front.Dale Finucane was the only Cronulla forward to run for more than 100 metres - all six Souths starters ran for triple figures.With Fifita and Tolman set to hang up the boots, the Sharks will have a younger, leaner pack next season and that should give them a harder, faster look up the middle which is so essential in the modern game.
