Souths proved victorious on Sin Bin Sunday - but Cronulla were the big winners after the brutal elimination final at Allianz Stadium.On Saturday night, the league chatter was that Cronulla will be shark bait next weekend after their 93-minute marathon loss to the Cowboys.But that all changed on Sunday after one of the most ferocious games of the modern era as the Roosters and Rabbitohs went to war.But by the time the NRL judiciary, the doctors and the physios get through with Souths over the next few days, they could be battling to field a team against the Sharks.Prop Tom Burgess and winger Taane Milne are both certain to be charged for damaging high shots and several other players could also be in hot water after 80 minutes of trench warfare.The Sharks would have cheered every high shot and every melee as the two old rivals ripped into each other.Souths were worthy winners, but it was at a cost.As a result, in my eyes, Cronulla will start as slight favourites in what promises to be another mouth-watering final next weekend.
