CRONULLA SHARKS 12 SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS 38
TOM SMITH
TAANE MILNE'S brace led South Sydney to a comfortable semi-final win over Cronulla and into a preliminary final against reigning Premiers Penrith.
Milne crossed once in each half and assisted another try as the Rabbitohs kept the Sharks at arm’s length, despite a brief second-half rally by Craig Fitzgibbon’s men. Now, though, Bunnies coach Jason Demetriou faces a nervous wait over the fitness of strike winger Alex Johnston (hip flexor), bench hooker Siliva Havili (calf) and forward Jai Arrow (groin), who all limped to the sideline early.
