'Sin bin Sunday!' SEVEN go as Souths end Roosters' season in record-breaking derby.

“It is unbelievable… Egan Butcher 18. Nat Butcher 13. Sam Verrills 17. Sam Walker 8. Roosters enforcer Victor Radley was the first to go to the bin in the first half for a strike on Taane Milne. “It is a historic moment in the history of this great sport, Johnston reaching 30 in back-to-back seasons,” Fox League’s Andrew Voss said. “It is a historic moment in the history of this great sport, Johnston reaching 30 in back-to-back seasons,” Voss said.

Wild NRL history in utter finals madness (NEWS.com.au)

The Roosters and Rabbitohs played out one of the wildest NRL finals in history in a game which has seen a bizarre all-time record set.

Cooper Cronk said he believed there were probably two bins wrong in the game but that it was "a great game". But it was the sin bin count in the spiteful clash which is bound to dominate the week. Michael Ennis said he believed the first sin bin was a "love tap". But it was just the beginning as there were record seven sin bins - there had never been more than five in a match previously - which included five tries scored by the team with the man disadvantage and five HIAs with three failures in just the craziest match. Fox Sports' Matt Russell said it was "the most remarkable game I've been sideline at". The bitter rivalry between the teams was obvious from the opening minutes when Victor Radley was sin binned for a punch that was laughed off as little more than a push by the commentators.

Chaos and carnage with Radley, Burgess, Milne, JWH sin-binned ... (The Roar)

The Elimination Final between the Sydney Roosters and South Sydney has kicked off in bizarre fashion with Latrell Mitchell kicking downfield on the first ...

He got up and played the ball the wrong way before being sent for an HIA. “It was unbelievable when they went a man down I thought we’re on here and then we conceded two tries,” Souths coach Jason Demetriou told Fox League on the field straight after the game. Down to a squad of 13, the Roosters were reduced to 12 on the field after Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was banished to the bin for a head slam on Burgess in the 50th minute. Crichton was ruled out for the rest of the game at half-time after he was taken off to be assessed following a shoulder to the head while trying to tackle a fired-up Burgess in the 33rd minute. “I’ve never seen anything like it, it was brutal. Tom Burgess was sin-binned for a high tackle on Matt Lodge soon after a similar hit on Tedesco in the 18th minute and when Milne suffered the same fate for a hit on opposing winger Joseph Suaalii at the mid-point of a crazy first half, the Roosters were playing against 11 Rabbitohs.

The Roosters meanwhile will head into the off-season battered and bruised, wondering what could have been.

It also turned out to be a crucial strike as the match sat in the balance. It got to the point where it was so stop-start... Burgess then left the field for an HIA which he failed.

the journalist prodded. "No, just in general," the reporter confirmed. "In the game, though, with Souths?" "I'll ask you to have a look, and (I) say (to you), 'Where did we do that?'.

'Go watch UFC': NRL under fire over finals chaos as big problem with sin bin 'lottery' emerges.

He didn’t send (Burgess) to the bin for ruling the best player of the game out. “He (the referee) done nothing. [And it was that exact moment that rugby league great Laurie Daley believes “set the standard” for the rest of the game.](https://www.foxsports.com.au/newsletter-sign-up?utm_source=NRLArticle&utm_medium=TextLink&utm_campaign=signup) “For me, the bigger issue is that we have created a rod for our own back in terms of what’s a sin bin and what’s not a sin bin,” he added. “There were incidents in that game where we thought why are they penalised for that and why are they being sin binned for that.” “Yet we had people that were rubbing someone on the face and what Victor Radley did early he got 10 minutes in the bin for — why didn’t Burgess get 10 for that one? He knocked him out, he didn’t pass his concussion test,” he said on Big Sports Breakfast. Rothfield also revealed that he spoke to the NRL’s head of football Graham Annesley, who gave Klein “a rap” for his refereeing and said “it took a referee as strong as Klein to remove seven players from the field.” “How in the hell has rugby league descended into such a state that the Sydney Roosters’ Victor Radley can be sin binned for a so-called punch on South Sydney’s Taane Milne when the replay shows it is nothing more than a shove and a bit of a wrestle?
