Cronulla have emerged as the biggest winners of the NRL's pre-season, coming out on top everywhere - except in the club's bank account.
The Sharks' 36-16 win over Canterbury on Sunday capped off the perfect pre-season for last year's finalists, as one of only two NRL clubs to win both their trials.
In two matches against Newcastle and the Bulldogs, the Sharks scored the most points of any team in the pre-season challenge with 64 and conceded only 32.
