Here is the Sharks side, I'd think that this is the best side the could field with the exception of Stevens.
David Peachey, David Simmons, Nigel Vagana, Ryan McGoldrick, Luke Covell, Adam Dykes, Brett Kimmorley, Hutch Maiava, Matt Hilder, Danny Nutley, Andrew Lomu, Phil Bailey, Paul Gallen. Interchange: James Stosic, Greg Bird, Reece Williams, Michael Sullivan, Phil Leuluai.
Makes our performance all the more credible with players such as Abraham, Buderus missing.
It seems the feeling on the Sharks site is that Newcastle should have won and finished the better of the two teams.
