It was a rewarding result for Steve 'Beaver' Menzies who was influential in the decider and got over the line for his 180th career try.
Michael Robertson was another stand-out, scoring a hat-trick and has now been rewarded with selection in the Scottish World Cup squad.
Due to their great performance, six Sea Eagles have been selected in the 24 man World Cup squad for Australia.

Menzies should be there, but you would have to put him on the bench.
Mark Bryant never seems to get any credit, the man did his job and did it well, coming off the bench he made no mistakes and continued the Sea Eagles dominance.
Also, Glenn Hall was brilliant and set up that last try...
Anthony Watmough was one of the best on ground and atoned for his poor showing last year... to be honest... only Folau who threatened to single handedly change the game and Crocker who just won't quit... even with a broken set of ribs deserve to be there...
Cooper didn't do much wrong, but behind a well beaten pack, could not have done anything...
TO put a halfback in a team that scores no points... very odd
just my humble observation...

Menzies is there...why would you put him on the bench? Not only was it his last game, but he was dominant while on the field.
I did take Mark Bryant into account, but the truth is, I am a Manly fan and didn't want to seem too biased. I also think that Sika Manu and Jeremy Smith both played as well as Bryant even though they were on the losing side.
Yes Glen Hall made a bust at the end, but I thought it was actually one of his poorer games over the last few weeks. Plus Beaver and Watmough were too good to leave out of the starting side.
Cronk...yeah you are right! I usually like to have a small man on the bench and he was the only one I could think of....
just my humble response...

Folau really impressed - he could end up as a lock forward if he wanted to..
Menzies, love him to death, but long gone are his second row days...
Look out for the beaver special memorabilia coming out soon... limited to 349 pieces!
