Mako Shark
Cronulla beat competition newcomers Newcastle 32-0 in a trial at Caltex Field in February 1988.
Tiny Sharks fullback Docking stole centre stage with three tries, while Stains and Dimond played with plenty of purpose.
ET and McGaw both enjoyed some big runs in a game hampered by pouring rain and a heavy track.
Cronulla coach Alan Fitzgibbon sympathised with Newcastle coach Alan McMahon after the game: "I know how tough it is - I had Illawarra for their first season. I thought they put up a good effort... they'll obviously benefit from today."
