Paul Donaghy scored with six minutes left on the clock to help Cronulla return from a 12-2 deficit to lead the Wests Magpies 14-12 in the 1996 quarter-final (5th vs 8th).

Cronulla ended up winning 20-12 after a last-minute try to Paul Green, but the key play was Donaghy pushing through Ken McGuinness from a scrum to score.

It was ET's first finals win and Cronulla's first since 1978.

Paul Donaghy capped a remarkable year by being named Cronulla's Player of the Year the following week.
