Why Jermaine McEwen will never forget Newcastle's finals win over Souths
- Last Friday's semifinal win over South Sydney was one of the great nights in Newcastle's recent history, and nobody had a better time of it than Jermaine McEwen.
- In his first finals match, the 21-year-old had the game of his young life, inspiring the 20-10 upset victory that has the whole Hunter dreaming big ahead of Sunday's sudden-death clash with the Warriors.
- McEwen scored the first double of his NRL career and ran for 187 metres, the best mark of his 37 first-grade matches, and set the tone for the Knights' right-edge defence with a physical brutality that would make a mafia kingpin proud.
