Following his side's 36-4 drubbing at the hands of Cronulla, Nathan Brown called into question his opponents' premiership credentials.

Quizzed on whether he thought the Sharks could go all the way this season, the Knights coach seemed a tad sceptical.
"They've got a lot of good footy players but they're not a big side." Brown said.
"In September the sides with the big bodies are the sides that have won for a lot of years now and what will probably be their biggest challenge is if there small forwards can handle the sheer size and power of some of the other top four sides."
"Whether they can generate enough momentum and be able to hold and stop the bigger blokes will determine whether they can go all the way or not."
Cronulla extended their unbeaten run to fifteen games against Newcastle - and anything short of a Grand Final triumph will surely be viewed as a failure by the club.
Did Brown hit the nail on the head?
