nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach Adam O'Brien has named his 22-man squad for our Round 1 clash against the New Zealand Warriors at Sky Stadium, Wellington.

Knights debutants Adam Elliott (335), Jackson Hastings (336), Jack Hetherington (337) and Lachlan Miller (338) have been appointed their Knights player number, as they prepare for their first competition match for the Club in the season opener.

The team will take the field on Friday in a one-off jersey bearing the logo of the John Hunter Children’s Hospital, thanks to Knights Platinum partner Palmerbet.

In line with legislation governing sports betting in both Australia and New Zealand, Palmerbet has opted to substitute its logo for that of the Hospital – a long-time Knights community partner, on both youth retail jerseys as well as those to be worn in the match against the Warriors.

The match-worn jerseys will be auctioned by Palmerbet and the Knights following the match with all proceeds to be donated to the work ‘The John’ does for children in need from across the region, from the Central Coast to the Central West and North West to North Coast.

Details of the auction will be announced in the coming days.
