Eels v Knights Round 3 NRLW team list

nib Newcastle Knights NRLW Head Coach Ronald Griffiths has named his 22-woman squad for our Round 3 clash against the Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium this Sunday.

In a huge boost for the side, Captain Hannah Southwell has been named to make her return.

The NSW and Australian representative ruptured her ACL in Round 1 of last season and will mark her first appearance of the new campaign by leading out the side at CommBank Stadium.

English international Georgia Roche has also been selected to make her highly-anticipated NRLW debut.

A quick and strong ball-runner, Roche will line-up alongside Jesse Southwell in the halves.

In further team news, Kiwi international Laishon Albert-Jones returns to the bench having missed last round due to a mandatory concussion stand-down.
