Knights v Rabbitohs Round 25 NRL team list

nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach Adam O'Brien has named his 22-man squad for our huge clash against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at McDonald Jones Stadium this Sunday. 

In the only changes from the team which defeated the Bulldogs last round, Bradman Best returns to the starting line-up with Enari Tuala moving back to the extended bench.

Halfback Jackson Hastings has been named in the No.7 after suffering a low-grade syndesmosis injury against the Bulldogs.

This weekend's game will coincide with our Voice for Mining Family Day as we celebrate the important role played by the mining industry in our community.

The squad will don their hi-vis jumpers to mark the occasion.

This weekend's match has also officially SOLD OUT with a bumper crowd expected to head to McDonald Jones Stadium.

NRLW action will kick-off from 12pm with the NRL fixture slated for 2:05pm
