Knights v Tigers Round 2 NRL team list

nib Newcastle Knights coach Adam O'Brien has named his team ahead of Sunday's clash with the Wests Tigers.

The only change to the 21-man squad, following last week's win over the Warriors, is Sione Mata'utia replacing Brodie Jones on the extended bench. 

Mata'utia missed the season opener due to a medial ligament injury.

As you would have seen, Round 2 at Leichhardt Oval will proceed as planned but the venue will be closed to spectators.
