Knights v Roosters Round 4 NRLW Team List

nib Newcastle Knights NRLW Head Coach Ronald Griffiths has named his 22-woman squad for our Round 4 top-of-the-table clash with the Sydney Roosters this Sunday at Allianz Stadium.

Kiana Takairangi and Simone Karpani have both been recalled after missing Sunday’s gritty 18-16 victory over the Parramatta Eels.

A late withdrawal on Sunday due to COVID, Takairangi will line up on the wing in place of Autumn-Rain Stephens-Daly who suffered a knee injury in the win.

Karpani’s return from concussion sees Mackenzie Weale shift back to the interchange bench.

Jakiya Whitfeld retains her place on the other wing after making her NRLW debut in the win over the Eels.

Sunday’s match pits the competition’s two undefeated sides against each other, with the Roosters holding onto first position thanks to a superior points differential.

Kick off is at 1.10pm on Sunday. The match will be broadcast on Nine, Foxtel and Kayo Sports.
