Knights v Panthers Round 7 NRL Team List
nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach, Adam O'Brien, has named his 22-man squad for our home clash against Penrith Panthers at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Tyson Frizell will lead the Knights onto the field replacing the injured Jayden Brailey as captain, Phoenix Crossland moves to hooker and Tyson Gamble returns from concussion at five eighth.
Mat Croker has been named to start at lock forward, with plenty of options available on the bench and extended squad, including powerhouse forward Jack Hetherington who will make his 50th National Rugby League appearance against the club he debuted for in Round 7, 2018.
Kids go free, thanks to McDonalds! Our 50-50 raffle partner is Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW, with volunteers to be on site raising much needed funds for this worthwhile charity from 3pm.
Gates and Fan Zone opens at 12.45pm, with Jersey Flegg v Panthers at 1pm, NSW Cup v Panthers at 3pm and NRL at 5.30pm.
