Knights v Roosters Round 16 NRL Team List

nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach, Adam O'Brien, has named his 22-man squad for our battle against the Sydney Roosters at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Lachlan Fitzgibbon returns from a calf injury to replace NSW Blues back-rower Tyson Frizell in the starting team.

Enari Tuala replaces winger Greg Marzhew who was not considered for selection after failing to meet team standards.

Knights Director of Football Peter Parr said, “Greg missed the team bus early on Sunday morning, which is a clear breach of team standards and as a result he will not play this weekend.”

Don’t miss our Premiership-winning NRLW team signing session with the Grand Final trophy from 1.30pm in the Fan Zone. 

This week’s 50-50 Raffle partner is Breast Cancer Network Australia, a leading breast cancer consumer organisation, dedicated to connecting, supporting, advocating for, and informing those affected by breast cancer.
