Knights v Tigers Round 20 NRL Team List

nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach Adam O'Brien has named his 22-man squad for our clash against the Wests Tigers at McDonald Jones Stadium this Friday night. 

Dane Gagai returns to the starting side after missing out on the Bulldogs clash due to injury. 

Back in front of the red and blue faithful, Knights Captain, Kalyn Ponga, will run out for his 100th game in Knights colours.

The two-time Danny Buderus Medallist made his Club debut back in Round 1 of 2018.

Also, NSW Blues contingent Bradman Best and Jacob Saifiti have both been named to back up from State of Origin duty at this stage.

The rest of the team is unchanged from the victory over the Bulldogs in Round 18.

Gates open at McDonald Jones Stadium from 5:15pm while NSW Cup kicks off beforehand against the Western Suburbs Magpies from 5:30pm.

Our match day sponsor for Round 20 is Brydens Lawyers and our charity partner for this week is the Mark Hughes Foundation.
