nib Newcastle Knights NRLW Head Coach Ben Jeffries has named a squad off 22 for their Sunday afternoon clash against the St George Illawarra Dragons at McDonald Jones Stadium.
In team news, Botille Vette Welsh comes out of the squad due to concussion. Lilly-Ann White moves to fullback.
Mercedez Taulelei-Siala has been named to make her NRLW debut on the wing.
Taulelei-Siala has represented Queensland Under 19's, Australian Schoolgirls and Samoa all before the age of 19.
Furthermore, our legendary NRLW Captain Yasmin Clydsdale is set lead the team out for a very special milestone for the decorated forward.
Yasmin is set to become the sixth player in NRLW history to notch 50 games after making her debut in 2020.
Come on down and be part of Yasmin's 50th game and support our girls in their last game of the regular season. Tickets here.
