The nib Newcastle Knights NRLW squad continues to build momentum, announcing another three key signings for 2026 and beyond, with Amelia Pasikala and Damita Betham joining the squad and Grace Giampino extending her time with the Knights until 2028.
Newcastle Knights NRLW Head Coach Ben Jeffries shared his excitement around the signings.
“We are delighted all three players have signed new contracts with the Club,” Jeffries said.
“Amelia is a 21-year-old Kiwi Ferns International forward, who will have an immediate impact on our group with her explosive power, adding power and size to our forward pack.
“What is most exciting is Amelia’s potential growth, her best is yet to come and will look forward to her adding many more games in Knights colours to her 15 NRLW appearances.
“Damita is a young, electrifying athlete, ready to take on the NRLW challenge with her speed, power and agility, signing a three-year contact to join the Knights, after a highly successful Rugby 7s career.
“Grace returns after an outstanding 2025 NRLW debut season, bringing her power and aggression to push the senior players on weekly basis, rewarded with a contract extension until the end of 2028.”
