The nib Newcastle Knights Senior Representative teams have been named for Round 22 of the 2026 season.

This week looks a little different for our Senior teams, with only the male sides in action due to a competition-wide bye round in the NSW Women's Premiership.

NSW Cup will take to the Newcastle Permanent Centre of Excellence on Saturday afternoon, with the third placed Knights set to host the second placed North Sydney Bears in a top-four showdown at 1pm.

Meanwhile, the Jersey Flegg Cup side are set to travel across the Pacific to Fiji, with a clash against the Kaiviti Silktails awaiting at Govind Park in the village of Ba, kicking off at 10am AEST.
