NRLW Team List | Round 8
nib Newcastle Knights NRLW Head Coach Ben Jeffries has selected his squad for Saturday afternoon's Round 8 clash against the Wests Tigers at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Looking to kick start their season as the run home begins, Jeffries has made a few changes to the team which took on the Raiders on Sunday afternoon.
Lilly-Ann White has been named to make her long-awaited return at fullback, after suffering a syndesmosis injury in Round 1.
Her return sees Lucy Spain shifted to the interchange, with Botille Vette-Welsh moving back to the reserves.
Charley Lahmert and Emily McArthur have each been named on the bench, with both players set to make their NRLW debuts and become Knights #71 and #72 respectively.
McArthur, a local junior, will also become the first Knights player to complete the full pathway from Lisa Fiaola Cup to the NRLW.
Sienna Yeo has also been moved into the starting team, with Fane Finau moved back to the reserves list.
See the squad below:
