Team List: NRL Round 10 vs Knights

Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall has named his 22-man squad for Saturday’s Round 10 match against Newcastle Knights at Scully Park, Tamworth.

There are a handful of changes to the side which lost to the Bulldogs, including the return of Api Koroisau, who slots straight back into hooker pushing Jake Simpkin to the bench.

Jayden Sullivan returns to the side at halfback replacing Aidan Sezer (suspension), after spending the past three weeks in the NSW Cup with Wests Magpies.

Starford To’a has been named in the centres after returning from an ankle injury in the NSW Cup last weekend, with Brent Naden shifting to the wing.

The other change sees Isaiah Papali’i move from the second row to lock, with John Bateman reverting to his role as an edge forward.

It will be the second time Wests Tigers have played the Knights at Scully Park and the club’s fifth trip to Tamworth in seven seasons.
