The NRLW season is set to begin with the nib Newcastle Knights facing off against the Bulldogs in Sydney this Friday.
The Knights have a revamped squad for the new season, featuring several new players and led by Captain Yasmin Clydsdale.
Among the notable additions are young forwards Sienna Yeo and Jules Kirkpatrick, who will debut in this match.
However, Olivia Higgins will not participate in Round 1 due to a suspension incurred from a trial match against Canberra, where she was charged with Grade 2 Dangerous Contact.
With enthusiasm and fresh talent, the Knights aim for a strong start to the season under Clydsdale's leadership.
