LeagueNews.co | Nick Loken

This weekend's Round 6 clash against the Knights marks the Tigers' second visit to McDonald Jones Stadium in as many weeks, having played there in Magic Round just seven days earlier.

Head Coach Brett Kimmorley has named a settled squad for the Tigers' return to Newcastle, with 18-year-old forward Lucyannah Luamanu-Leiataua retaining her place in the side after a promising debut against the Roosters.

The Tigers are aiming to build on the encouraging patches of play shown throughout the opening rounds, this time looking to deliver a complete 70-minute performance.

The Knights welcome back hooker Evah McEwen from suspension, marking the only change to the side that defeated the Cowboys in Townsville. Jules Kirkpatrick shifts to the bench, while Joeli Morris is listed among the reserves.

Led by captain Yasmin Clydsdale and star halfback Jesse Southwell, the defending premiers have started the season strong with four wins out of five matches.
