Last updated:

Knights: A late change for the Knights with prop Tayla Predebon replaced by Simone Karpani in the starting side with Grace Giampino coming onto the bench. Yasmin Clydsdale becomes the sixth player to feature in 50 NRLW games when she leads the Knights out. A head knock to Botille Vette Welsh has seen Lilly-Ann White move to fullback, with Mercedez Taulelei-Siala in line for her NRLW debut. Newcastle can earn a home semi-final with a victory in the final regular season game of the year. 

Dragons: Tyra Ekepati comes in at centre in jersey No.18 in place of Indie Bostock, who will remain in the squad as 18th player. The loss of Ella Koster (head knock) sees Hannah Southwell shift to the second row for the clash against younger sister Jesse. Trinity Tauaneai will start at lock, with Sara Sautia returning to the interchange after missing last week's game due to illness.
