Team Update: Round 19 v Knights

Craig Bellamy has confirmed his 19-man squad for Saturday’s Round 19 clash with the Knights.

Ryan Papenhuyzen (ongoing calf tightness) drops out of Tuesday’s named squad, with Nick Meaney switching to fullback, and Jack Howarth returns following a brief spell on the sidelines with appendicitis.

Tyran Wishart and Jahrome Hughes maintain their halves combination from Round 19.

Origin representatives Stefano Utoikamanu, Harry Grant, Trent Loiero remain in the squad while Cameron Munster and Xavier Coates have been rested.

Jonah Pezet, Ativalu Lisati and Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown have all been named on an extended interchange bench after featuring for the first time at NRL level in season 2025 last week.
