The nib Newcastle Knights Senior Representative teams have been named for the first week of the 2026 Finals Series. With the NSW Women's Premiership side earning a well-deserved week off after securing the minor premiership last week, just our NSW Cup side are in action this weekend. The Knights (3rd) will travel to Jubilee Stadium in Sydney for a clash with the North Sydney Bears (2nd), with the winning side set for a Major Semi-Final with Penrith.
