Last updated: 8/4/2025 3:10:26 AM

Knights: Jules Kirkpatrick moves from the bench to the starting side after back-rower Evah McEwen was suspended for a hair pull. Joeli Morris is the new face on the bench. No other changes for Ben Jeffries' side after last week's big win over the Eels.

Raiders: Coach Darrin Borthwick has resisted the urge to swing the axe after a tough start to the season. Co-captain Zahara Temara is straight back into the side after missing last week's game with a hamstring injury, with Georgia Thomas dropping back to the reserves. The only other change sees Grace Kemp revert to the bench and Sophie Holyman named in the starting side, but there could be another late switch between the two, as there was last week.
