Wests Tigers Intrust Super Premiership Coach David Heath has named his team to take on the Newcastle Knights this Saturday afternoon for their Round 9 clash.

Kickoff for the match is at 2:15pm AEST as part of a three-game program at Leichhardt Oval, with the Club’s Holden Cup and NRL teams to feature later on in the day.

After a last-start win over the Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles, Heath has named a strong side to take on the Knights this Saturday with a number of key changes to note.

Justin Hunt returns to the side at fullback, with Watson Heleta shifting back to the centres where he played for the Junior Kiwis earlier in his career. Captain Nathan Milone moves to the wing, while Jack Littlejohn will partner Jordan Rankin in the halves.

Wesley Lolo has also earned a starting spot in the front row after a string of impressive performances, while Jordan Grant has been named to return from injury off the bench.
