Wests Tigers team line-up has been confirmed for Friday night's Round 20 match against Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium.
www.weststigers.com.auI don’t have live access right now, but here’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage:
-
Wests Tigers vs Knights occurred in Round 6 of the 2026 NRL season with a strong Tigers performance. The final score was Wests Tigers 42, Newcastle Knights 22, at Campbelltown Sports Stadium, delivering the Tigers a drought-breaking win there and moving them up the ladder. This result highlighted a dominant late- and edge-scoring effort from the Tigers, including a hat-trick from Sunia Turuva in the match.[1][4]
-
In that game, the Knights faced lineup adjustments and some late momentum from Newcastle, but the Tigers maintained control, extending their winning streak and showing improved form after a rough patch earlier in the season.[4][1]
-
For broader context, prior encounters between these teams have often been competitive, with the Knights historically holding an edge in several head-to-heads, though current form can flip quickly in the NRL.[2][5]
