NRL Team Lists: Round 6 Team News and Changes
Get ready for a thrilling Round 6 in the NRL! This weekend brings significant changes across several teams, from injury woes to exciting returns. We'll break down the key team lists and the impactful shifts that will shape the upcoming matches.
Newcastle Knights Face Injury Crisis
The Newcastle Knights head into their clash against the Wests Tigers with a depleted squad. Injuries have sidelined key players Jack Cogger (finger), Jack Hetherington, Adam Elliott, and James Schiller (concussion). This forces a significant reshuffle, with Phoenix Crossland moving to halfback and Kyle McCarthy stepping onto the wing. The positive is the return of Kai Pearce-Paul from suspension and the club debuts of Matt Arthur and Tyrone Thompson from the bench. This is a test of depth for the Knights.
Manly's Aloiai Returns, Sharks' Duo Recovers
Manly Sea Eagles welcome back Josh Aloiai to their starting lineup after his injury absence, pushing Toafofoa Sipley to the bench. Meanwhile, the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks see the return of Teig Wilton (illness) and Siosifa Talakai (concussion), bolstering their squad. Corey Waddell's suspension, however, leaves a gap in the Sea Eagles lineup.
Other Notable Changes Across the NRL
The NRL is buzzing with activity! Other notable changes across several teams include: The Sydney Roosters dropping Chad Townsend; Jarome Luai's return for the Wests Tigers; the South Sydney Rabbitohs making a bold move with Latrell Mitchell at five-eighth due to injuries; and the Gold Coast Titans welcoming back Phillip Sami and Sam Verrills. Several teams saw players return from injury or suspension, while others dealt with significant absences.
