Penrith Panthers v Newcastle Knights
Pepper Stadium - Saturday 3:00pm

The Penrith Panthers and Newcastle Knights have named their final teams ahead of this afternoon's clash at Pepper Stadium. It's an important game, with both sides facing off to avoid the wooden spoon.

The Panthers have a number of changes. Dean Whare will return from injury to line up in the centres in jersey 21. His inclusion moves Lewis Brown to the back row, with Tyrone Peachey into the halves in the absence of Jamie Soward. Tupou Sopoaga moves to the starting lineup with Bryce Cartwright and Sika Manu unavailable, and Sione Katoa and Chris Smith will both make their debut from the interchange bench.

The Newcastle Knights are 1-17, with Kurt Gidley playing his final game for the club.
