The likes of Dylan Brown, Mitchell Moses and Reagan Campbell-Gillard will feature for the first time in 2023, while J'maine Hopgood returns from NRL All Stars duties to make his maiden Eels appearance.

The Knights have also named a strong line-up, featuring a new-look halves pairing of Kalyn Ponga and Jackson Hastings.
