Newcastle and Melbourne have announced their squads for this Saturday's trial clash in Albury, with new recruits headlining inclusions for either side.

The Knights will welcome Tyson Frizell for his first game under Adam O'Brien, with Jayden Brailey and David Klemmer also notable ins for Newcastle.

Frizell will start in the No.11 jumper for the Knights with Brailey set to line up as rake, while Mitchell Pearce, Bradman Best and Daniel Saifiti headline the starters.

Storm fans will get a good taste of life without Cameron Smith, with Harry Grant set to play his first game in purple in over a year, while new Canterbury recruit Reimis Smith has been handed a starting role in the No.3 jumper.
