The Panthers can now begin to size up their Auckland Nines opponents after the Knights named their 18-man squad earlier today.

Pool Rangitoto will see the Panthers tackle Newcastle, North Queensland and Wests Tigers on February 6 and 7 at Eden Park.

North Queensland and Wests Tigers are yet to announce their squads, although the Cowboys have already conceded champion halfback Johnathan Thurston will skip the tournament.
