The Newcastle Knights and Canberra Raiders have finalised their line-ups for their Round 10 Telstra Premiership clash at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Mass changes for the Knights with Brendon Elliot out and Dane Gagai moving to fullback. Joe Wardle takes Gagai's place in the centres. In the forwards, Lachlan Fitzgibbon and Josh King start, with Luke Yates dropping to the interchange and Tyler Randell also joining the bench. Sam Stone and Jack Stockwell drop out of the squad.
In contrast, the Raiders have only made one positional change, with Joseph Tapine starting in the back row and Sia Soliola dropping back to the bench in an otherwise unchanged side.
