Knights: A late reshuffle with Kurt Mann replacing the injured Kalyn Ponga at fullback, Brodie Jones starting at centre, Mitch Barnett moving to the second row and Sauaso Sue starting at lock.

Josh King joins the interchange with Tex Hoy the 18th man. Braydon Musgrove dropped off the extended bench an hour before kick-off.

Mitchell Pearce (pectoral) and Hymel Hunt (hamstring) will make their return from injury but Bradman Best will miss 6-8 weeks with a syndesmosis injury.

Veteran prop David Klemmer is listed on the interchange as he makes his way back from a two-match suspension but a late change could be on the cards.

Matt Croker was omitted from the squad along with Ponga when it was reduced to 19.

Christian Tuipulotu and Jake Trbojevic were the two players omitted from the extended squad 24 hours before kick-off.

Toafofoa Sipley has been cleared to play after suffering a head knock in his last match.

Tom Trbojevic returns at fullback after being rested last week in a move that will send Reuben Garrick back to the wing and Brad Parker to the centres. Moses Suli is back on the reserves list.

Sea Eagles captain Daly Cherry-Evans will play his 250th NRL game.
