Knights: The home side is unchanged. Caitlan Johnston accepted a one-match ban for a high shot on Tuesday with Queenslander Felila Kia coming into the side in an otherwise unchanged line-up to the side that beat the Eels last week. Laishon Albert-Jones played on after being lifted by Kennedy Cherrington and is available to play with Viena Tinao to be 18th player.
Titans: A late positional change in a trend for the visitors with Lauren Brown moving to the bench and Brittany Breayley-Nati promoted to the starting side. There are no other late changes. Origin stars Emily Bass and Jaime Chapman return to the backline after missing last week through injury while veteran Karina Brown retains her spot on the wing.
