NRL Late Mail: Round 26

Knights v Sharks, Sunday at McDonald Jones Stadium

Knights: Big changes confirmed again on Sunday with Jackson Hastings (ankle) failing to recover in time. Lachlan Fitzgibbon (shoulder) and Kurt Mann are also out. Adam Clune again takes over at halfback while former Bulldog Fa'amanu Brown joins the bench for a club debut. Brodie Jones will be 18th man.

Sharks: There are no further changes for the visitors after coach Craig Fitzgibbon confirmed on Saturday that star playmaker Nicho Hynes will be rested due to a quad injury that flared up after training. "At this stage of the season it's a risky ball game to throw him out there so we'll take the safe step there," Fitzgibbon said. Matt Moylan will come into the halves. Jesse Colquhoun comes onto the bench.
