Veteran prop Jordan McLean returns after a few weeks out with a hamstring problem with Harrison Edwards pushed onto the bench.

Jacob Saifiti (calf) has again been left out of the squad, but Kai Pearce-Paul (shin) is close to making a return and has been named as a reserve, giving Adam O’Brien a few more days to decide on his fitness. Otherwise, the Knights coach has named the same 1-17 that defeated the Dolphins in the final round.
