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

Knights: 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Fletcher Sharpe 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Greg Marzhew 6. Jack Cogger 7. Phoenix Crossland 8. Daniel Saifiti 9. Jayden Brailey 10. Leo Thompson 11. Tyson Frizell 12.

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.
