Round 23 team list: Debutant named on bench
Nathan Brown has named his side to face the Penrith Panthers this Saturday.
The nib Newcastle Knights have resisted the urge to rest Kalyn Ponga after the fullback recovered from an ankle issue better than expected this week.
He will wear the No.1 this weekend in an unchanged side from last week's loss to the Warriors.
The only changes comes via the extended bench with backrower Brodie Jones included in jersey No.20.
