The nib Newcastle Knights have confirmed Daniel Saifiti will return from a knee injury in Sunday's clash with Manly.
The NSW Origin prop will be placed straight back into the starting side, after brother Jacob volunteered to shift back to the bench.
Jacob will take Brodie Jones' place on the interchange, with the rookie named at 19th man.
Coach Adam O'Brien - brought to you by Allara Learning - has also elected to name Starford To'a on the wing.
To'a retains his place in the side after having a COVID-hold lifted earlier today.
