nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach, Adam O'Brien, has confirmed his 21-man squad for this week's Round 16 clash with North Queensland at McDonald Jones Stadium.

Kalyn Ponga has been named to make his long-awaited return at fullback, pushing Kurt Mann back to the centres.

Brodie Jones moves back to the bench, with Jack Johns making way and shuffling to the reserves.

Daniel Saifiti will back up from another strong Origin performance in the front row, with Jacob Saifiti lining up alongside him.

The rest of the side is unchanged from the one which took down the Warriors in Round 15.
