nib Newcastle Knights NRL Head Coach Adam O'Brien has named his 22-man squad for our battle against the Canberra Raiders at GIO Stadium this Saturday.
Daniel Saifiti comes out of the team with a thigh injury with brother Jacob taking his spot in the front-row.
Brodie Jones joins the interchange bench and will make his 50th appearance in the NRL against the Raiders.
The rest of the team is unchanged from the side which defeated Melbourne last start.
The Knights in conjunction with the NRL will celebrate Women in League Round as we pay tribute to all the many women who play a crucial role in our game.
