Super Saturday: Knights v Storm; Dragons v Roosters; Cowboys v Bulldogs

10th minute: It's been a fairly frenetic start to the contest, with plenty of end to end attacking action. Melbourne have first points, with Nick Meaney kicking a penalty goal after Jahrome Hughes was hit late while kicking. Knights 0 - Storm 2.

Kick off: We are underway at McDonald Jones Stadium, with the Knights eager to snap a concerning recent record in Newcastle. The hosts currently sit five points outside the eight and need to string some wins together to keep their finals hopes alive. Melbourne are firmly entrenched in the top four, but require a win to keep in touch with Canberra as they chase the minor premiership. Knights 0 - Storm 0.

Pre-game: With the teams warming up on the field, Adam O'Brien has had an interesting chat with the Fox League commentary team. The Knights coach confirmed Dane Gagai will play fullback, despite being named in the centres, with young gun Fletcher Hunt shifting to the centres.

Late mail

Knights: A couple of big ins with Greg Marzhew (arm) and Leo Thompson (suspension) back on deck. Thompson's return from a four-game ban sees Tyson Frizell revert to lock, Phoenix Crossland go to hooker and Jayden Brailey to the bench. With skipper Kalyn Ponga sidelined by a foot injury, young gun Fletcher Hunt wears the No.1 jersey for the second time having played there in Round 15 against the Roosters. Newcastle will line up 1-17, with Thomas Cant the 18th man. 

Storm: A major boost for Melbourne in the 60-minute update, with Origin stars Harry Grant and Stefano Utoikamanu added to the starting line up. Nelson Asofa-Solomona drops back to the bench as a result, with Bronson Garlick reverting to 10th man. Maroons captain Cameron Munster won't play, but Trent Loiero will back up from the interchange. Fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen has failed to recover from calf tightness so Nick Meaney will fill in again. Jack Howarth has recovered from appendicitis and is the new centre and Kane Bradley comes onto the wing with last week's debutant Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown moving to 18th player.
