Last updated:

Knights: In the game day update, Brodie Jones comes out of the side due to illness. Jermaine McEwen takes his place in the second row and Tom Cant joins the interchange bench. Dylan Lucas is out with a foot injury. Tyson Frizell is also set to come off the interchange, with Phoenix Crossland to start at lock and Jayden Brailey at hooker. After a late reshuffle last week, Dane Gagai will start at fullback and Fletcher Hunt will play centre. 

Warriors: Kurt Capewell is set to make his return from Origin duties in the centres, replacing the injured Rocco Berry (shoulder). Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad remains at least another week away in his return from injury and Taine Tuaupiki will again start at fullback. No late changes.
