Nib Newcastle Knights coach Nathan Brown has confirmed his side to face Brisbane at McDonald Jones Stadium.
In a cruel blow for the Knights, Kalyn Ponga has been ruled out with a calf issue.
He has been replaced by Kurt Mann which means Mason Lino comes into the starting side.
In a boost for the Knights, David Klemmer will make his return from a wrist injury.
