Newcastle Knights NYC coach Mick Crawley has named an unchanged 17-man team for Saturday's semi final match against the New Zealand Warriors at Allianz Stadium.
The Knights were defeated by the St George Illawarra Dragons in week one of the finals, but the competition's minor premiers have another opportunity against the Warriors to progress to the Holden Cup qualifying final.
It will be the third time the two sides have met in season 2014, with the Warriors recording a 34-22 win over the Knights in Round 12 at Mount Smart Stadium before the Knights won 40-34 in Round 23 at Hunter Stadium.
