The Newcastle Knights has named a 17-man team for Saturday’s match against the Sydney Roosters at Allianz Stadium.
A number of changes have been made due to State of Origin, injury and suspension.
Jake Mamo returns from injury (back) to replace Darius Boyd, who is in camp with Queensland, while Josh Mantellato is named on the wing with James McManus shifting to centre to cover the injured Joey Leilua (throat).
The Knights are also without forwards Beau Scott, due to Origin, and Kade Snowden, due to suspension. Chris Houston shifts into the starting side while Joseph Tapine and Clint Newton join the bench.
