Parramatta coach Brad Arthur has named his 21-man squad to face the nib Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium on Friday night.
Following a bye last week, Arthur has stuck with the same starting side that suffered a two-point loss at the hands of St George Illawarra in Round 16.
Tepai Moeroa returns from suspension on the bench in place of an injured Will Smith.
