nib Newcastle Knights coach Nathan Brown has confirmed his side to face Parramatta at Bankwest Stadium.
In a shake-up to the starting side, Danny Levi will begin the game at hooker.
This means Connor Watson shifts to the bench.
Levi comes into the NRL side following the omission of James Gavet (hamstring) from the extended bench on Friday.
Beau Fermor and Jamie Buhrer drop off the extended bench.
