nib Newcastle Knights coach Adam O'Brien has named Tex Hoy on the wing ahead of Sunday's game against Parramatta at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Hoy replaces Edrick Lee who is sidelined with a broken arm.
Aidan Guerra comes into the starting side in place of Sione Mata’utia, who will sit-out the match.
The backrower suffered his first concussion of the year with the Club taking a proactive approach towards his health by resting him.
Starford To'a joins the bench in jersey No.14 and Brodie Jones also comes onto the bench in the other changes to the squad.
Every Angle, Every Call: 'That is special!'
