The nib Newcastle Knights have named Bradman Best to make his return from injury in Friday's game against the Gold Coast.
Coach Adam O'Brien - brought to you by Allara Learning - has named Best at centre, Edrick Lee on the wing and Gehamat Shibasaki on the extended bench.
Sione Mata'utia comes into the starting team in place of Lachlan Fitzgibbon.
The backrower has been given the week off as part of managing his loads as he looks to settle a groin complaint.
Kurt Mann returns from suspension in the No.9, with Chris Randall and Brodie Jones on the bench.
Randall: THAT run, No.9 influences
