Knights v Cowboys Round 11 NRL team list

nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach Adam O'Brien has named his 21-man squad to take on the North Queensland Cowboys this Thursday at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

The 17 players named are mostly unchanged from the side which took on the Tigers at Suncorp Stadium to open last weekend's Magic Round festivities in Brisbane.

The only change is Brayden Musgrove is set to make his return on the wing in place of Hymel Hunt.

Blake Green has been named on the extended bench in jersey No.21, leaving the door ajar for the 34-year-old to return from a rib injury in Townsville.

Gehamat Shibasaki, Josh King and young gun Simi Sasagi make up the remainder of the extended bench.
