nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach, Adam O'Brien, has named his 21-man squad for Thursday night's massive clash with the Gold Coast at Sunshine Coast Stadium.
With David Klemmer missing due to suspension, Sauaso Sue has been drafted into the starting side to set the tone up front.
Tyson Frizell comes back into the side from a suspension of his own, pushing Brodie Jones back to the bench.
There are no further changes to the squad which beat Canterbury last weekend.
