nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach Adam O'Brien has named his 22-man squad for their Round 19 clash against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles at 4 Pines Park this Sunday afternoon.
With a number of players unavailable due to State of Origin duties, O'Brien has named a new-look squad set to head south to the Northern Beaches.
Kalyn Ponga, Dane Gagai and Bradman Best come out of the backline, with Fletcher Sharpe returning to fullback in his skipper's absence.
Tom Cant will make his first appearance of the year in the centres, making up a new-look centre pairing with Dylan Lucas.
Jackson Hastings will line up at halfback for what is set to be his 100th NRL game, while Mat Croker has been named on the bench for his 50th game in the red and blue jumper.
