nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach Justin Holbrook has named his 22-man squad for Sunday afternoon's Indigenous Round clash against the Gold Coast Titans at McDonald Jones Stadium.

Bradman Best and Phoenix Crossland have both been named to make their returns this weekend, after missing last week's win over Canberra.

Their returns see Fletcher Hunt and Harrison Graham return to the six man bench, with Diesel Hagan and Toby Winter shuffling back to the reserves list.

Pasami Saulo has also been named to make his return, for what will be his first game since sustaining a foot injury.

The remainder of the squad is unchanged from the one which defeated the Raiders 30-24 on Sunday afternoon.
