Forward Tariq Sims is finally back from suspension and will make his Newcastle debut. Sims will replace Jospeh Tapine, while James McManus is back in with Sione Mata’utia dropping to 18th man.
The Dragons are unchanged from the Sea Eagles game and will be out for another surprise win. St George Illawarra’s defence against Manly was excellent and they will need the same kind of intensity to stop the Knights.
