Returning to the NRL and Knight’s co-captain Jeremy Smith is in doubt for what would be his 200th first grade game this Saturday, when Newcastle takes on the Broncos.
After suffering a concussion against the Tigers, he’s now managing an ongoing knee complaint.
Danny Levi will remain on the sideline with a back injury, meaning utility Tyler Randall is again likely to start in the hooking role.
