The Knights and Titans have both confirmed their final 17 ahead of their Round 2 NRL Telstra Premiership clash at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Knights are as named on Tuesday, with Brendan Elliot at fullback for the injured Dylan Phythian in an otherwise unchanged line-up from the team that lost to the Warriors in Round 1.
Titans rookie Tyronne Roberts-Davis will make his NRL debut on the wing in place of William Zillman, while Chris McQueen starts at centre in place of the injured Dan Sarginson (knee), with Karl Lawton starting at hooker and Joe Greenwood starting in the second row. Tyrone Roberts drops back to the bench, with Eddy Pettybourne moving into the 17.
