Hinton - In great form and unlucky not to still be in firstgrade
Gordon - not having a great year after getting some firstgrade early on
Franze - best performer and top tryscorer in the side - should be in firstgrade
Hession - having a good year
Johnson - first game at the Knights for a giant kiwi winger who came down from the cowboys young guns a few weeks ago - has been in hot form in the Newcastle comp
Karawana - first game back from injury after playing firstgrade early this season
Dureau - top form in recent weeks
Natusch - re-signed by the club this week
Seu Seu - probably up to firstgrade - replaced by Thurston
Laban - great season
Hartman - former winger having about his 10th game in the forwards
Steel - 5/8 last week - small for a backrower
Brown - back to his junior position of lock and playing well after dicking around all sorts of positions in firstgrade - and better for it.
Thurston
Ling
Larry Tuafua
Sorrensen
Willie Tupou
The Knights have been attacking well through wingers Aku Uate who was injured in the NSW residents game, and Willie Pole'o who is playing for country in the quad series against Jim Beam cup side this week (Pole'o started the season playing for Cessnock and was in the country squad before joining the Knights) - one of them is replaced by a 193cm 96kg Islander named Kurt Johnson who came down from the cowboys a month ago and has been on fire for the Rosellas in the Newcastle comp.
The forwards are all 22 or under except for Willie Tupou who is back from injury.
