MATCH REPORT:Knights beat Manly 26-24 in a thriller
EARLIER: NSW prop Daniel Saifiti returns for the Newcastle Knights in what shapes as a crucial clash against the Manly Sea Eagles at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday.
Saifiti comes back from injury and starts next to State of Origin partner David Klemmer.
This move means Saifiti's twin brother Jacob goes back to the bench and Brodie Jones drops out.
The Knights (15 points) can jump from eighth to sixth on the NRL ladder if they defeat the ninth-placed Sea Eagles (12).
Newcastle held off Manly 14-12 last month.
