The Knights are looking to make it nine wins in their past 10 games at home when they host an injury-ravaged Roosters.
Newcastle coach Adam O’Brien hasn’t made any changes to the team that thrashed the Dragons last week.

However, Greg Marzhew is getting closer to returning from a wrist injury and could be a late inclusion after being named on the extended bench.
The Roosters squad was decimated in a brutal clash against the Bulldogs last week with James Tedesco and Sam Walker both out this week with concussion.
Joey Manu is the new fullback and Luke Keary shifts to halfback while Connor Watson a surprise selection in the no. 6 jersey.
In game 300, Michael Jennings will start in the centres while Fetalaiga Pauga replaced Dom Young (suspended) on the wing.
Nat Butcher is back in the side and he’ll start in the second row while hooker Zach Dockar-Clay will make his Roosters debut via the bench.
