BROWN WIELDS AXE AHEAD OF MANLY CLASH

Knights coach Nathan Brown has been true to his word, wielding the axe following last weekend’s loss to the Tigers.

Lachlan Fitzgibbon returns to the starting side after recovering from an elbow injury ahead of schedule, while Jacob Saifiti and Aidan Guerra join the bench.

The forwards weren’t the only ones being shuffled around, Hymel Hunt moves to his preferred position in the centres at the expense of Jesse Ramien, who was dropped altogether.

Kurt Mann is on the wing, replaced at five eighth by Mason Lino, while Connor Watson starts at hooker in place of Danny Levi.
