Show Preview
Round 20 of the NRL kicks off with the Newcastle Knights taking on the Wests Tigers at McDonald Jones Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores from 8pm AEST.
After a week off with the bye, Newcastle centre Dane Gagai (foot) will return while fellow outside back Hymel Hunt (knee) is also in contention for a recall after being listed in the reserves. Bradman Best and Jacob Saifiti are on Blues duty.
Alex Twal has served a one-game ban for dangerous contact while Brent Naden could return from a minor shoulder injury after being named in the reserves.
Api Koroisau (jaw) is set to make an early comeback but Luke Brooks (hamstring) is still a couple of weeks away.
This is a dangerous game for Newcastle. However, the Knights should have far too much class in their side against a Tigers side which has been battling in recent weeks. Knights by 18
