CHANGES TO KNIGHTS SQUAD AHEAD OF MANLY CLASH

Former Knight Richie Fa’aoso has only just moved to the Storm – but today he signed a two-year deal to play with Manly from 2013.

Newcastle forward Marvin Filipo will play face Fa’aoso’s future club on Saturday, after being named on the bench this afternoon.

Zeb Taia was selected in the front row for the second straight week – although he was moved to the bench just prior to kickoff against the Rabbitohs.

Filipo meanwhile made his only other first-grade appearance in round three.

Club officials say he’s been one of the Knights’ most consistent performers in the New South Wales Cup.

Filipo replaces Kyle O’Donnell, who will be rested for at least one week after suffering a concussion against South Sydney.
