Underway and Jacob Saifiti takes the first hit up for Newcastle
Hello and welcome to LeagueUnlimited's coverage of Sunday Football and to start we are in Newcastle as the Knights look to get back in the winners circle against the Eels. In team news, Jacob Saifiti starts for his brother Daniel, while Simi Sasagi is into the 17 for Sauaso Sue, who is 18th man. For the Eels, Brad Arthur has bizarrely decided to move the Dylan Brown, the form 5/8th of the competition, to centre to accommodate his son Jakob. Bryce Cartwright moves into the 17 as a result. Kickoff about 5 minutes away
