Instead Juan Crous moves to blindside flanker and Jon Skurr returns at Number 8, with Adam Newton moving to openside.
Making his first start of the season at lock is former ‘Donny’ player Ed Norris, with Glen Townson moving to the bench where he is joined by summer signing Freeman Payne.
He has been replaced at centre by Chris Briers, while another summer capture, Jan Van DeVenter, slots in on the left wing. Also on the bench are Dave Livesey and Chris Leck.
Winger Chris Hall will have a late fitness test; if he fails it Payne will start at 14 and Steve Nutt will join the bench.
The Knights make eight changes to the side that lost at Northampton last week with rests given to top try-scorer Justin Bishop and skipper Glen Wilson.
Anthony Carter returns at full back, with Wes Davies taking Bishop’s place on the wing. Tom Luke gets a first start, at inside centre with Spencer Davey moving to outside.
Ben Jones reclaims his place at scrum half, while in the pack John Rawson and Chris Planchant, who was at Waterloo last season with Payne and Van DeVenter and was a summer signing target for the Tigers, get starts with Bryn Griffiths taking over from the injured Sean Tomes. Hooker Steve Boden captains the side in Wilson’s absence.
