The Toyota Forklift Raiders have named their squad for the round four match against the Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Josh Papalii has been named to make his return after missing the first three games of the season with a calf injury. Papalii has been named in the starting side at prop, with Pasami Saulo moving back to the bench and Trey Mooney into the extended squad.

Zac Woolford will also play his first NRL match of the season, with the Raiders hooker coming in for the injured Danny Levi, who is set to miss 8-10 weeks with a fractured jaw.

James Schiller retains his place on the wing this week, following the withdrawal of Nick Cotric last week with a hamstring injury.
