The New Zealand Warriors have named an unchanged side for Saturday's Round 14 clash with the Newcastle Knights at Hunter Stadium.

Few would've expected any adjustments after their shock drubbing of the table-topping Brisbane Broncos last Saturday, Issac Luke to retain his starting hooker spot for what will be his 200th NRL match.

Sitting just two points outside of the top eight, coach Andrew McFadden stressed the need for continuity.

"It’s really good to have that continuity for a change being able to name the same said," he said.

"But it’s a really difficult road trip going to Newcastle and we’re going to need everyone on deck.

"They’re a really aggressive side with their speed. We’ve got to make sure we’re ready to go because if we’re not we’re going to be in for tough night.”
