NEWCASTLE Knights coach Wayne Bennett is confident Jarrod Mullen will line up on Sunday against the Manly Sea Eagles at Brookvale.
The star five-eighth was forced from the field late in the second half of Monday night's 42-10 win against Wests Tigers with a wrist complaint.
Bennett today named Mullen in an unchanged 18 for the round two encounter against Manly.
"I brought him off more as a precaution and I just wanted to keep Tyrone (Roberts) out there for a while,” Bennett said of Mullen.
