Knights

Kostjasyn, who grew up on the Central Coast before a stint in Melbourne, returns to the club he played 32-games for after his debut in 2010. 

“I’m looking forward to getting to the club and seeing all of the young guys tear in and improve on what they’ve built this year,” Kostjasyn said in a statement released by the Knights.

“It’s an exciting time and there’s going to be some hard work.

“It’s been seven years since I’ve lived close to family and friends, so I’m looking forward to coming back.”

Sims is set to miss one match if he pleads guilty or is found guilty at the judiciary, due to having 30 carryover points to his name.

Earlier, Dragons duo Jason Nightingale and Leeson Ah Mau and Cowboys hooker Jake Granville were hit with match review charges but all three can avoid suspensions with early pleas.

Named at lock, Taylor shifted to hooker in the second half when Matt Ballin (concussion) was ruled out of the game and certainly made an impact.

Taylor set up two of the Tigers' three tries including Luke Brooks' match-winner in the 69th minute – earning the team's Players' Player as a result in just his second game with the club. 

As veteran utility Dene Halatau reaches the twilight of his career – a player who the Tigers have depended on for the most part since 2003 – they will certainly find comfort in Taylor's arrival following his show-stealing performance.

Ballin said it was only natural for him to vie for the club's top hooker billing after nine NRL seasons at the Sea Eagles but was ultimately happy to do what's best for the Tigers.

With Robbie Farah (concussion) unavailable to face the Knights, Ballin has been named on the bench for the Tigers just one Intrust Super Premiership game back from a knee injury following an almost nine-month lay-off. 

The 20-year old twins, who both debuted in Round 1 this season and remain eligible to play in the Under 20s competition, were signed until the end of season 2017.

This week the Saifiti brothers signed for an additional year, keeping them at the club until at least the end of the 2018 season.

"Daniel and Jacob have been in our system for some time now and we are delighted to secure them at the Club long term," coach Nathan Brown said.

"They have both impressed this year and we know they will only continue to improve.
