Benji Marshall will again fill the Brisbane five-eighth spot vacated by Anthony Milford for Saturday’s NRL clash against Sydney Roosters.
Milford has failed to recover from a head knock suffered in Queensland’s State of Origin I loss to NSW in Brisbane on Wednesday night.
Veteran playmaker Marshall returned from a wrist injury against the Warriors last week for his second game of the season with Milford in Origin camp
Utility Kodi Nikorima was out of the selection frame due to a shoulder injury from the 28-10 loss in Auckland.
Milford’s Maroons teammates Matt Gillett, Darius Boyd, Sam Thaiday and Corey Oates will line up for the Broncos against the Roosters at Allianz Stadium.
