Freshly re-signed Brisbane utility Kodi Nikorima will play fullback in Thursday’s NRL clash against Canterbury, coach Wayne Bennett has confirmed.

Nikorima signed a three-year deal with the Broncos earlier in the week and has been guaranteed a spot in the halves next season, with Ben Hunt moving to St George Illawarra.

But the 23-year-old will have to be content with remaining Brisbane’s Mr. Fix-It until then, with Bennett throwing him into the No.1 jersey ahead of captain Darius Boyd’s return from injury next week.
