Darius Boyd is expected to retain his position at fullback for the Anzac Test, with Australia coach Mal Meninga keen to see Billy Slater play more NRL games, before he makes an international comeback.
Slater has made an impressive return for the Melbourne Storm, sparking speculation he could force his way back into the Kangaroos starting line-up for the match against New Zealand in Canberra on May 5.
Meninga said that it is up in the air, but his immediate reaction is that Darius probably deserves to stay there for the time being and Billy finds his feet in the National Rugby League.
Meninga said Boyd's man-of-the-match performance in last year's Four Nations would make it hard for Slater to take back his No 1 test jersey.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs will face the Broncos at 9.05pm tonight.
Tomorrow, the Roosters will meet the Sea Eagles at 7pm while the Cowboys will take on the Rabbitohs at 9.05pm.
