The Brisbane Broncos players are happy to see Melbourne Storm and Kangaroos fullback Billy Slater return to NRL this year.
Slater has been tipped to return against the Broncos on Thursday night after missing out for more than one year because of shoulder injury.
The 33‑year‑old feared he might never play again after only managing eight games in the past two seasons, but to his credit he has fought back from the brink of retirement.
A return on Thursday night will put him up against Queensland Origin rival Darius Boyd, with the match‑up shaping to define who will wear the No.1 jersey for the Maroons in 2017.
The Storm will take on the Broncos at 9.05pm Thursday.
