Ben Hunt's demotion to reserve grade has been short-lived with the Brisbane playmaker recalled for Saturday's NRL clash with Canberra.
Hunt was sensationally dumped for the side's last start against South Sydney but is back in Wayne Bennett's 17 to face the Raiders at GIO Stadium due to Anthony Milford's shoulder injury.
After spending a week with Queensland Cup side Ipswich, the former Australian halfback has been named on the bench with Kodi Nikorima and veteran Benji Marshall to start.
Milford is expected to miss the next six weeks with a dislocated shoulder meaning Hunt has a chance to re-establish himself in the Broncos top side.
The Raiders will be boosted for the clash with the return of incumbent Australian prop Shannon Boyd from a knee problem.
Canterbury's Josh Reynolds has been named to return from his hamstring injury, setting up an intriguing clash with Warriors five-eighth Kieran Foran.
Foran - who is battling a quad injury but has been named to play - will arrive at Belmore next year, a move which has squeezed fan favourite Reynolds out of his junior club.
The Warriors will be without centre Solomone Kata due to family reasons.
