DARIUS Boyd says he is ready to perform in his childhood position of centre as he prepares for the Broncos' final trial of season 2020.

The Broncos face the Gold Coast Titans tomorrow night at Redcliffe, with Boyd to start at left centre.

Coach Anthony Seibold has already said Boyd's tremendous work in the pre-season has him in the box seat to take the position for the round-one blockbuster against the Cowboys on February 13.

And Boyd, who is in peak physical condition, said the change of position - he played fullback and centre last year - was motivating him.

"I am enjoying it - it has been a different challenge," he said.

"I played a lot of my junior footy in the centres and have played a few games there in the NRL too.

"I have trained the whole pre-season there and that has given me a lot of confidence.

"I feel fit, strong and fast - I just have to get through the bumps and bruises now."

Boyd said it was difficult to not look past tomorrow night's trial and see the looming battle with the Cowboys in Townsville.

The match will be the first at Norths Queensland's new stadium, and will be jam packed with fans.

"You have to focus on this trial and you are getting some camaraderie in playing with the guys you will be playing with in round one," he said.

"But round one is obviously exciting.

"The local derby with the Cowboys is always a massive event and to now have that new stadium there…that I think is already sold out.

"I know the boys are excited and it is going to be a big spectacle."
