JORDAN Kahu will fill the fullback breech for the Broncos in Canberra tomorrow night.

Kahu moves into the spot after it was confirmed Darius Boyd will need surgery on a broken thumb suffered in Wednesday’s State of Origin match.

Boyd will have the surgery this afternoon, after which it will be known how long it will be out for. Broncos’ medical staff have estimated it will be four to six weeks.

Kahu will be the custodian against the Raiders in chilly Canberra, with former Gold Coast Titan David Mead to move on to the wing.

Mead played strongly for the Wynnum Seagulls in the Intrust Super Cup last week.

The Broncos other Origin players, Josh McGuire and Matt Gillett, have both been named to back up against Canberra.
