BEN Hunt says he will play his normal game returning from injury this week despite a big change in play-making personnel.

Hunt will partner Benji Marshall in the halves, with the Broncos forced to push Kodi Nikorima to a hooker utility role because of the unavailability of Andrew McCullough.

McCullough has been left out as a precaution after suffering a heady knock last week in the win over the Tigers.

With Anthony Milford and Darius Boyd called up for State of Origin duty, coach Wayne Bennett has had to piece together a new 'spine' for the Broncos for a week.

Hunt and Marshall will start in the halves, with Travid Waddell named to begin at hooker before likely making way for the strike of Nikorima.

Jordan Kahu will be fullback, a role he has played Test level at.

Despite the chopping and changing for Saturday's match against the Warriors, Hunt said little would change in his game.

"My role doesn't really change this week," he said.

"We have got Benji coming in and he will do a great job - he has been a great player for a long time.

"My role will be just to guide the boys around as much as I can, get a good kicking game going and he can play off the back of that.

"His experience is extremely vital, especially after losing 'Macca' (McCullough) as well.

"Losing him, Kodi is going to play more of a hooker role, so it is handy having Benji come in.

"It will be a bit of experience for some young forwards we will have."

Hunt has had seven weeks out with a bad hamstring injury but said he was right to go.

The Broncos didn't need him in a 36-0 victory over the Tigers, erring on the side of caution for one more week to ensure the hamstring was right.

"I am pretty keen - I was pretty close last week," said Hunt.

"But we decided not to risk it and wait another week because we are in a pretty good position.

"We waited off until this week so I am ready to go."
