After being a game day withdrawal in Round 3, Zac Laybutt has been named to return for Friday’s blockbuster XXXX Derby Showdown with the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.
Laybutt suffered an ankle injury at Captain’s Run prior to the victory over the Dragons and was ruled out just hours before the game as a precaution.
The 22-year-old has been named at centre to face the Broncos, with Tom Chester returning to the reserves.
The remainder of Todd Payten’s squad remains unchanged.
Friday’s game kicks off at 7.00pm (QLD)
