The Brisbane Broncos will rest two of their Origin stars for the match against the Newcastle Knights but in some good news, Anthony Milford will make his return from injury.

Broncos coach Wayne Bennett has decided to rest Queensland stars Matt Gillett and Josh McGuire following Wednesday night’s Origin clash.

Alex Glenn will likely replace Gillet in the second row, with Jai Arrow to get his first start of the year at lock in place of McGuire.

To temper the loss of Gillett and McGuire, Milford will play his first match since dislocating his shoulder last month against the Roosters.

Milford is set to start alongside Ben Hunt at halfback, with Benji Marshall to move to the bench.

Bennett will cut his squad this afternoon, before naming his final 17 to play Newcastle one hour before kick off tomorrow.
