THE NRMA insurance Broncos have settled on their final team for their match against the Parramatta Eels tonight in Sydney.

The Broncos will go as per program with captain Darius Boyd to make a return from five weeks out with a broken thumb.
Boyd has not played since he suffered the injury in Queensland State of Origin game two victory on June 21.
But he will assume his jersey tonight, leaving Kodi Nikorima out of the 17 for the game against Parramatta.
Nikorima had a hip flexor injury, so Benji Marshall was the choice as the utility off the bench.
Jai Arrow, Jamayne Isaako and Herman Ese’ese have also been left out of the side.
