Code-hopping superstar Karmichael Hunt<\/a> is set to make his highly anticipated NRL comeback after the Broncos named him at five-eighth for Saturday's clash with the Raiders.<\/p>\n

The former Kangaroos and Wallabies representative will play his first NRL game since departing the Broncos after the 2009 season to pursue an AFL career with the Gold Coast Suns.<\/p>\n

Hunt played 125 NRL games with Brisbane between 2004 and 2009 and played on a wing in the Broncos' 2006 grand final triumph over the Storm.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old will partner veteran playmaker Albert Kelly in the halves as he makes his comeback at Canberra Stadium.<\/p>\n

Analysis: <\/strong>Manly Origin stars Tom Trbojevic, Jake Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans have all been named by coach Des Hasler for Friday night's clash, even though they'd be backing up from Wednesday night's gruelling affair.

Analysis:<\/strong> South Sydney Origin representatives Latrell Mitchell, Damien Cook, Cameron Murray, Jayden Su'A and Campbell Graham have all been listed.
