Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett says troubled fullback Darius Boyd will be back at the Broncos within a week.
Queensland and Test flyer Boyd has followed Bennett from the Broncos, where he made his NRL debut almost a decade ago, to St George Illawarra and then Newcastle.
The six-time premiership-winning coach revealed on Thursday a long-speculated new deal would be sorted in the coming days and tipped Boyd to be training at Red Hill by the middle of next week.
