St George Illawarra will play Jack de Belin in the NRL at their first opportunity, naming him to come off the bench against Brisbane.
De Belin made his return to rugby league last week in reserve grade, after prosecutors withdrew sexual assault charges and opted against a third trial on the matter.
That came too late for the former NSW State of Origin lock to be named in first grade for last week, making the Broncos clash the first opportunity for an NRL return.
