The NRL has confirmed Broncos fullback Reece Walsh will return from suspension a round early after the club successfully applied for Origin Game III to count towards his ban.
The 21-year-old Brisbane star was handed a three-game suspension after being found guilty of contrary conduct after a lengthy hearing on July 28.
It was determined Walsh has used abusive language and directed a verbal spray at referee Chris Butler during the Broncos’ Round 18 loss to the Titans.
