De Belin and the NRL's legal team will head back to the Federal Court next Thursday, after the league's lawyer admitted the new no-fault rule it used to stand him down was not yet in place.
The Saint George Illawarra lock has pleaded not guilty to a sexual assault charge levelled against him in Wollongong late last year.
The admission means de Belin is at this stage still eligible to play in the NRL, as he hasn't been stood down.
