St George Illawarra Dragons National Youth Competition team second-rower Luciano Leilua will make his first-grade debut against the Brisbane Broncos at WIN Stadium, Wollongong on Thursday.

The local Hurstville United junior has been named in the squad following the suspension of Tyson Frizell who failed in his appeal to have his Grade 1 “Contrary Conduct - Contact with Match Official” overturned at the NRL Judiciary on Wednesday.
