The NRL has given Sonny Bill Williams' contract the tick of approval, clearing the way for the Sydney Roosters back-rower to make his highly-anticipated rugby league return in Thursday's season opener.
While Williams still has to overcome knee injury concerns and a surgically repaired pectoral muscle to take the field against South Sydney, he now at least has official permission to play.
The dual international's immediate playing future had been in doubt when it was revealed salary cap auditor Ian Schubert was still awaiting paperwork to ratify the deal.

But the Roosters confirmed on Friday that Williams' contract had been granted approval for registration.
"The Roosters have worked closely with the NRL regarding this matter and we were comfortable with the proceedings,'' Roosters chief operating officer Brian Canavan announced in a statement.

"We now look forward to continuing our preparations for the season opener against Souths, and getting on with what will hopefully be a memorable season of football.''
Earlier, centre Michael Jennings said he he was never nervous about the contract situation.
"From what I know, he's playing,'' said Jennings, who signed a four-year deal with the Roosters in January after a strained relationship with Penrith's hierarchy.
As well as Williams and Jennings, five-eighth James Maloney and back-rower Luke O'Donnell are set to make their club debuts against Souths.
Already a concern for the tri-colours was the fact Williams didn't play in either trial after being bashed around in the final few rounds of his WBA heavyweight bout in Brisbane just three weeks ago.
