Star winger David Nofoaluma is back at Wests Tigers training – but his future may be decided by the club's final 2023 board meeting on Tuesday night.
Nofoaluma walked out on the club in sensational circumstances last week, alleging unfair treatment at training by officials.
The club's leading all-time try-scorer returned to the club on Monday.

Club insiders say Tueday's board meeting will be crucial to Nofoaluma's future.
The speedy winger is a favourite of Tigers chairman Lee Hagipantelis, who is fighting to keep his job in the wake of an internal review.
If Hagipantelis survives, Nofoaluma may too – if there is a coup then the veteran winger is likely to leave.
Nofoaluma lodged an official complaint with the Rugby League Players Association over his treatment and the training staff are believed to be fuming with his actions.
The coaching staff weren't happy with Nofoaluma's fitness and pushed him hard – and the walkout was the result.
Nofoaluma didn't complete Monday's session due to a leg injury but did work out in the gym.
It's a good sign for a club battling to regain stability – but there is still plenty of doubt as to whether he will remain a Tiger in 2024.
