\ufeff"We're continuing to work through it with all parties involved and are not in a position to make further comment," RLPA chief executive officer Clint Newton said.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old received his second breach notice sanction in a month last week, when he missed training with illness.<\/p>\n

He reportedly told the club he had a gastro but a doctor was unable to get in contact with him for the next 48 hours, with a player eventually sent to his house. \ufeff<\/p>\n
