Wests Tigers winger and club veteran David Nofoaluma has reportedly received from other clubs as the pre-season for 2024 gets underway.
The Sydney Morning Heraldย is reporting that Nofoaluma has attracted interest from clubs in the Super League. However,ย News Corpย disputes this and states the Tigers haven't been able to generate any interest in the winger.
Currently on $500,000 a season for the next two years, the club have continually tried to offload Nofoaluma to rival clubs.
Continually rumoured to be leaving the club, the winger was lent to theย Melbourne Stormย via a loan deal at the end of the 2022 season - a time that Nofoaluma previously stated was one of the best times of his career.
This news comes after the Heraldย reported last week that Nofoaluma, the greatest try-scorer in Tigers' history, has not turned up to training since last Wednesday after claims of poor treatment from the football department at the club.
The publication reported that the winger struggled physically during the opening days of pre-season training last month, and his fitness levels were nowhere near what they should have been.
This saw him become one of the team's least impressive performers in the time trial.
It is understood that a meeting between Nofoaluma, the Tigers and the RLPA was held on Thursday evening (after the player lodged a complaint), and the main issue discussed was how he had been treated at training.
"Sources with knowledge of the situation talking under the condition of anonymity due to the confidential nature of discussions told this masthead that Nofoaluma's gripe with the Tigers relates to how he has been treated at training," an article from theย Heraldย read.
Nofoaluma has played 192 games for the club since debuting in 2013 and has crossed the line 100 times throughout his career in the black and orange. He has also represented Samoa two times during his career.
