Bronson Xerri, the standout centre for the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, was on the verge of leaving the club after being informed he would be losing his starting position.
An urgent meeting was convened, featuring the Bulldogs' head of football, Phil Gould, according to reports from Code Sports.
For the moment, it appears that a resolution has been reached, as the Daily Telegraph states Xerri will remain with the team for the remainder of the year at Belmore, although his future with the club remains uncertain.
With Xerri expected to be replaced by Enari Tuala, it's unclear if he will participate in the NSW Cup this weekend.
The absence of Xerri might provide an opportunity for emerging talent Mitchell Woods to step into the primary playmaking role, as Woods has been identified as the franchise's future halfback.
This scenario could see Lachlan Galvin move to the number six jersey, a position many believe suits him best, while Matt Burton could transition to the centre role.
Over the weekend, rumors emerged about a potential trade involving Xerri and Penrith Panthers star Izack Tago, but those speculations were promptly dismissed by Panthers coach Ivan Cleary.
"I did hear about that, someone's lying there," Cleary remarked during a training session with the media.
"We love him (Tago), and someone has made a lie there."
