In a shocking turn of events, it seems that David Nofoaluma's career with the Tigers is hanging in the balance.
The veteran winger has reportedly been served a termination letter by the club, indicating that he may have played his last game in their famous orange and black jersey.
As the Tigers enter a new era in 2024, under the guidance of Benji Marshall, they are eager for a fresh start and a chance to make it to the finals for the first time in over a decade.
However, this ambition seems to have ignited a conflict with Nofoaluma, who has been a stalwart for the team throughout his distinguished career.
With 100 tries in 192 games, he has been a reliable attacking force for the Tigers.
Even a loan spell at the Melbourne Storm in 2022 couldn't diminish his impact.
Yet, despite his past contributions, new coach Benji Marshall has reportedly informed Nofoaluma that he won't be given a chance to represent the first-grade side anymore.
This decision has warranted backlash from the winger, who has voiced his concerns to the RLPA and sought legal advice to understand the club's actions.
Whether this is the end of Nofoaluma's time with the Tigers remains uncertain, but it is clear that tensions are high and his future within the sport hangs precariously in the balance.
