Disgruntled Wests Tigers halfback Adam Doueihi has taken to the field for the first time since walking out of the club last Thursday.
Doueihi, who held peace talks with coach Benji Marshall, CEO Shaun Mielekamp and football director Pat Richards on Monday, attended training on Tuesday morning after addressing his teammates about the situation earlier in the day.
Doueihi walked into Concord flanked by his good mates Alex Seyfarth and Starford To'a before being greeted by Sunia Turuva with a hug.
Skipper Jarome Luai took the opportunity to joke with the media about the players' relationship with Doueihi.
"We're all off him," Luai joked as he walked into training.

Coach Eyes Repair Amid Doueihi's Unavailability Drama
Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall believes Adam Doueihi's situation can be resolved after his unexpected position change and game opt-out.

Wests Tigers head coach Benji Marshall has finally spoken out regarding the Adam Doueihi situation, indicating that they believe their relationship can be mended as they work to "find a resolution."
The recent 'Doueihi Saga' has taken over the news, primarily because the talented playmaker has opted out of this week's game after being informed of a position change from the halves to lock.
This choice followed Marshall's decision to introduce a new halves combination featuring Jarome Luai and Javon Andrews, with the latter set to make his NRL debut.
After the team's 56-10 defeat against the Canberra Raiders on Saturday, Marshall acknowledged that the entire situation had been "unexpected," but empathized with Doueihi's feelings that influenced his choice.
