The player at the centre of the training drama which has engulfed the Canterbury Bulldogs is reportedly closer to taking legal action after a meeting failed to resolve the issue on Thursday.
The Daily Telegraph
reports the player and his representatives met with club powerbrokers including football boss Phil Gould on Thursday but couldn't come to a solution.
Although the club has promised to continue to offer assistance as the player deals with mental health issues, the matter is still alive and he is reportedly considering taking legal advice.
It comes after reports on Wednesday night that the player was forced to wrestle 20 of his fit teammates one after the other in a training punishment known as "shark bait" where the players wrestle until one is put on their back after he was around 10 minutes late for training.
