WESTS Tigers will meet with Simon Dwyer and his manager this week to discuss his long-term future at the club.

The Daily Telegraph has been told the Tigers are looking to renew Dwyer's deal for next year, and possibly beyond.

Dwyer will also receive a lump sum at the end of this year, while the club is helping organise a testimonial dinner.

At present, Dwyer is on a three-year contract worth $360,000 — a figure that includes a player termination payment and for his work as a GPS statistician.

Dwyer hasn't played since ripping five nerves from his spinal column during a match at Campbelltown in 2011.

The Daily Telegraph last week revealed that Dwyer had received little support from the NRL or Rugby League Players Association since suffering the injury. He might consider legal action in a bid to receive ­compensation.

The Tigers are ready to ­further help Dwyer, having ­already paid more than $100,000 in medical costs.

Dwyer has been paying 9.25 per cent of his wage into a superannuation fund. That is paid quarterly.

A former forward, Dwyer's management will also look at the state government's sporting injures insurance act. That is a fund in which sporting organisations can pay premiums and then apply for a benefit.

Applications go to a committee, which then determines whether the injury falls under the act. Injured players can be compensated in a lump sum of up to $171,000.

With Dwyer's injury, it is understood his maximum payout through worker's compensation would be about $50,000.

Legal sources claim Dwyer would struggle to win a case should he accuse the Tigers of being negligent after the injury occurred.

Dwyer has a brachial plexus injury and has no movement or feeling in his right arm.

There are suggestions former Wests Tigers CEO Steve Humphreys offered Dwyer a job for life. The club is yet to determine when, if or how the offer was made.

RLPA chief executive David Garnsey could not be contacted.
