The NRL is grappling with how to acknowledge Michael Jennings' 300th game amid concerns from his ex-partner about the league's attitude towards women's safety.

Jennings has returned to the NRL after a three-year suspension for drug violations and is nearing a significant career milestone.

The player is involved in a controversy due to a civil case verdict that required him to compensate his ex-wife for personal injuries.

The NRL is deferring the decision on how to honor Jennings until his participation in the upcoming match is confirmed.

The Roosters are expected to include Jennings in the team lineup despite the ongoing issues.

Jennings was not criminally charged relating to the allegations made by his ex-partner.

Some of Jennings' teammates and NRL figures are advocating for recognition of his on-field accomplishments.

NRL CEO Andrew Abdo is set to present the match ball to Jennings, but further tributes are still undecided.
