Rugby League Players Association board member Jeremy Latimore says the union are yet to discuss possible NRL strike action.
But he admits it's not out of the question.
High-powered meetings between the NRL and the RLPA will continue on Tuesday in Sydney, with the Cronulla forward set to attend the negotiations.
The meeting comes just a week after RLPA general president and Kangaroos captain Cameron Smith refused to rule out a possible strike.
But Latimore said it was something that was yet to be raised as a players group, and he was aware it would be an ugly look for the game.
"It hasn't been spoken about as yet," he said.
"It wouldn't be a great look.
"I hope it doesn't get to that. And I don't think it will as long as the NRL are on board."
Latimore is confident a resolution will be closer to being found after this week's two-day meeting, but warned it would only be the case if the NRL came to the RLPA's party in terms of their demands.
The key issue in the negotiations revolves around the players' push for a revenue sharing model, which they want to include a base salary cap of $9.1 million next season before long-serving player and car allowances are added.
The NRL are understood to prefer a fixed model, which would see a gradual increase of player payments by 45 per cent over the life of the next television deal, between 2018 and 2022.Latimore insisted the players were more united in their cause than ever.
"It's the first time in the history of the RLPA where everyone is on board and behind the RLPA," he said.
"Everyone is together and on board. In the past there hasn't been that.
"Now we just need the NRL to come to the party and help get it done because it's frustrating for the fans, it's frustrating for all the players."
