Terrell

[Roosterfarian]

I have no problem with Gus buying players & trying to get the Bulldogs back to being a force.
Good on him & believe me they will become a force again probably 2025, 2026. Not this year because they still don’t have an ex factor nor do they have that grunt up front.

Me neither. But don't whinge about other teams doing it like he did about us and also parade this bred-not-bought shit.

He’s not going to go to Canterbury unless his brothers are also signed by them so at this stage I think he will either stay at the Chooks or go back to Penrith.

Probably not Mickie, very likely he won’t be here beyond the season, he’s made his intentions clear he won’t sign unless his brothers come with him, highly unlikely recruitment will sign all three (not saying they won’t) but look we have let bigger fish go in the past and moved on, if the numbers were right for him and his position on recent form suggests he has cemented his spot in the team I don’t see why recruitment will move the goalposts to meet his demands about family coming with him.

The dogs aren't meeting his demands either from what has been written. So them offering him a contract is like the Dragons offering Joey a contract. He has a very good relationship with Robbo and said he wants to be a Rooster if he can't play with his two brothers. Again very unlikely anyone would sign them all. He is probably trying to do his less talented brother a favour. So I think we should be favourites to sign him.

That’s good to hear, hopefully it’s settled soon would love for him to stay, he was instrumental in the absence of JWH.

Reading all this, he's gone for sure...Panthers as a brotherly trio, most likely.
Sign 118kg Jordan McLean to replace him.

[DP1990]

I reckon the Dogs have got him with a multi-year offer around the $550k per season mark and with the bullshit proviso that the other two May brother's will be landing at Belmore in 2025 or soon after as well.

No thanks,he has nothing on our reserve graders ,very over rated

[OMR]

He’s with us for 2024 , and if he’s going to another club then let’s get Fletcher baker back as I think he signed for just one years with the broncos. I’d prefer May to stay and be a rooster for life without the extra baggage of his brothers .

Which reserve graders are they, all our second rowers playing prop?

[Intercept]

I hope this situation is resolved soon. It's becoming a circus. No issue with Terrell looking after himself and his family. Good for him. But get on with it. When you know you want to be somewhere and you have that opportunity, you don't drag it out like this, you get it done. So, I suspect he'll be off and gone and good player as he may be, the club comes first for me.

[B2B]

Must keep this guy at all costs . He is a gun and ready to step up into a starting role after JWH retires .

He said there's two options...

1. A club signs all 3 brothers.

2. He remains a Rooster for life.

IMO people are putting way too much weight on option A (plus assuming it's not us) and zero weight on option B. He said he wants to be a Rooster for life...

Fletcher signed with the Broncos for 2 years (2024/5).

Your idea of it becoming a circus & my idea of it being a circus are miles apart.
Mitch Moses contract negotiations were a circus, Terrell hardly gets mentioned.

NRL news 2024: Bulldogs prepare to pull pin on $1.6m pursuit for Terrell May

The Bulldogs’ bad luck at prop has continued, as they prepare to pull the pin on their $1.6m deal for Terrell May, amid concerns over the glacial pace of talks with the Sydney Roosters front rower.

The Bulldogs are ready to pull the pin on their $1.6 million pursuit of Terrell May amid concerns over the glacial pace of talks with the Sydney Roosters prop.
This masthead understands that the Dogs also harbour doubts over May’s desire to change clubs after he left his long-time agent Matt Desira and joined a rival stable, fearing it is a sign that he is likely to stay at the Roosters.
May, off contract at the end of the season, had spoken openly of his desire to play alongside his brothers Taylan and Tyrone at some point in the future and the Bulldogs had indicated a willingness to at least consider signing all three – they tabled a deal for Tyrone last year but withdrew the contract offer amid concerns over his past.The Bulldogs are preparing to pull the pin on their $1.6m deal for Roosters prop Terrell May, amid concerns over the glacial pace of contract talks. Picture: NRL PhotosTerrell was the most advanced in talks with the club, the parties having spoken about a long term deal from 2025 that would have given him a significant pay rise from next season.
However, it is understood those talks now stand on the verge of collapse and the Bulldogs are resigned to looking elsewhere for big men capable of filling a gaping void in their front row stocks.
The Bulldogs have had little luck in their pursuit of a front rower. They had hoped to sign former Roosters star Siosiua Taukeiaho for this season but he failed a medical on his knee and returned to French Super League side Catalans.The Dogs reportedly harbour doubts over May’s desire to change clubs after he left his long-time agent Matt Desira, fearing it is a sign that he is likely to stay at the Roosters. Picture: Justin Lloyd.May was an even more prized target given he is only 24 and entering the prime of his career, having played 17 games last season for the Roosters last season and become a valuable member of their pack.More Coverage


The Bulldogs were prepared to give him a deal that reflected their belief that he was capable of becoming one of the best front rowers in the game.
However, talks have dragged on for weeks and the ‘Dogs have grown increasingly pessimistic about their chances of luring him away from the Roosters.
With May expected to stay at Bondi Junction, the Bulldogs are now expected to shift their attention elsewhere as they look to find an enforcer capable of helping them dominate the middle of the field.
