Two year extension that lines up again for when his brother comes off contract. Wouldn’t be surprised if we put in a proper offer for Taylan come end of 26 to keep Tyrell.

Yep either that,or another drawn out,media circus as it could be going the other way & having Terrell heading to Penrith to join his brother. Hopefully it’s our way,but we will wait & repeat in another 2 seasons.

Cannot believe we didn't make a proper play for Taylan. Was it the face tatts? The bloke is a gun and fits perfectly into our side for the next few seasons. Very young and of course has the connection with his brother.

Robbo speaks well of him and Taylan spoke well of Robbo. Just seems weird we didnt make it happen. Exactly what the team needs next season.

RE: Terrell. Great news once confirmed by the club. We all know how good he is and has been. Will be one of the best props in the game for the next 5+ years. Freak.

[Funky Chicken]

That is such great news, and if we can get Tiny in 2yrs then would be the icing on the cake!!

I think some of them penriff boys are pretty tight out west . I know they keep losing them , but there looks too be a true sense of camaraderie around that club .

also worth mentioning beware the Melbourne storm effect ...how many clubs havebought players off the storm and they have not performed ? cronk, harris, tino being exceptions , could penrith be the same . guess well learn that with luai next year ...burton has been a bust but he was in a crap bulldog team.

Good news !


Maybe the two years offer only is for both parties to be safe just in case Terrell decided to head back to the West to join his brother and/or maybe the Chooks are keeping an eye on both Xavier and De La Salle Va'a coming through.

A friend of mine has sons playing in the Penrith youth teams after leaving the Parramatta system and talks about how the systems are night and day, Parra is all about favouritism and nepotism and they lose tons of quality players then try and buy them back once they get a name whereas Penrith just pick the best players for the teams so a lot of the same players come up through the grades together all learning the same plays and the same calls up until first grade it really does sound like a production line and what he says shows why Parra will continue to be under performers they should be dominating like Penrith do.

To be fair, Penrith carried a father/son team for quite a few years (which was laughable even in 2019... oh yeah the good old '5 year plan') and have a lot of families with fingers in the pie.

They've come good and winners are always grinners. However, I think the end of their time on top is nigh. They coulda lost most of their GF and my take-away from their last game is that (like the Storm), they've become a fiddly club that milks a lot of penalties and is used to getting favourable treatment.

Penrith also sign juniors in their system with no intention to play them...their sole purpose is so they don't sign to play for other clubs. They do business very well, but all their juniors dont get treated the best. I also know they dictate to kids what position they're playing as young as 15. Say Penrith look at their Flegg and Ball teams and they're a bit short on centres. Senior figures of the club will then approach Harold Matt Kids and even younger ,pick the best backrowers they think can cover centre and tell them if they want a future at the club they will now be playing centre. Smart business for the club, but i personally know a few kids who struggle with it a bit at such a young age

Back rowers playing centre is not an issue at all I'm not sure how that's a criticism. The Tigers have quite a few former Parramatta junior players in their setup who were let go due to favouritism and the club tried to buy them back a year later once they got a go and realised how good they are Lachlan Galvin is just the latest example.

Penrith don't have links to organised crime pulling strings in their junior set up it's not the same as what happens at Parramatta. Penrith are still pushing for a 4th premiership in a row which would be their 5th straight grand final their time on top is not slowing down any time soon just like Melbourne's hasn't slowed down since 2006

Isn't that when the next broadcasting deal is due?


It maybe when we have another team or two as well to compete against for signatures too.

Terrell May will remain a Rooster after agreeing to terms on a two-year, $1 million contract extension.

The deal, which is yet to be officially signed off, also includes an upgrade for the current season. St George Illawarra coach had publicly expressed an interest in May if he was keen to genuinely test his value on the open market, while Canterbury were also monitoring the situation with interest.

However, the rising prop never wanted to leave Bondi Junction and the parties have agreed to a deal that will result in him earning $500,000 a season from next year.

May had expressed a desire to one day play alongside his siblings, Taylan and Tyrone. The Dragons were prepared to accommodate Terrell and Taylan, although the latter recently recommitted to Penrith.
