Terrell May approached to leave

[mightyrooster]

Welcome Hunt, Ponga, Dylan Brown, Latrell, Leo Thompson & Hass.

I have to be right on one of them.

And Staggs and Cobbo.

[Steggles]

Bloody hell we’ll be skinny up front next year. May was pretty solid this year without being a superstar. He was reliable and added some size to the pack, but if he’s had some “issues”, so be it. I always felt he was playing well within himself and was really looking forward to him stepping up to replace the Big Dog. We look like having the smallest pack in the NRL next year. I just hope that we don’t have Nat or Egan Butcher in the prop rotation next year; that will be a disaster in what’s shaping up to be a very ordinary season.

I thought he was pretty ordinary in the back half of the season. When we needed him to step up as a starting prop he didn't produce.

Whyte has gone past him in my opinion.

That’s 6 from the 17 and $4m worth or players so a 1/3 of the cap gone for next year with a couple of signings (Marky ! $500k and $300k Townsend and some larger contract upgrades) but gee we have some cash to spend next year still
I like May has he had another point of difference to the other front rowers, he was opposite to a Leniu quick steps and bash and crash having footwork and ball playing skills as well! And a big motor with long minutes! Had good offloading and ball playing skills and got dirty when he needed to
Seemed a smarter front rower who read the game and play well
at 25 hitting his prime

[Mr Whippet]

He's obviously got up to no good.

Major new signing...dunno, could be a case of bigger than expected upgrades to keep our younger roosters from the clutches of others.
Hope he doesn't end up at the Bunnies, could come back to haunt us.

[Bates]

Straight swap for Burton would be nice.

[ism22]

JAC gaaaawn... Burgess' trick of doing an independent drug test once his system's clear didn't work for him.

[HDTONE]

Stupid decision.
He had an extension, will develop fine.

Is Leo Thompson in the wings......even so I'd prefer to have kept May.

Disappointed to put it mild.

[bondi.boy]

ITWT
In Trent We Trust.
Well, I do

[Vasco]

He was disappointing this year after what he achieved last year.

I agree. Could be a ruthless and smart decision in the long term.

[Vasco]

I heard a rumour about an international player out partying while his team was still competing in the finals. No name was mentioned.

I'm sure there would have been more than one.

[Thirteen]

It looks like we might be just entering a NSW Cup team next year.

We could bring back Lachie Lam then.

I can see what your saying as he is not the average prop, not the direct hard running and defending type and opposite to Leniu
but I liked how was is different to Leniu and Collins and gave as the 4th option with Whyte next year in the rotation
this year he still made 27 appearances and even though 19 from bench
made 3000mtr at 110mer average in 40 min a game, 1100 PCM which was 4th for chooks, 64 tackle breaks, 40 offloads and 27 tackles a game! 98% tackling and 6 tries
I think he went well

[A Country Member]

How can the club tell him to leave for 2025, considering they just extended his contract this year? I’d guess it’s because he’s in-demand and would probably get more money at another club.

On his form, he was awarded the RLPA Impact Player of the Year. That’s a good award to win.

His best asset is his endurance but he never really consistently punched through the line liked I hoped he would.

Not in the defensive department. May rarely missed. Whyte misses plenty.
