Terrell May approached to leave

[The Real King]

This whole scenario is hard to understand.

I have explained it to you.

[HunchoRooster]

Good outcome for all involved by him going to a team of no hopers, it won't be as costly as him going to a Top 4-6 rival. Good payday for him aswell.

Only downside is our forward pack has lost xfactor and we are weaker for it at this present moment. Baffling call.

[mightyrooster]

So the Hunt, or other big signing must be very close.

Statement from club

https://www.roosters.com.au/

[roosterchook]

Is May getting a better deal at the Tigers? I hear it’s 2 million over 3 years. I have no clue if we are buying Hunt or some other player. All I know is we have a decent enough team if we play to form to make the top 8 bar the butchers. Get rid of both of them. Stronger packs run right through them. The Vaa brothers are far better.

[SamKerrSimp]

It's been obvious from the start that May has been moved on because we have a lot of young, promising forwards that the club want to prioritise like Naufahu Whyte, Siua Wong and the Va'a brothers but because of what Terrell May's dickhead brothers have done in the past people just automatically assumed he did something wrong but the statement put out by the club almost confirms nothing has happened and this was just a tough decision that we make almost every year that somehow became a bigger issue than it should have been.

I'm really not sure why people can't see that we are going to give other youngsters a chance over a guy who is going to turn 26 in a couple of months and can negotiate with rival clubs in 12 months time. If he has a great season 2025 there was a chance he would leave us anyway and I wouldn't mind betting that's also played a part in the decision.

Seriously, what did life do to you mate? Sorry that shyte happened but try to be nice to people for once as you're such a grumpy fark!!!

Still not a fan of this move
May will pocket a lot more $ but shows how well we extended him for 2 years on $450k we had a bargain
now he will get $670k roughly at tigers over 3 seasons
allready lost 5 of the 17. Now 6 which is concerning as if Spencer and Lindsay play Origin we have Whyte and maybe rookie Vaa bros or two scary butcher bros in the front row
and up to $4m of players gone with only one Marky N signing and little on the market
and walker and cheese missing the start of the year that 8 of the 17 gone with 1 signing

[Chook2]

Yep.

A young prop who plays different to the rest and.can play 80min.....punted because of a comment and 'our standards' lol

Gee this club has lost some gloss with recruitment/retainment the last few years

Prop in his prime about to play origin and we had him for a bargain
was worth way more then $450k
Not like a Napa situation where we realised we overpaid and tried to move him on
the playing group is off it

But we would still get 2 great seasons from him on minimal $ for a bargain so it still would be fine
and then let the Vaa bros take over 2027
wong isn’t a front rower and when Lindsey and Leniu play origin who is left?

[Lydon]

What confuses me the most about this and I’ve seen a few others also mention the same,we’ve lost so many good players yet still have both Butcher brothers on the books for next year..

If indeed it’s true and the Club is trying to offload players for cap space,surely May remains over the Butcher. bros?!?

Hope the Club knows what they are doing..

[Seventy Five]

Don"t panic everyone, we're getting Klemmer in return.

I'm not your mate and my life is great.

Tigers new major sponsor is Columbian Air. May will fit in perfectly. It's a shame he can't take The Cheese with him.

I'm proud of Aubbo for drawing a line in the sand.
