Boots on the ground.

I’d stand out like dogs balls in boots and budgies.

You’d have to think attitude would be a part of it. We’re not that far removed from the Leilua brothers. I’m going to call it a massive gamble but probably one we need to take.

The Leilua brothers had attitude problems relating to staying fit and being lazy on defence.

Whilst May might be considered a grub off the field and potentially judged off his surname and brothers actions, you can bet he won’t cheat you for effort on the field and keeping fit.

His attitude in that regard can’t be questioned and imo that’s what’s most important.

How much are you wiling to bet? Your families money. Or his.

I honestly think it's the Interview where he came out and said, he only feels like playing NRL "sometimes"

Roosters are a proud bunch - Whether correct or not, They see playing for their club as an honour...
If you're not 100% on being there - They don't want you (No matter who you are)

On face value I’d agree.

Then you have one of the best run clubs happy to see him go.

Has Parra even met with him ?

I may have mis heard mate apologies if I’m wrong. Was driving into work and heard something along those lines as a replacement for RCG. Apologies if incorrect mate

 

[carltonleach]

That’s JAC not May

Oh I may have misheard sorry mate apologies

He has a few mates here don't worry, "Richo needs to tell us what's going on", "the club is doing nothing while other clubs are signing all the good players", "We are going to come last again", Richo needs to get his finger out", Richo is nothing without Rusty's money", "Richo needs to be sacked", "Why can't we sign a good coach", "Benji is useless"
Fair dinkum I could go on and on, there are so many depressed souls on this forum, it's valium central, I am not sure how these people get the strength to get out of bed each morning.

Maybe we are sick of waiting , it’s always another 5 years this time then another 5 years . Is that to much to ask for is it

Well in actual fact, Sheens promised a three year plan but was knifed after 6 months.

Richo has indicated he expects improvement this year with more expected in 2026.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Well I guess here’s my segway to tell everyone what I might know cause I can’t hold it in much longer.

In all seriousness - anyone who claims May has signed anywhere is 100% lying as it’s still in preliminary stages and we haven’t even put an offer in as of yet, most clubs haven’t officially lodged one including the Bulldogs.

Don’t get me wrong this will change in the coming days and a decision should be made within the next 7-14 days potentially earlier.

However, the overall consensus is that Bulldogs are heavily monitoring Ryan Papenhyzen and might get him. If Pap signs with the Dogs, you can lock in May coming to the Tigers unless a new club arises. However, Dogs are definitely an option for Terrell and Pap could very well end up in Cronulla if not at Melbourne.

Wouldn’t pay too much attention to the Dragons unless they blow everyone out with a big offer.

Side note: if Terrell signs you can pretty much guarantee Taylan is following whenever deemed able to do so. You can bookmark that.

Thanks for posting ☺️

Best run clubs?

Clearly knived himself.

If Paps signs with Bulldogs they can still sign May.

 

[Roar_Power]

We won’t be stuffing around with our offer to Terrell. I reckon it will be the highest one he receives.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

At the expense of Galvin?

 

[Canadian Club]

Don’t know when this information was provided to you but I find it incredibly hard to believe that he would tour our facilities, meet Benji and Richardson and have Luai in his ear if there is no offer on the table

It is common practice for clubs to give verbal offers and then only give the formal contract offer once the player has verbally agreed. Its the easiest way for clubs to 'save face' if the player rejects the club. Its the normal process these days.

Case in point, how many times do you hear clubs say "We never made a formal offer' after they miss out on a player, even though they were heavily linked, had the player tour the facilities etc.

I think they are making a play for Hunt so wanted to free up cash.

Only in mainstream media

It was definitely May they were talking about because Woods commented that he'd be a good replacement for RCG. But their wires may have been crossed.
