Oh well, it's done. Retire him, move on and don't make the mistake again. Looks like we have 2 centres coming through in Makasini and Tauaifaiga. Hopefully we can make do with what we have until they come through, or we sign an experienced strike centre for a few years.
 
Given that the knee in question is noted as the other one to that which gave him issues at his time at the Storm and his first couple of months with us, an exemption wouldn't be out of the realms of possibility at all.

Given we do have, though not ideal, options in the centres in the interim (To'a, Doueihi, Faataape, Turuva, Skelton, Naden on return), the potential to regain another 600 to go to market for a centre would be the best outcome.

Couple that with the spare dollars spoken about of late and the (likely) moving of Klemmer, that's a fair chunk back in the pocket to grab a highly quality centre and (hopefully) chase a quality edge also. Would really start to even out the squad if it plays out that way.

Pieces really falling into place for us to sign Taylan May, pending his court case results.

Centre for centre.
Except May is the better option for us moving forward.

When is the case finalised? I was thinking about him the other day. Need to get him doing some laps around the oval so he can jump straight in!

The 23-year-old was arrested back in May over an alleged domestic violence incident involving his wife and is currently subject to the NRL’s no-fault stand-down policy until at least March 2025, when his case will next be heard.

According to reports.

There's no guarantee it'll all be wrapped up by March. These things can drag out. He's facing some serious charges.

I would only want him if he is innocent of what he has been charged for.I know there are people on here who don't care what players do and just want a stronger team but i am not one of them.I don't expect to get choirboys but i certainly don't want thugs.
(This is not directed at you Demps as i am sure you also hold moral values)
 
If we are looking at May and we think he wins his court case I would say Benji and the team already have him on programs for diet , gym , general running fitness etc , that way he comes in fit but just needs the physical hits in training , start in reserve grade see what happens , but a fully fit May is a very good centre
