OFFICIAL Taylan "Tiny" May

[Stevec]

The one missing ingredient? We have Twal and Seyfarth as starters.

Twal and Seyfarth are specialist centers ?????
Taylan May is a center !

Thought we had one with Olam..never tange with Bellyache

Olam was a great center but the fact that WT are thinking of getting him a medical retirement tells me he ain't getting better anytime soon

Don't forget the Laulilii and Johannssen brothers lol

Galvin has his younger brother in our system also.

You said it was the only missing ingredient in our side, a gun centre. Seyfarth and Twal are evidence that is not correct.

If we are only talking footy terms, the guy had his good season on the wing. Played poor at centre last year on return from an ACL injury before his suspension. If you want another winger, sure, get him. If you are expecting a gun centre then you might be in for an unpleasant time.

Looking at non-footy things, the guy is a violent thug. Now he knows he can get away with it. He'll do it again. Do you want to be the club represented when something like that hits the headlines? Remember the shame Matt Lodge brought to the club?

The signing is a no for me unless we are playing him on the wing, but I don't feel like we need wingers right now with Skelton and Turuva here.

Right, so you guys are telling me the pamfers were willing to shell out $600,000 for two seasons. In a star studded team which they don’t overpay for anyone, but he’s average???

Will Wests need of outside backs override the building of a worthwhile club culture ?

This bloke is a grub.
Wests need to maintain integrity and let this one go through to the keeper

#IMHO

Is she available? Can we get any old silent film reels of her in juniors we can get to Richo?

I'll have a look through the Family Archives, failing that there could be something on ancestry.com

Got into a fight defending a team mate his captain, was in a car doing under 100km an hour and the rest didn’t even make it to trial.
Based on what’s been proven it’s light weight stuff.

influence on the younger ones wouldn't be great....

Look like he's more of a bad boy than I thought. I'll take his talent though lol.

Article behind a pay wall here from last night... Probably nothing new in it ...

I think there's four important things to note...

- Taylans alleged crimes are very serious. It isn't his first offence either, he's been in trouble a few times before. (Cracked some bloke at the pub, anyone remember that? There was footage.)

- We are a family focused/friendly club and this goes against what we stand for....

- character aside, he's a fantastic player and better than what we have. He will strengthen our team immensely.

- the case was dismissed.... guilty or not, I'm sure people will have their thoughts, but today, he walks free of any alleged crimes.

It's definitely something that fans, of not just our club but the greater NRL community will be divided on. I can't see many punters "liking" him. He has A LOT of work to put in to clean up his image.

We're a strong chance to sign him, i suppose.
Could always end up at somewhere like Parra also with his cousin Jake Tago?

Quick search there isn't many players in the NRL right now with such serious crimes against their names, other than;
Matt Lodge (NY incident)
Jack De Belin
And Addin Fonua Blake (DV charges, some years ago)

This type of character doesn't last long in the game.
Taylans out and out last chance it'd seem, otherwise it's back to tiktok and pushing his brand that won't be supported.

All 3 of those players are still playing in the NRL.

 

[mtd#2]

He actually hasn’t played since mid last year. Players have missed more time off the game through injury.

can he be any worse than douhei?

 

[mtd#2]

Because iv personally seen it plenty of times it's always the same story. One partner assaults the other presses charges, police spend hours on it. Only for the partner who was assaulted to drop the charges later on because they made up.

where have you seen this plenty of times?

get it done, throw in a get out clause if he xxx up, maybe even an incentive if he behaves everyone loves clauses these days, great player on the field which will help and will also help keep terrell around

 

[Don Kershane]

We might put Terrell in the awkward position of having the final say. No one would have a better idea of his brothers headspace.

 

[Betterdays22]

If he was good enough to replace Crighton at Penrith, he's good enough to replace Fataape at WT.

Totally. Just making the point it might not come back to him as quickly as people would like. Or I have NFI and he transforms us, probably more likely
