OFFICIAL Taylan "Tiny" May

[426Tlgerland]

Got a link for this TB thnx?

Walter’s brothers had a father who was very very hard , actually probably order line abuse , we had a place on mangrove mountain and the folks all round that area would say they seen them running along the road while the old man drove behind them and not a short run bloody miles of hills windy roads , those boys could box but were lucky to get through school

There are a few clubs in the hunt to sign Taylan up .. Penrith, Chooks, Dogs and us. So we just have to wait to see what happens with who signs him up.

Taylan was on $600k with Pamfers I believe. Terryl on about the same with us from memory?
What should we pay offer him, more than Terryl? Will it become a bidding war from other clubs or will Terryl get pissed off it it is way overs on his contract?
And our centres, Taó, Doueihi and Naden hitting their straps?
Fun and games is now on for Richo!

Seems strange - Penrith got rid of him and Chooks got rid of his brother. Dogs surely don't have the cap space.

Dogs also have Crichton and the juice head. They don’t really have room for another top line Center.

Apart from all the headlines he has created in the last year what I find interesting is someone posted on here was they were living together again it just makes you wonder if true just how bad the situation really was.
Taylan has shown how good a player he is, BJ was on the nose at the raiders and when he came across was at the end of his career and with the blubber he was carrying would have landed in what we call now the fat club.
All signings can be a risk but I would take it with Taylan upside could be huge, imagine him at his best in yesterday's game.

I'm assuming you've never lived through domestic violence. Like I said before, it is very complex. There's a lot involved, and for women, it's incredibly hard to leave, especially with a woman being murdered by a domestic partner or ex-partner every 4 days in Australia. "Why didn't she just leave" is such a victim blaming way to look at it. As some who survived a childhood of domestic violence, including AVOs, mother being admitted to hospital, etc, the "love" and "the children", the "home", the "family", the lack of support, the judgement, all these things, are huge reasons as to why women stay. There is just so much more than "how bad was it really".

Im gonna go out on a limb and say Taylan May , will be a Wests Tiger's
player this year.
Right now , i recon they would be sorting a suitable contract for him (because of his past)
and an announcement should come after that.

 

[JC99]

Honestly surprised at how little chat there's been around him going to any club

Judging by his social media footy doesn't seem to be first priority? Or maybe Richo is working in the shadows again.

I think its actually a true test of Benjis family first mindset. Does he bring tiny in and give him the support and growth he may need due to some early interesting choices.

I was not trying to offend anyone Suzie maybe in hindsight I should have thought about the way I posted it and been more understanding of the situation.

He may have told the manager to keep our name out of the headlines or the interest stops.

Explains why the stories have dropped off a bit.

I would have thought this would have been done last week , something smells , his brother wants him at the club , maybe the tigers don’t want him now , I wish this gets done asap or the club comes out with a big no

Yeah I remember the stories

Why does the club have to respond immediately.
Would you put him straight into your side? It’s not going to happen like that. I’m happy there is no noise until it’s done or not done. If someone else signs him, we don’t have to say anything.

So, so true and that is why this innocent crap really peeves me. Nearly as much as the highlighting of the rare guy that gets shafted, when nobody ever denies that it occurs.

Nothing one didn't witness is certain, but the 500/1 odds @GNR4LIFE was offering on Matamua starting in round one would likely be less generous than the topic guy not having caused harm.

Correct won’t go back to panthers , roosters shot them self’s with his brother , Dogs no cash , ( eels basket case I had to 😁) leaves a team of players who will push for top 8 , has a brother flying in the team , give him 3 year deal , just get it done

seems like they have no other competition if Tigers are the only ones left …no need for the three year deal then

 

[clontarfkid]

Well...May is a NRL quality centre or winger...youve gotta ask,when (not if)one of the incumbents from the w/e goes down
...,on the wing we have ladies and gentlemen...Staines or Lobb.
,,and centres Naden..if he ever gets fit and is not suspended...and Feledy
Now we do have Makasini coming,but hes more 2026
So we dont have any depth
May is good enuff

Yeah I agree he's crucial for depth, we need genuine competition for spots and cover for inevitable injuries
