You could be a rugby league reporter you scout the net for all the latest NRL news.
You should create a unique username instead of just user118245 that's a name I would expect on reddit. 😂

All three of them can play 50+ minutes consistently without losing their quality. That's such a good advantage to have in your front row rotation.

Has there ever been a more obvious choice for player of the year, 8 rounds in to a season than this guy? Absolute monster.

I think Stefano on 800k playing 55 minutes would have been a lot better for us than this guy

He'll play for the Blues imo. just hope Loz uses him correctly.
Big step up I dont think too much too soon would be good...though its hard when you dunno how the game will play out
Should he start?
Should he come on after the dust settles>?
Probably the latter but hes not impact hes a worker
Will be interesting if he gets a run
Last years game 3 forwards

With Cam Murray being out, you'd assume Yeo to start.
Olakatu in there somewhere.
Jurbo out, May in...
Hectic pack.
Bench will be great.

I hope you're wrong.
I don't want the rock that our team is built on getting busted in an exhibition game.

Terminator May clearing path to NSW Origin debut
Terrell Wests Tigers teammates have backed the prop to reproduce his lung-busting endurance efforts in the State of Origin arena.
May has been dubbed the Terminator after a dominant start to the season that has seen him average more than 72 minutes across eight games and set the tone up front for his club and climb to second on the Dally M leaderboard.
The performances have seen the front rower rocket into NSW Blues calculations and he appears likely to figure in coach Laurie Daley's plans for the upcoming series.
May has another chance to press his claims for a Blues call up when the Wests Tigers take on St George Illawarra in a Saturday-night Magic Round showdown at Suncorp Stadium.
While Origin matches are played at a breakneck speed, Tigers forward Sione Fainu said May's playing style is perfectly suited to the frenetic pace of the interstate series.
He definitely deserves that jersey," Fainu said.
"It's hard playing in the middle, you get stuck in the washing machine so to play 80 minutes and then 85 minutes last week, it's crazy how he does it.
"He's had a massive impact on this side. The club's going up at the moment and he's added heaps to our team. What he does every week, he runs hard, tackles hard, plays the full 80 when he can and just does everything for the team."
May has produced consistent standout performances throughout the opening two months of the season but took his game to another level last week when he produced one of the all-time performances by a prop in the Tigers golden-point victory over the Sharks.
The front rower played a mammoth 84 minutes, running for 228 metres, with three tackle breaks and 74 post-contact metres. He was also a rock defensively, making a staggering 42 tackles without missing any and produced a crucial charge down late in the contest.
Coach Benji Marshall later revealed May was disappointed to be given a brief breather late in the second half. He has already produced two 80-minute performances this season.
According to stats compiled by rugby league historian David Middleton, May stands head and shoulders above his front-row rivals when it comes to minutes played this season.
The Tigers prop is the only player to average more than 70 minutes a match. Brisbane duo Pat Carrigan and Payne Haas sit second and third, with 65.5 and 61.3 minutes respectively.
Dragons prop Toby Couchman, who May will take on this weekend, is fourth on the list with 60.6 minutes before Jack Williams, who averages 60 minutes from the two games he's played this season.
The ability for both Haas and May to play big minutes during State of Origin could give Daley more flexibility with his selections in other positions for the upcoming series.
The coach is keeping his cards close to his chest as he prepares to finalise his squad but said club form will be a factor in picking his team.
"You take it into consideration," Daley told NRL.com. "You take everything into consideration. You take into consideration their form, what they've done in the jumper in the past, whether they've delivered on the big stage.
"You want them going in with a bit of confidence so all those factors play a part. Club form is definitely up there, you want to be playing good football coming into an Origin series."
Marshall jumped at the opportunity to sign one of the best props in the game and the 26-year-old hasn't disappointed.
May has played a key role in the Tigers resurgence this year, setting the platform up front for Jarome Luai and Lachlan Galvin to play off the back of.
Fainu played NSW Cup alongside May in 2021 for Blacktown City Workers when they were promising youngsters progressing through the Manly system and said it's no surprise the front rower has developed into one of the most dominant props in the game.
"It's crazy we've gone from Blacktown to the Tigers," Fainu said. "We were laughing about it when he first came here, we used to play together for Blacktown Workers and now we're on the big stage. To play together again is special.
"We knew what he'd bring to the Tigers. We saw what he did for the Roosters and what he's doing now, we knew we could get that from him."

Wait until the Scum bag Journo’s see this and his joke (0:39) about putting some of his teammates in the video even though he hates them and they are just work colleagues.

Think rep honors benefit the club in the long run because a) it exposes guys to an even higher standard and b) it would help with recruitment e.g. we have assisted in developing May into an origin players. That is worth the short term pain imo

I truly, truly don't get what they were thinking...
He was signed, on a long term deal. They let him walk.
He is the JWH replacement! The only Tiger who can compare to him is Gareth Ellis.
(athough on effort, Fulton may still pip him a bit. Obviously not the same impact).
We need to get another boom prop to match.
