Terrell has shared the news story on Insta with the word Please over the top.

Hopgood would genuinely be one of the best signings we could make. Skillful workhorse at a position of need (lock). I would swap Galvin yesterday for him.

See his role this week, could go back to his usual minutes and self now some of Parra’s hookers are back

Any comment from Luai’s dad yet on his Insta?

Where you of this opinion a week ago? Do you not give Richo and Benji any credit for how we have started the season? Before a ball was kicked would you have taken a 5/5 start come round 10?

Regardless of what start we have had we still got pumped 64-0 and the team looked like a bunch of 16 year olds against men

Dont even need an official statement. He is coming here....

What interview was this,?

People have said he met with Richo after he was granted permission to return by the nrl , in said interview he was apparently talking BS. I don’t know if it’s true but I doubt it as May senior would have said 1 chance don’t blow it , we can play together , I think he will arrive end of this week , looks fit in the interview today

 

[hsvjones]

People also need to remember Our Captains both played with Taylan May and would know if he would be worth the risk. They will be the ones keeping him in line.
We need a decent centre and he would fit the bill and not on big coin for a couple of years until he proves himself.
Worth the risk IMO and this has Richo all over it with the 9 interview and easing him onto the fan base.

 

[Tiger_Talk]

I think people suggesting he play second row are thinking more long term than say, this weekend coming.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Im guessing Taylan was pretty much a done deal way back when he had his meeting but obviously something happened him being (scatttered) Richo told him to go away look after your mental health and we can revisit things.
Hopefully he's in a better head space and the Poly boys keep him in line also his bro.

The questions and answers ceretainly looked pre-prepared and rehearsed

 

[balmain boy]

Next man up!!

We don't have anyone 'next'. Might as well just pick 16

So was I right when I said May may announce May in May

 

[426Tlgerland]

I think if Taylan comes on board it will give May senior a bit of inspiration as a leader at this club but it should and will make Taylan try that bit extra hard to repay the faith, I think May senior will drive Taylan into a top player again and this year , 4 or 5 weeks in lower grade should have him ready, if needed as we still got Toa and AD going ok

Options are very limited!

 

[balmain boy]

Really - I'd have a laugh with the old man and not care.

Then you're obviously not someone who's a professional.
If you're trying to set the example at a club, creating the culture and attitude to change a club from last to first then a family never creating unnecessary distractions and tensions most definitely makes your job a lot harder and makes people question your authenticity

 

[balmain boy]

If the Broncos have cap constraints, Willison would be a good acquisition.

They don't, or at least they don't impact him, they literally just re-signed him for 3-4 years.

 

[balmain boy]

Not sold on Willison. My fear is he's a little more the athletic type & a little less the hard nosed type.

We have athletes. We lack the mentality.

Leniu is obviously the dream addition.

I REALLY like Jayden Hunt from the Broncos. Surprised he's satisfied with the role he has there.

Actually we have neither.

 

[boonboon]

So Taylan May to come in for centre /wing and then next year Tyrone May to come in at five eight or bench utility

 

[Needaname]

We are in desperate need of an another alpha prop with experience & voice in the James Fisher-Harris mould. Terrell May leads with his effort but we need someone who can stare down an opponent, puts fear in the opposition & can produce big PCMs at will.

At the moment Pole should be our 1st bench rotation until he further develops his game & experience.

Who could this be that could fall out of the tree?

Someone like Mitch Barnett was a bit of surprise signing at the Warriors. Long career with Newcastle as a young to mid age player with a hard edge but no standout but since he went to the Warriors he has completely transformed to a leader and enforcer.
Need to find someone similar we can build around either of the Newcastle Barnett or the Warriors Barnett versions would do.
