OFFICIAL Taylan "Tiny" May #301

They said it on the podcast - All 3 Brothers come off at the same time, intentional it would seem.
The result could be good or bad, value for a brotherly package deal or the horror of them all wanting more money than the cap permits, hope things are changing for the better because we all know what used to happen.
 
I've just come to this thread to say how impressed I've been with TayMay since he joined.

I was skeptical about them signing him given his past, but (to my knowledge at least) looks to have no attitude issues and right now is the club's best centre by some margin. Never knew just how good he is.

I absolutely love how unselfish a player he is and just how well he sets his winger up (probably because I'm still traumatised by playing outside centres who never passed...).

He's become one of my favourite players.

He times his passes so well and is a somewhat unheralded reason Makasini was able to do his thing so well.

Dare I say he is the centre Staines would've benefited from immensely.

If it really is a story of a young man turning his life around, then I have nothing but respect for him, and am very happy he is at WT.

I'm starting to realise that his average/poor performances in his final year at Penrith were probably due to all the court cases and drama in his life. That sort of stuff distracts you.

I was against signing him based on both ability and off-field issues. Let's not forget he did some really bad things - assault, dangerous driving, domestic violence (and before you come at me saying he wasn't convicted, doesn't mean he didn't do it). He can't really make up for the things he did, the best he can do is be a good role model for the young men in his life so they can aspire to be something better. It's still early days (it was only a year or so ago he thought he was Jesus), but he seems to be on the right track.

I have that much faith in his ability that I'm picking him in supercoach, despite our round 1 bye.

I'm not going to have a go at you at all - I didn't want the club to sign him either.

Big reason I posted it was in effect to say that so far he has proven me wrong and I'm happy he looks to have made a lot of positive change.

People do bad things all the time

Just take me last night got up to adjust the blind light was coming over from the neighbours place and as I looked out the window the neighbours daughter just turned 19 I think she must have just gotten home from the pub standing almost completely naked taking off her clothes with the window open and all the lights on

Did I look away no I didn't I should have but I very slowly adjusting the blind as she took the rest of her clothes off and went back to bed I fell terrible about it today

Good on you for facing up to it. Lust after another women is a very male temptation. In our society we tend to to say it’s okay when the other women consents (porn) but when you think about the heart of why we know it’s so wrong… it’s about us, and how we are betraying those who love us.

So much of my life is trying to be better than my natural self, my unaccountable self would otherwise be.

Instead of taking 2 seconds to fix the blind it was about 12 seconds at my age real life old people have saggy bits and she did not

He had an untreated psychotic disorder. Speaking from personal experience, you are an absolute lunatic if you are not getting proper treatment.

I'll put my hand up for being proven wrong as well. I wasn't so much against the club signing him (wasn't really for it either, more indifferent). I just didn't expect the performances he has delivered to date in the centres. He was great on a wing at Penrith but he was really poor the few games he played for them at centre, so I didn't expect him to perform well in the position with time away from the game.
I'm not buying into the him being a world beater just yet. He needs another level and to sustain it for the season but he has been very good.

He's proven to me that he doesn't only rely on his physicality to get by. Seems to have good footy IQ and not glue hands like many centres going around. E.g. Herbie Farnworth is the best centre in the game now, but he only passes the ball when mercury is in retrograde. May knows when to run and how early he needs to give it to his winger. Very smart player.
