OFFICIAL Terrell May #296

There's too much unknown information to judge. Very possible Luia signalled the posibility he might be on the move which changes the cap framework. Possiy that wasn't communicated to May as well as it could have.

It explains the sudden re-up of twal and AD if you think about it . Everyone was scratching their head at the time as to why they were done so early , but now it actually makes sense . Luai was leaning to the exit door , and the club had to shore up a big chunk of its leadership group .
I think the May boys and Fainu boys are fine . They will all get over the line soon . Bula …. I mean I dunno . It seems like his manager is asking extreme overs probably so when Bula doesn’t sign , it will be “they wouldn’t pay him what he was worth “queue Riccio and Reed sucking on Isaacs tit.
Bula is not worth 1mil plus . And this idea he will be come 2028 … I dunno man . He will be 25/26 by then . Most players are what they are by that point . How often do you see fullbacks take a huge leap that late ?
I’ve said it already 10 times … I think fletcher sharp is better than Bula , and I’d be circling him. He simply doesn’t fit at the knights .

I still think fletcher hunt is the one to chase , he will be a very good player , and we could get him on a cheap amount , if Bula leaves he can step right inn

I’m glad it’s not 4 . I mean that’s age 32/33 season so it should be ok in modern footy , but remember Tamou ? One year he was nsw prop the next he was Magpies standard . The fall was that sharp . But someone like T May who’s games more about agility should have more staying power . Plodder types like Tamou and woods just all of a sudden were completely ineffective and there was probably some bricklayer plying for Ryde Eastwood or even Concord Burwood who was closer to nrl standard .

Was Woods ever effective? I can’t remember ever seeing him make any real impact. And Tamou.. Geez these names are conjuring up some bad memories.

And if he decides to hold off to test his value, then what?

Hypothetically, if you offer him $5m over 6 years (forget whether he’s worth it), that’s a lot of security to turn your back on when you’re only ever a minute away from a major career threatening injury. It’s about the way you approach the discussions in my view. Make him feel wanted but only if that’s reciprocated.

There’s no excuse for the club stalling negotiations this long. The HBG saga was in December 2025 and we’re now about to enter May 2026.

And it’s only now we’re ramping up negotiations after Luai signed with PNG?? I get the first month or two would’ve been tough after the Magtard board crapped the bed again, but we’re fast approaching nearly half a year since.

There is actually...........it's called incompetence. The same incompetent dinosaurs that were in charge prior to the Independent board are running things again. Did anyone really expect anything less?

People care for him . He deserves it . He should be fairly rewarded . Mate the last few days … some of your posts . You do realise the players are human beings ? Representing the club you love ? Like this isn’t battle bots ?

So come 2028 Tyrell will he 29 and Taylan only 26..,

What’s the offer to both ? It’s a little hard to speculate now given we don’t know how much the cap is going up …

I know some will be hating on it .. but bring in Tyrone for backup money for a couple of years if it commits the other two

I believe that based on how Taylan and Terrel have ensured their contracts are aligned and it was reported that Tyrone has an NRL clause in his SL contract that it will be the only option if we want Taylan and Terrel to extend, to be honest it is not the worst thing as Tyrone is a serviceable backup to a number of positions.

Yea he was . Because he was good at making yards whilst keeping his body off the ground. Because the issue was once you hit the deck you were dealing with Royce Gracie disciples .
Then the chicken wing , and other wrestling moves were outlawed leading to the latest generation of footy , where the dude who stood up and backed into the line became not only not ineffective but a liability .
I really love why we do where the first man in , holds the player up the next man in swings the legs , and thy drag the player backwards . It absolutely destroys the other teams start of sets . Really clever , and pretty unique . John Morris doing a great job there .

I thought the dollars for players were effectively the same value of the cap even when the salary cap goes up due to ratchet clauses, as the players are paid a a percentage of the cap eg luai is close to 10% at a 13 million cap, so if the cap increased to 16 m he would be on close to 1.6m

Not all have ratchet clauses. I dont think Luai had them (i could be wrong) as we already paid a premium to get him.

SOO is an extra 30k in May's kick, i am sure he cares about it and he can head back into negotiations with the tigers telling them I am now a SOO prop pay me more
