Pieces really falling into place for us to sign Taylan May, pending his court case results.

Centre for centre.
Except May is the better option for us moving forward.

I would only want him if he is innocent of what he has been charged for.I know there are people on here who don't care what players do and just want a stronger team but i am not one of them.I don't expect to get choirboys but i certainly don't want thugs.
(This is not directed at you Demps as i am sure you also hold moral values)

Is the court case in March?

That's what reported.

See what happens.

If we are looking at May and we think he wins his court case I would say Benji and the team already have him on programs for diet , gym , general running fitness etc , that way he comes in fit but just needs the physical hits in training , start in reserve grade see what happens , but a fully fit May is a very good centre

Sucks, I thought he played really well at the start of last year. Now our centre depth will be tested even more

Even if he's guilty, people make mistakes and can change. Maybe a good environment is what he needs.

March 10 he is in court

We buy a 30year old busted reserve grader and got what was expected. Enough said.

Yeah it was a terrible trade from the start, idk what benji and richo were thinking. If he was fit Bellamy wouldn’t have flicked him.. What happened to the whole ‘he passed the medical?’

 

[weststigers]

We have the depth in the centres to cover him and Naden.

An extra 600k + Klemmers salary can get us some extra quality if it becomes available.

Remember, Douehi is also pushing for a spot somewhere and can fill in. It's not a disaster by any means.

It's the other knee that got busted, so new injury for all intents and purposes.

Didn’t he get surgery on both at the end of the last year? Idk just sucks he’d be an asset for us punching holes in oppositions defence

Reserve grader who won a premiership.

30 year old centre isn't old at all and the club would of put him through a medical. Is what it is. Would of been good to have him this year but next year like a few others probably surplus to requirements.

You mentioned his medical when he came across from the Storm. He passed it with the knee issue he already had.

There was a new injury on the other knee sustained after he signed which was operated on which is the one causing the problems. Would have had to have a crystal ball to see that coming. Could have happened to anyone.

He is definitely not a reserve grader when fit lmao

Douhies defence is a disaster. Until he learns to use his shoulder then he shouldn't be in the team. He has skill for sure, but we were the worst defensive team pretty much the last 3 years. No more easy tries from players who arnt up to it. Jeez they are supposed to be professional. Douhies, Naden and Toa are all defensive liabilities at times. Why is so hard to get a centre who can shut down attacks either one on one great technique or in a backline that lets nothing through.

U can bet that the nrl won’t give us medical exemption, if it was south’s or roooters it would be a walk in the park

Real shame was a gun for his 13 games and a real X factor, heath mason could be one to watch for and been saying for a while i think he'd be a great centre but then no cup FB unless tino. Heamasi is in the wings as well just waiting for his birthday
