After being given permission to explore the open market by the Roosters, Terrell May is on the verge of locking in his new home with another Sydney NRL club.

The Wests Tigers are on the verge of landing another huge signing with Sydney Roosters forward Terrell May expected to join the club.

May was given permission by the Roosters to explore his options on the open market and immediately attracted interest from the Tigers, St George Illawarra and the Bulldogs.

It is understood the Bulldogs withdrew their interest at the weekend, leaving the Tigers in the box seat to sign May given his close association with star recruit Jarome Luai.

May and Luai toured England recently with the Samoan team and it is understood Luai has been working in the background to help secure May’s signature.

Tigers coach Benji Marshall pitched his plans for May to the Samoan prop late last week and it is understood chief executive Shane Richardson tabled a lucrative deal, which is expected to hold sway over the Dragons.

Read = Richo giving him the guts.

It helps when our CEO has solid media contacts rather the previous administration who leaked like a sieve.

There will still be the tiger bashers as we are easy targets but winning changes everything.

Hopefully true, next move on the chess board is to free up at least 2 more spots.

Sione + one in the back pocket.

Hetherington would be nice if Hunt is a realistic target for the Broncos.

I still believe though Doueihi will be elsewhere round 1, is a stop gap for clubs like the Dragons, Roosters or Broncos. 2nd prize pending the Hunt situation.

​

The Wests Tigers have agreed to terms on a three-year deal with prop forward Terrell May after he was granted an immediate release from the Sydney Roosters.

The Tigers have edged out St George Illawarra for May’s services on a lucrative deal that will see him remain at the joint venture club until at least the end of 2027.

May informed St George Illawarra coach Shane Flanagan of his decision on Monday morning.

The news is a significant boost for the Wests Tigers, who have been looking for a frontrower during the past few months.

They’ve held conversations with both Canberra’s Corey Horsburgh and Brisbane’s Kobe Hetherington but were unable to land a deal.

Part of the appeal of linking with the Wests Tigers was reuniting with the likes of Jarome Luai and Sunia Turuva.

Stoked if confirmed as we have lacked aggressive forwards and he comes with spades of it.
Will also help recruit others as well

 

[vlad]

Where’s that dude who said we wouldn’t sign May ?

 

[Canadian Club]

Luai hasn’t played a game and is already one of the biggest signings in club history.

WOW well done Wests Tigers this kid is a weapon !!!

Brilliant news!!

 

[Hbom]

Chammas and Proszenko bring good news.

 

[Speed2burn]

Finally a young, aggressive long minute
playing prop

Stefanie who?

Thanks roosters

 

[Tcat]

Well done WTs management in getting this 1 done. Huge signing for us

 

[Hbom]

Yeahcaz just shared what he heard. Info can be wrong. No shame in that.

 

[Kelce68]

I've been on an upward trajectory in my assessment of May the more and more this has unfolded.

He's an outstanding get, particularly given the context of what we need in this rebuild.

Looks like we can finally start to dream of being competitive again moving forward.

 

[Betterdays22]

Huge signing. Big minutes and can hold up the middle. I think he will mediate the work that Hunt will do nicely too. Without May I think Hunt would not have had much of an impact.

 

[Wiz]

On last year’s form, an upgrade over Stefano. However, can May do it as the leader of the pack without the same support he had at the Roosters? I’m keen to find out. Well done Tigers.

Great news!

 

[AdelaideTiger]

Good result, especially since it was done so quickly, would be keen to know the $'s but assumedly it's under $800k /yr and at that price would be represent good value for what we need.
Hopefully able to get Pole and Sione F sorted in the coming weeks.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Well done WTs. Richardson, Marshall and no doubt Luai all playing their part in a good gain.
