Taylan May on the verge of joining Wests Tigers

May underwent a medical examination at the club on Monday and is expected to begin training with Benji Marshall’s side immediately if the club rubber stamps the deal.

While I am against this signing morally, after watching Doueihi butcher the space he had yesterday, we simply can't continue with him. He got so much good ball and he couldn't cause any chaos on the Penrith defensive line. Put To'a in the same position and it's a line break or at least a 20m run with defenders scrambling.

We desperately need a centre and outside back depth. Taylan on a train and trial is best case scenario - if he turns good we get him at a bargain. If it doesn't work, no harm done.

At least we are signing players in position of need

Just wish he has learnt to kick goals in his time out of the game lol

Good stuff. Putting winning first is a nice change.

Getting a guy who was on a 600k contract on a train and trial is a smart play.

Let’s get him in NSW Cup next week and see what his fitness is like.

Hopefully the T&T deal has an option in our favor.

If he gets to his Panthers form will be a big uplift for us, probably means AD is out.

That would be nice.
If we replace AD it leaves us with Api who has shown he’s a decent goal kicker, but we really need someone in the backs as our sharp shooting goal kicker.
Jake Averillo for 2027 maybe ?

 

[getagrip]

Play him in cup for 2-3 weeks and go from there

I think Doueihi’s days are numbered

Not unless Taylan can kick goals

 

[TYGA]

Good player he’s the best player out of the brothers. 👏

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Welcome to the Tigers Taylan.. 🥳

Hey Demps how long has he (May) been out of the game ?

Thinking it will take awhile before he is physically ready for NRL.

Tyrone just led Hull kr to a challenge cup win

 

[BrissieTiger67]

Could find half our run on side in the near future will be from Fainu, May and Laulilli 😀

 

[Lukic]

Bronson Xerri was firing pretty quickly.

It's not like May has had 2 years out of the game because of injury. He should still be as fit as ever, and potentially in even better shape physically as he's continued to grow into an adult body without the wear and tear of regular footy.

He'll probably need a month in reserves and then should be good to go.

18 months i believe

Straight into cup

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Probably the best outcome in terms of signing him. If he behaves himself and makes a difference, re-signing him to a longer deal should be a no brainer.

 

[BAGNF05]

Great from Richo to lure him away from Souths T and T and a full timer at Warrington. He is straight into the starting line up over Douehi.

Benji is proving he can outgun the bigger name coaches in the recruiting game. I think the club is heading in the right direction.

 

[mtd#2]

He’s still better than Naden AD and Toa put togerther worth the risk on a low cost contract with a few behavioural clauses put in.
Unfortunately none of our centres excite me it’s certainly an area we need to improve on as well as our forwards.

Based on what? 4 games at centre..
Douhei suprisingly has been good for us in defence this year and Toa has been solid.

You either aren't watching games or are caught up in the fantasy that Taylan is better than what he is
