OFFICIAL Taylan "Tiny" May

[Juice]

Scerri was out of the game for 5 years and had massive drug and legal issues. He made a successful comeback with just a preseason.

It’s good points you are making but Xerri wasn’t having what appeared to be manic episodes every couple days on social media. May was literally saying F rugby league & that he was becoming a rapper a couple months ago lol.

Hopefully the rehab stint has sorted this all out but it is definitely not a sure thing. Anyways let’s just hope he comes back firing & we can all agree he’s a talented player

I'd be grooming Douhei to play 13

 

[watersider]

It's a good signing. All this chat about whether he's up to it or if he'll stay out of trouble. But he's on a train and trial, literally bare minimum. We can't go wrong. If it all blows up then he gets released and we move on. Which other centre is available to sign to join us right now?

I'd be very concerned about his defensive duties playing in the middle.

 

[upthetigers]

I want to see Turuva have a crack at centre and Taylan to wing.

No way are you breaking up one of the best centre wing pairings in the NRL

 

[Halbrowne61]

I’d say he’s not coming, for whatever reason. It’s dragged on to long imo.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Good business bringing him on with a T&T plus club option.

I am setting little hopes for him this year, just get the body back conditioned, stay focused, injury free and build for next season.

Think you May have missed a few pages, its all but confirmed.

 

[Halbrowne61]

I’ve just read an article in the SMH that he’s rejected South’s, had a medical with us and is possibly being offered a train and trial deal so he can play with his brother.
So my previous comment looks wrong, and he could be playing for us in a few weeks.
What do I know, nothing it seems!

Sick of reading this.

We all know what he has been like defensively. The suggestions have been to try him there, we have nothing to lose. His frame and skillset suit that role perfectly, throw him in. Watch his defence. Work on it.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. A lot more upside to trying it then not.

So officially on a train and trial and begins training this week

My ideal backline
1.Bula
2.Turuva
3.Toa
4.Taylan
5.Skelton
6.Latu
7.Luai
That's a lot of attack !

Then you throw Heath in around the middle and you have a lot of pace and threat across the park. I love it.

[AusTigers]

Is May a winger or a centre. Preety much all the highlights ive seen of him is being in left wing position

Too late for that IMO. He’s not a dangerous enough ball runner any more and that’s without talking about his defence.

Now just a little more decent grunt upfront.

 

[Tigerdump]

Does anyone think this might be behind Toa’s recent post about not extending yet?

Highly doubt it. To’a plays right centre and Taylan plays left side.

Plenty of room for both. If anything it would effect Naden or Doueihi more than To’a

Samoan, Fijian, Tongan , backline 🔥

I don't think you have to be a dangerous runner.

He is a strong runner, he makes good PCM and most importantly he can ball play and link up with the halves. Think he's got everything to make a good lock, if he can defend there.

I honestly only thought Douehi got named in the team because he’s a kicker hahaha
