If I ranked the 3 slowest wingers I have seen in the 56 years on this little rock

1 Wayne Stewart played for the Wests Panthers in the 70s ...also played for Qld and Australia Good goal kicker ...slow as lava travelling up hill
2 Wayne Bennett ....fit as ....slightly quicker than Wayne Stewart
3 Luke Covell ......enough said

Darryl Halligan was no speedster.

Well worded club statement , hopefully he has a bright career here.

Darryl Halligan was no speedster.

Ross Conlon as well.

Ah yes, the old let’s turn the centre into a back rower schtick.

It’s not uncommon players move in field 😂 like props who used to be back rowers. Once was a winger, ended up in back row and if I played on I definitely would be a prop now. But I get your point just like I was sharing an opinion, you were too. Fair call

 

[bbobb]

Ross Conlon as well.

Chook Heron
Eion Crossan
And didn’t Corey Payne start one game in the wing?

 

[Tigerdave]

Awesome, wonder how long it'll take him to get match fitness? Fingers crossed, not too long.

Good signing WTs. I can't see the risk with this considering it's for the remainder of 2025 with a review at the end of the year. The ball will be in Taylans court to prove himself and to try for a contract extension. It keeps Terrell happy too.

 

[Moh]

Nice to get the deal done.

Now the work to get him grade ready begins.

Wests Tigers have signed Taylan May for the remainder of this season and are heaping pressure on Brisbane to reach a deal for Adam Reynolds as they wait in the wings with a contract for the Broncos playmaker.

The Tigers finalised a train-and-trial contract with May on Tuesday morning as they prepare to unite the former Penrith back with his brother Terrell for at least the remainder of this season.

In the background, the Tigers also remain in the mix for Reynolds as they look to poach the 34-year-old from the Broncos next season.

Brisbane have been locked in talks with Reynolds over a one-year extension but the Tigers have made their interest known and it is understood they have tabled a more lucrative deal as they look to lure him back to Sydney.

It is understood that Reynolds could make a call as early as this week. May, meanwhile, completed a medical at the Tigers on Monday before signing on the dotted line with the club on Tuesday morning.

The Samoan international has been without a club since parting ways with Penrith last year after being charged over domestic violence allegations.

The charges were withdrawn three months ago and May has since spent time in a mental health facility undergoing treatment.

The Tigers had a long-standing interest in the 22-year-old. Chief executive Shane Richardson met May when the charges were first withdrawn, prior to the outside back checking himself in for treatment.

The talks resumed recently after he checked out of the mental health facility. Souths coach Wayne Bennett also showed an interest in May and he was given a tour of the club’s Heffron Park headquarters.

However, the Tigers have won the battle to secure his signature.

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!

Just like the rest of us, Hal.🤣

 

[TigerTone]

C'mon Happy. You reckon Halligan was quicker than Covell?

Darryl Halligan was no speedster.

Beat me to it Swervin.

Ross Conlon as well.

Slowed down over time but was quick as a youngster up Murwillumbah.

They always used to say that Len Killeen had 2 speeds slow and stop,a very slow winger for Balmain but he did help win us the 1969 premiership.

 

[Tigerdump]

Like it. Hope he goes well.

 

[Tim Sheens]

I agree that his courage is undeniable. In a similar vein, I saw Skelton's high ball dropsy count vs Penrith and wondered whether he was struggling to confidently leap into the air due to his strapped hammy?

Plus the later attempt that was so close to going straight through the bread basket, but he just held onto it.

 

[Tim Sheens]

I was talking to richo not benji

Then hopefully he has talked to him about it.
