OFFICIAL Taylan "Tiny" May

41 minutes in KOE, a composed yet solid outing.

I heard he looked pretty comfortable, 100% tackle efficiency, fair meters. An offload.

Baby steps I guess.

But otherwise encouraging.

I think his body would be starting to regain the muscle memory.

Terrell blows me away with his energy, Taylan is built of the same stuff!

He’s been terrific, we can’t expect more from him.

I was going to replace Doogie with him, but that’s problematic now…in a good way!

No bed wetting Benji, find a seat on the bus for him asap.

Hallelujah you've seen the light, at last.
 
So Taylan scored a triple in KOE vs Warriors in the last 10 minutes. Any idea how he was he defensively?

Defensively was fine. Marked his man, the 1 time someone got outside of him he made a try saver.

He made dirty runs from our half and did what was needed.

He did make a very simple knock on just before halftime which nearly lead to Warriors streaking away.

It did take him a while to click into run first in attack, he had a tendency to pass to Izaac initially (if Izaac had pace may of scored some tries) then when a random pass inside that May picked up and ran hard he scored. Post that he just kept doing that and scored another 2.

Do think it was a good call having him play KOE he needs time to get his options right.
 
Great to hear, hopefully he is fit enough for FG soon

If it’s true about big bro re-signing, we have promising signs ahead

Could pretty much lock in May x 2 and Fainu x 3 for the foreseeable future as all want to play with each other

Don’t see Luai going any time soon, same with Api and Turuva

With 6, 7 and 9 locked in, we finally have clarity and stability and something to build our team around

I think for the first time in a long time we can pretty much say our spine (pending what Bula does) is locked down

Makasini belongs in first grade too. Won’t be belong and in front of May in my mind but come next season they’ll both be there. Maka was great in defence and with what little ball he got in attack showed his class

Yep, however I think locking down Bula is a must do action item as well.

Did he play the full 80 @Mighty_Tiger
 
Showed his class to finish off half chances today. Had plenty of work to do for his tries, but did it well. Great to have him putting pressure on the current NRL outside backs. Hopefully they lift their game aswell knowing that the likes of May, Makasini, Laulili'i are all raring to go below them. Competition for spots/depth is great to have for a change.
