OFFICIAL Terrell May #296

I just saw a post on Instagram and he seemed really pumped for this year. I'm hopeless trying to find stuff on Insta so maybe someone who is better can find it. It was a pod with Turava I think.

Hopefully all good.

Terrell's little (Tiny) brother looked pretty happy in a training video not all that long ago.

Let's hope the players and Benji have their heads in the right space at training and looking forward to a great season ahead rather than thinking about Burgess and his HBG Dementia Clown Troop, as difficult as it may be to put recent events aside.

For what it is worth, as critical as I have been about Bula in the past, I'm still reasonably confident that he will re-sign with us, just hoping we are not paying too far over his current worth.

Saw that video. End of the day it will just be an excuse. I don't want the team buying into the hype by the mole and others saying we will make the top 8. We need alot of things to go right to make the 8, like a settled halves combo and injuries is latu going to feature in many games this season,, will royce lose motivation after a series of losses. So many variables.

Conversely, I want each and every one of the squad to believe that not only will they make finals, rather, that they have a shot at winning the whole shebang. No point turning up, even just for training without belief

Can’t see them buying into any hype, there’s always noise around the club so they should be used to it and block it out. Trying to not get my hopes up but Royce could be a big improver for us in 2026.

His chances of cracking Origin I believe, to a great extent come down to how we use him this year and the type of role that he plays.

If he continues to play the long minutes, slow and steady reliable numbers type of role, I think his chances of Origin selection are going to be very limited.

For Origin selection he needs to play less minutes and create an impact while he is on the field and I know there are many that say that he doesn't create any fear in the opposition and that he is just not that player, plus the fact that there are currently players that provide that, not to mention the influence of advisors and assistant coaches who may tend to promote their own players. (yeah ok, Stefano)

However, it has to be remembered that Terrell May won the inaugural Rugby League Players' Association (RLPA) Impact Player of the Year award in 2024 while at the Roosters where in 27 games the average minutes per game was around 42 where as at the Wests Tigers in 2025 over 24 games his average was nearly 73 minutes.

Either way I don't believe he lets anyone down regardless of which of those roles he plays but possibly his biggest selection hurdle is the perception the selectors have of him, his past, the reason that he was released in such a dramatic manner from the Roosters and to a certain extent, the fact he plays for the Wests Tigers.

That's somewhat true...

He WAS one of the most inform props in 2025 at the time of origin and still didn't get picked after injuries; no doubt political.

Id love to be wrong, but even if he was having "Haas like impact" this year, the chances are, he still wouldn't be picked..

So as long as Laurie is blues coach, I don't think being in origin is a valid indicator.

Stefano was plodder central all year and got an origin run. Was awful in it
Origin or maybe just while Laurie is coach means SFA to me May was outstanding
 
Stefano was outstanding. (outstandingly stupid)

Stands there like a moron causing an obstruction, resulting in a disallowed try that costs the Blues an Origin Series, then he mouths off like a moron before the Grand Final and gets smashed for his trouble.

Oh and I almost forgot about him talking about not liking JWH, complete sook.

Has one good game with a few decent hit ups for the year, the rest was shit. 💩

Not too many things. Bit more danger and strike from our outside backs this season could make enough of a difference. Taylan May can finish actually finish. Some of his tries late last season, against the Titans and the Cowboys, it was just him being too tough and powerful, even with two tacklers trying to wrap him up. It wasn't via any super technical/intelligent backline play. Sam Fainu could be a similar story, very intelligent forward, with speed and power. 21 years old with 50 games.

If the spine carries on as they (mostly) finished out last season, and we just have that bit more of an added threat, maybe 4-6 extra points a game here or there we are a real chance.
