Terrell May approached to leave

[On the Nose]

Cowardly of Easts to wait until May is overseas to do this to him. Cowardly of Easts to remain silent, waiting for May to say something first, so they can then respond as the aggrieved. Hope May collects his pay, his extension money and puts his feet up for a bit. Well done to Gus for standing up for his mate.

Interesting how angus came out and said he is a good bloke and to lay off him until the full story comes out.

so can only assume there is a story of some sort bubbling away in the background?

Complete guess and i have zero inside knowledge to speculate but i wonder if part of his contract negotiations we agreed to look at signing his brother (of the Taylan variety) and have decided against it.

In saying that he seems caught off guard by the decision.

Have we?[/COLOR]

Last year only JWH (Sitili & Naps, if you count em). But over the last few years we have been leaking experienced middles (Lodge, NBrown, TKO & Liu).

One thing is for sure. We are really light for props now. Especially during the origin period.

Tigers resigned Sullivan now letting go. Different I guess that he didnt play a whole heap of 1st grade.

Could May have asked for more feeling he was getting unders .....but why sign the extension ?

Weird.

"It's interesting because they have lost a plethora of middle forwards," Parker said on SEN radio.

Yeah, lunatic decision letting him go.

Not if May is unhappy and unsettling the apple cart.
If he ends up at the Dogs then, well instructed Gould.
Contracts mean Jack Shite these days.
Time to play dirty Uncle Nick .

It’s all over the shop
players seem to back May
and the roosters are saying he doesn’t for the culture as if he has some something
If we needed money for a big signing it may make sense but we have a lot of cash to spend - and allready loosing 5 of our 17 making another go who is just hitting his prime at 25 and two regular seasons in first grade is odd! Especially when $450k his value for money is really good
unless we snag a Tino / Haas type of player I’m concerned

Makes absolutely no sense to me. I'd understand if it was a position we had plethora of depth, but its the opposite.

I'd love to be inside the four walls that made this decision.

imagine if this is all just to sign Clint Gutherson - the fans will riot

I was already worried about our middle rotation next year, now i'm terrified
If Egan Butcher has to play big minutes we are in trouble....

Don't worry,his brother will be as devastating as usual. Natbis basically a retarded Shaun Fensom

Fark Gussy
who gives a toss about what he thinks of our activities. He is smart but he is also an arse and is our enemy.

Wrong Gus.

[Rooster90]

Exactly my thoughts. Nothing off field must've happened and on field he is a gun. Im lost.

We must be chasing a signing, but even if we get Ben Hunt I'm not sure if we are in a better position now. Prop rotation is very light, especially when you consider Collins & Spencer are away for the middle part of the year with origin.

[Mr Whippet]

Whilst he is on good wages by the club Gus should pull his head in, the wheels are wobbly enough at the moment, maybe he should reflect how he and his mates folded so meekly in the finals.
As baffling and disappointing losing May is...he's gone, someone else steps up.
The old adage of cemeteries full of people who couldn't be replaced will ring its hollow tune.

Angus Creighton is our enemy????

[HunchoRooster]

Makes it even more baffling given Gus has come out and said that. Doesn't mean his word is gospel but you'd think if something has gone on off field, the club would be pulling the reigns in on our players saying anything about the situation.

Absolutely baffling. There are literally a dozen people who are better off leaving the club than big Terrell. I have a feeling it's because our guru of a coach doesn't know how to communicate with a bloke as black and white as May. He comes across as somewhat aloof and basic in his opinion on the game. The opposite of Robbo who can talk underwater and would show his working out for a 2+2 = 4 equation. I know out of the 2 who performed their role better last year.
