Do English fans care that they routinely sign our degenerate off casts?

They have a salary cap 1/4 of ours... beggars can't be choosers

So it's looking like May has paid her off then?

Maybe Chins, she thought I'll take the money, he's moving across the world.......I don't blame her if she did.

100%. I'd never judge a person (normally a woman unfortunately) in this position.

Exactly,

No one knows what goes on behind closed door. Even close family and friends.

Have I missed something? Why do we think she's been paid off?

He wouldn't be allowed to work in the UK if guilty or even if the charges haven't been settled yet.

Pretty sure May was dealing with a criminal case, not a civil one.

So it's the Police/Prosecutor who makes the decision to continue - not the alleged victim. Obviously in a case like this it makes it a lot harder to win the case and get a conviction if the victim isn't cooperating - but I'm sure we would have heard if the charges had been dropped.

Still odd that he was allowed out of the country, and allowed to secure work in the UK.

I also wonder what impact (if any), his signing with Hull KR has on our salary cap going forward.

Will probably never get any official word from either camp, so will need to rely on scuttlebutt.

Is beetota advocate like the Simpsons of the rugby league world...
I remember reading that Tiny May, would play there to avoid his suspension for that shot he gave that annoying brisbane patron..(2022). the joke was he would never serve it till he returned from being in England till a decade later

I reckon if he goes down for the domestic violence charges there will be some pressure applied for Super League to not sign anyone currently stood down by the NRL on their no-fault policy. Similar to how NRL and Super League honour each others suspensions etc.

There have been countless other players who have tried to go over to Super League but have been rejected due to prior criminal convictions. Unsure whether that's a registration thing, or a VISA thing. Yet despite currently facing charges, May is allowed in.

Maybe it's just a timing thing - his next court appearance isn't until March 2025, and his Hull contract is only for this year. Maybe they don't care about pending charges - only convictions. Maybe Super League are just giving the fans what they want? Just a super weird case.

This is a wind-up. Hulk have come out pretty emphatically and said it won’t be happening.

Hull KR's Taylan May stance clear after fresh signing reports down under

Report in Australia claims that younger May is joining his brother at Rovers but the club's position is that they are not signing him
