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.

Scans clear Edwards of serious injury.


While there were some fears in the immediate aftermath of the clash that Edwards could miss as many as six weeks if the injury was serious, AAP are now reporting that scans have shown only a sprain to the PCL has been suffered, and that the fullback could be back on deck for the three-time defending champions in approximately two or three weeks.

Clean your filthy mouth out

Boneless chicken is okay.

With fast food joints I think about how it tastes when its poorly made. KFC is at the top of the list for worst tasting/chance of getting food poisoning. Sides are mostly complete garbage also e.g. potato and gravy.

As a counter McDonalds might be crap sometimes but it doesn't meet the level of crap that KFC is capable of.

Some of you may know these people. But Security told these boys they can't eat KFC at the stadium. https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSY7jhVCC/

That has been the rules since the early 2000's. It is printed outside the gates even. No food brought from take a ways may be consumed inside the ground.

At Penrith stadium (I know a couple of years ago) there was a stall that sold southern fried chicken. So similar can be brought at the ground.
