I head Richo cut a fine figure at Spoonbowl shortening up the laughing hyenas.

They cowered and grovelled pretty quickly.

Got me and the dog over the line for another season of membership.

That building of DNA and public discipline can be as important as other factors.
It certainly can, I don’t know this guy’s story, but if he is found innocent and is free to play, then if we are interested, we should make him an offer.
The club will have clauses in his contract.
I just don’t see a problem, we need all the good players we can get.
Heaven forbid, his GF may have made stories up, for all we know.

Thinking how good it could turn out to be having him assuming he beats charges & Makasini as our centres.Another of my bugbears with this disappointing club is from its inception the dearth of speedy outside backs who can outrun the opposition forwards let alone the backs

Sorry boys, the word on the street is that ……

View attachment 99300
Alleged PINOPs name redacted by me.

From the above we can determine he is facing 4 counts (criminal charges), which he is contesting at hearing.

Typically success rates at hearings etc are low, an overall stat rate of 11% . Which is probably too high when you think about it as it means 11% shouldn’t even have been charged.

The AVO will follow the findings on those counts.

Then the cops have a mention, so it’s likely another charge/s are floating around somewhere and we don’t know when they could be heard.

It’s a local court hearing, it may not be reached and let’s say it’s best case scenario and it’s actually heard, the magistrate can reserve his or her decision to another date, weeks away.

Thence of course, prospect of an appeals process for the losing party.

So he’s got a bit on.

I’ve read about the nature of the charges, they are indeed quite serious.

Entitled to his presumption of innocence of course.


I know I'm bringing up ghosts of Christmas past Silverdale.

BUT hasn't your tune changed. You had Tyrone hung drawn and quartered before he even went to trial.

YET now when W/T's have a chance of adding Taylan to your already impressive roster, your stance is markedly different......

HMMMM.

(I'm sorry to other posters for bringing this up, but in light of the inane rantings of Silverdale over a number of years especially about Tyrone May. I felt I had to say something)

Thank you. I don't want to engage in a slanging match with you Silverdale. I just wanted to have my say, (in light of your recent postings)

Personally I hope these charges are proven to be false. Because if true, it must have been horrible for his poor wife and children.

Sorry Alice, I’m a bit lost on this story.
Who was the bad guy, Tyrone or Taylan?

It’s Taylan who is going to court and the one we may or may not be interested in, is that what we are talking about?

What has Tyrone done or been accused of?

At this time, it’s only shit talk on this forum about signing either of them, because it was something Terrell brought up.

It's a long ago story Tigerm. It refers to conversations had by Silverdale regarding the May bros. So it involves both of them.

Yes I understand it's speculation talk.....and may led to nothing re them signing with W/T.

As I said ghosts of Christmas long past.

You are being naughty and clearly want to pick a fight for some reason.

Tyrone May pleaded guilty to sex offences, he is a convicted sex pervert and then he boldly slagged off his critics. It might be timely to note that both Ivan and Nate were in his corner.

He was eventually punted from the panthers after public outcry, sponsor threats and people such as board member Brandy Alexander who bravely spoke up against the madness around him at very high levels.

The bone headed idiots who followed Tyrone should hang their heads in shame.

If you read my posts carefully about Taylan, you would be in absolutely no doubt where I stand on his signing and he has his full precious rights as to assumptions of innocence.

Which I think you do know but are bored or drunk or something. I asked you to lay off it too.

So far as we know Terrell is not cut from the same cloth, the apple has landed a long way from the tree.

And he wants to play footy for the WT and no one else.

Fair winds and all kindnessess to Terrell.

I agree with you. Taylan May sadly has a history of being a shit bloke.....and this is not counting the dv charges against him. He would need to show a big turnaround in character for us to take a punt on him. The ideal clubs for these sorts of guys to rebuild their careers are ones with a strong and established culture. We are not that sort of club yet.

As I said earlier, he would need to be on the straight and narrow for a while before we even consider signing him.

That was making total sense to me but then I recalled that May is a product of the Panthers -who arguably have a strong and established culture in recent times anyway.

I think his issues run too deep for any external repair. He needs professionals.

Junior Amone and Tedesco couldn’t bring themselves to properly apologise for their sins. Troubled people.

I don't rule out signing him if he genuinely changes in a positive way......but as you alluded to, that seems a bit of a distance away. If he comes back, I would highly recommend him giving social media a break....lol.

It's a good point you make, not just in this case but for all young men and women, children even, that social media has become such a powerful way of life entering into family's homes, schools, workplaces etc.
It's unavoidable for some to put the bloody phone down.
The written word can often be misconstrued and people can get into trouble by what they say. Gangland warfare, politics, workplace pressure and on it goes.
For someone who has stuffed up using social media it maybe a time to go for a walk and smell the roses.
Talk face to face and sort out things like gentlemen.
