Peach v May. Very different but both good options.

Prior to 2020 I would have argued for Peach. We were a very impotent attacking outfit who could arse a few tries for many years. It worked to Peachey's strengths. You don't need much of an attack plan when you have guys of his talent on the field.

Our new style suits May. Edwards is the weak link in attack and May covers for that as an extra ball player in the red zone. Slick hands and great vision. He has become a great asset for us. We no longer our 7 to create 25 tries a year. The load is shared fairly evenly.

Peach pulled off like 3 game winning plays in about an 8 week period coming off the bench. It was right before his Origin debut. May hasn't proven himself as a game winner in the same way.

Yep. The peach was a genuine match winner. He often changed the moment when he'd come on and had a knack for finding the try line or setting up tries.

Hes defence at centre and decision making wasn't the best but at 14,coming on in the middle his defence was very underrated.. he could easily chop down props twice his size.

I’m not sure why we are talking about the Tyrone May sex taping thing again it really is ancient history now. May needs a really good season to justify being offered a contract extension. Granted he missed a lot of footy when he was stood down but 30 odd games across 4 seasons is not a lot of games when he is reportedly on pretty good money for a utility/back up.

Never said he could play more. Said he could cover as many if not more positions than tmay.

Play and cover is a lot different.

To prove my point.
May is to slow for fb, wing and couldn't play prop.

Burton could "cover" all positions on the field other than prop.

Burton could cover more positions.

To the people not rating the peach. Not sure what games you watched whilst he played for the panthers. Not trying to compare his versatility to tmay. But no one in my memory could change a game like peach when he came on. He could single handely tear teams up.
He had a small period of time he was a good x factor off the bench but is mostly a good runner who sucks in defence and gives high tackles as much as hetherington without the reputation.

Tbf it’s back in the news due to May getting sued by one of the girls. It might even be a bit of a distraction for him.

People hook up, it's neither immoral or illegal. Bringing up that she got with a footballer and her level of respect due to that is an attempt at discrediting her character to make the situation look better on May's behalf.

That’s also not what happened.

There's nothing to question. Two people hooked up and one person filled it and shared it around without consent.

In all of your hookups has either you all the girl reached for the phone in the act?

So to me that be a red flag right there

He shouldn't of done it and has been dealt with but being blindsided by the relative fame of been with a footballer. Who are generally egotistic pigs had an effect on what went down

Anyway back to footy

Our greatest ever try scorer Rhys wesser played 80mins every week. Averaged a try every 1.7 games.

Peach played mostly off the bench and was often highly under utilised getting limited minutes A LOT of the time. He averaged a try every 2.7 games. Not bad for a bloke who "had a small period of time he was an x factor of the bench".

I remember the crowd going crazy at ivan and hook for not putting the peach on early. The western stand used to turn and clap at the coaches box when he finally got on and he brought the crowd to life.

The recording of one’s sexual activities has become commonplace in today’s society, just the way it is and for the most part is consensual and with the knowledge and consent of the involved parties.

Obviously Tyrone did the wrong thing as the filming was apparently carried out without consent and then there was the issue of the video being distributed.

If one of the alleged victims has initiated civil proceedings as is suggested it is more than likely going to cost him a quid as it would be somewhat difficult to defend in a civil court where the burden of proof is less and he acknowledged his wrong doing in the criminal matters.

It is what it is, more reason he needs a big season to extend his career either here or elsewhere.

In the end I just hope it isn't a distraction like when it first happened.
