We are the last of the three clubs in the chase that he'll visit next week.
That's good for us because the team with the final say has an edge.

I hope luai and Tito will give us the edge.
I think we must be reasonably sure Bateman is going, to proceed to this point?

A few things in our favour re signing May are....
We are the last the speak with him...usually this is a huge contributing factor.
2. Luai is Samoan too and could have some sway in this.
3. Big fwds like to have good ball players to run off, whether it's a crash ball, gap running, or hitting an edge. Enter Luai, Galvin and API!
You all must have seen how Samuela Fainu works well with Galvin. May will benefit from Luai and Api.
May, Hunt and Pole. Mmmm, I doubt if those three will be going backwards.
If we do land May I'm predicting Api to have a huge year.

May probably knows Luai better than most people and on the face of it, he’d be bloody good.

Robbo is an astute coach though. Benji should try to find out the real reason. Get the heads up.

And because he’s a May, a working with children check could help his claims.

f**k yes. Come on Benji make it happen!

I think we are the front runner to get him. By all reports he has no intention on leaving Western Sydney so it will come down to us or Bulldogs, but Tigers makes more sense. These kids grew up idolizing Benji. The opportunity to play for him and bring Tigers out of the dungeons works in our favour.

I heard a theory that there genuinely wasn't any off field drama at Roosters. They simply needed to offload someone quickly to make room in their salary cap. Given May's form, they could release him and he would be snatched up by a lesser club quickly (i.e. Tigers, Bulldogs, Dragons). If they tried to release an underperforming player, it would take a long time finding them a new club. Leinu and Collins aren't giving up the stating front row spots any time soon, and if the Roosters need anything it's to improve their backline. Wouldn't be surprised if we see some massive signings for Roosters coming through soon.

My god our season is looking better if May comes on board.
