Terrel May

[mickeylane]

The only threat to May joining dragons is Gus….

 

[gaz_head]

Weidler has reported that the dogs have pulled out of the race for May.

Pappy days for Dogs?
The Bulldogs would have been the best home for Terrell May, but the club has informed his agent they won’t be making a play for him. Instead, they have been putting the finishing touches on a two-year extension for one of the best buys of 2024, Bronson Xerri.

The chat around Ryan Papenhuyzen has gone quiet and it appears it is now a race in two between the Storm and Bulldogs when his deal with Melbourne expires at the end of next season. The easy and safe option for Papenhuyzen is to stay put – even on a short-term deal. The issue for Melbourne since signing Stefano Utoikamanu is their inability to pay Papenhuyzen what he is on now.

Well then, does this improve our chances of getting May or will he end up at the Tigers?

Hope so Dave, but I won’t believe it until the offical announcement

May has the Penrith connection at the Tigers and apparently hates the beach.

Tigers have the money.

Only thing in our favour is that Tigers have been the basket case of the league for many years. In many ways it’s an IQ test for May and his Manager.

Conclusion. He goes to Tigers.

 

[saints4ever]

Tigers have the money, so do we. Its a coin flip as to who could offer him more. But Tigers have the track record of giving ridiculous amounts to any player and Flannagan just will not do that
Beach thing doesn't worry me. He can live from St George to Sutherland to even parts of Wollongong without seeing a beach.
We have the better coach who can bring him closer to rep duties
We have the better balance of a roster with forwards who can help him, but he would be the alpha prop at either team
Conclusion he would benefit the Tigers much more than the Tigers would benefit him.
So he will clearly go to the Tigers

In other words, the Dogs have signed May....

They then will sign Paps for 2026 and then the World. Yabba Dabba Doo!!

Who knows??
Gus would not be the one giving Weidler any scoops.
After watching Flanagan's last interview, unless he was bluffing, he did not convince me that May is his number 1 target for the prop we need.

I believe it. Tigers will outbid anyone ATM since they lost Stefano and they are happy to pay way overs in desperation.
Too much so for Dogs and Flanno wont do the same either and I agree
They might do better pooling their funds into the right football club or coaching staff

May and Luai next year on top of Api, Galvin, Bula and Olam. They will have some good cattle in 2025.

Flanno's probably doing the same.

In that now infamous interview, May stated he wanted to win a premiership with the Roosters.

Assuming the Dogs have pulled out that leaves us and the Tigers, who despite new board/owners still are dealing with upper level Chaos, players not buying in and a fledgling coach.

In the fair dinkum states, if he wants a premiership, who's a better shot Flannagan or Marshall?

Hope Terrell's missus has her head screwed on!

Marshall, hands down.

If the dogs said they pulled out, it will be because the money being thrown around by Us/Tigers/Parra is well in excess of what the Dogs want to pay him.. and now they can use that money to go after other players. Gus relies on players 'buying into his dogs vision' and taking unders.. but not this time.

I have a feeling the reason May is even on the market is because he has decided he wants the extra 200-300k p.a. hes being underpaid.. god knows why he took the $475pa extension last time.. but anyway here we are.

I just dont seeing Flanno going bananas though on his offer.. which means I cant see how we beat the Tigers (and maybe even Parra), especially if this bloke lives out west anyway, and has ties to the Tigers.. just seems unlikely that we get him.. but again.. happy to be trying.. I dont mind some overs here.. I just think winning in 2025 is critical to us moving forward, and Flanno also... but Flanno wont do anything silly.
