Lock him in, been a while since we have seen an elite centre at our club. Toa has the physical attributes, just lacks the 80min commitment...and his joints are made of play doh.
The Wests Tigers have opened contract talks with Taylan May 🔒
May is currently on a train-and-trial deal until season’s end, but the Tigers are pushing to extend him for at least two more years after his strong return to the NRL. (DT)
Via NRL Central
Chammas reporting Taylan only wants a two year deal with us, and more money per year.
A bit of a blow tbh

Could the 2-year deal align with the deal Terell is on?

Maybe they have both decided to give WT a max of 2 more years to become competitive or they're both out of there? Seems fair enough to me.Could the 2-year deal align with the deal Terell is on?
@joel I think 2 yrs is a good deal for the club .. if that what he wants , club should just take it 2 yrs better than none IMO. There’s a lot of water to run under that bridge .
@mercy-rule That’s fair enough .
Official - two year deal.

@joel That’s a good outcome in this environment , 2 yrs probably will be the norm for that quality of player moving forward . A quality centre for a couple of seasons that’s more than could be said 3 months ago !
Maybe by aligning with Terrell they will negotiate their next contracts as a package deal and go to whichever team will be willing to sign them and Tyrone as well. They're getting the band back together.
To make it happen they might even go 3 for the price of 2? Just a thought.
Where is the Bula signing up to?? That is the most important thing in this off-season IMO.
Zero Tackle is reporting that Taylan May has torn his quad playing with his kids.
He’s subsequently out of the Pacific Championships.
