With Questions Still Looming About The Reasons Behind The Club’s Call.
In a surprising twist, Sydney Roosters
have given rising star Terrell May
permission to explore other clubs for
next season, despite his recent two-year
contract extension valued at $950,000.
Roosters legend Bryan Fletcher has
raised concerns over this decision,
speculating it may signal a potential
move for Melbourne Storm’s Ryan
Papenhuyzen. The superstar fullback is
currently on the open market, having
been asked by Melbourne to accept a
$200,000 pay cut if he wants to remain
beyond 2025.
May, who delivered an impressive 2024
season with standout stats like an
average of 110 running metres, 27
tackles, and 1087 post-contact metres,
was expected to be a key player
following the departure of club icon
Jared Waerea-Hargreaves. Fletcher
voiced his disbelief on SEN’s *The Run
Home*, suggesting that May’s release
may indicate plans to free up space for a
high-profile acquisition like
Papenhuyzen.
For Roosters fans, this development
suggests possible big moves in the
upcoming season, with questions still
looming about the reasons behind the
club’s call.
