With a bright future in sight, both the player and the club are poised to benefit from this strong partnership.
In a major move that is set to shake up the NRL landscape, powerhouse prop
Terrell May has signed a three-year contract with Wests Tigers after being
released by the Sydney Roosters. The signing marks an exciting new chapter
for May, who is looking to make an even bigger impact in the NRL after
impressing in his time at the Roosters. His arrival at Wests Tigers is a
significant coup for the club, adding a formidable presence to their forward
pack as they continue to build for future success.
May’s decision to join the Tigers follows a strong and promising stint with the
Roosters, where he showcased his power, agility, and resilience as a key figure
in their forward rotation. Known for his bruising runs, rock-solid defense, and
ability to dominate in the middle of the field, May has all the tools to become
one of the top props in the competition. His physicality and work ethic have
made him a standout player, and the Tigers are hoping to harness his raw
talent to strengthen their squad and enhance their chances of climbing the
NRL ladder.
The release from the Roosters came as a surprise to many, as May had been
seen as a player with a bright future at the club. However, with the emergence
of several younger players and a deep roster in the Roosters’ forward pack,
May found himself looking for more opportunities elsewhere. The Wests
Tigers were quick to recognize the potential in the Samoan international and
were eager to secure his services for the long term.
In a statement following the announcement of his move, May expressed his
excitement about the new challenge ahead and his eagerness to contribute to
the Tigers’ future success. “I’m really excited to be joining the Wests Tigers
and to get the chance to be part of such a passionate and driven club,” May
said. “I’m looking forward to the challenge of helping build something special
here and bringing my best to the team. I want to make a real impact on and off
the field and contribute to the Tigers’ journey.”
May’s arrival at Wests Tigers provides them with an experienced and powerful
forward who can make an immediate difference. Standing at over 6 feet tall
and weighing in at over 120 kilograms, May brings a level of strength and
physicality that will make him a key asset in the Tigers’ forward pack. His
strong carries and tough tackling ability make him a disruptive force in both
attack and defense. Additionally, his relentless work ethic will provide the
Tigers with a player who can grind out tough minutes in the middle of the
field, helping to lay the platform for their spine players to shine.
Wests Tigers’ head coach, Tim Sheens, welcomed May to the club with
enthusiasm, praising his physical attributes and the leadership qualities he
will bring to the team. “Terrell is a player we’ve been watching for some time,
and we’re thrilled to have him join us for the next few years,” Sheens said. “His
size, skill, and attitude make him a perfect fit for the direction we’re heading as
a club. We know he’s going to make an impact right away, and we’re looking
forward to seeing him flourish in the Tigers’ system.”
The Tigers have been in a period of rebuilding, focusing on growing their
squad and developing a strong team culture. With May now in the fold, the
club has added a physical presence to their pack, and the hope is that his
experience and leadership will help mentor the younger players coming
through. The addition of May complements the Tigers’ other key signings and
puts them in a better position to compete for a playoff spot in the upcoming
seasons.
May’s move to the Tigers is also a positive step for his international career. As
a member of the Samoa national team, May’s strong performances at the club
level will only increase his chances of securing a regular spot in the Samoan
squad for future international competitions, including the next Rugby League
World Cup.
For Wests Tigers, securing Terrell May’s services is an exciting development,
and it signals their intent to strengthen their forward pack and continue
building a competitive side. As May embarks on this new chapter, fans can
expect to see the big prop leave everything on the field and bring his
trademark physicality to the Tigers. With a promising future ahead, both the
player and the club are set to reap the rewards of this powerful partnership.
