Man of Kent Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Can't see too many other current NRL Premiership winners joining a Super League club but the reasons for his leaving Penrith & one-year deal suggest it's a sort of community service sentence.

UTK Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I know they've historically not really cared about previous indiscretions but at least the controversial players they bring across are usually quite talented. May is genuinely useless and I haven't got a clue where they intend to play him given the current makeup of their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think a 25 year old NRL champion is useless I’d love to know who you think Catalans should be signing. Maybe invent a time machine and bring Martin Offiah and Ellery Hanley in from 1988?

His one value is utility, outside of that he's got nothing and Catalans already have a utility. The only justification for him being in their first-grade side is being long time best mates with the coaches son. He's also an A-Grade flog who has repeatedly failed to show even the slightest bit of remorse for the reprehensible crimes he committed, hence having his contract torn up. They should be signing literally anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I'm generally of the opinion that everyone deserves a second chance, the social media posts that ultimately got him the sack show how little regret and remorse he has for his actions. Disappointed with Catalans for taking him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Future is League Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I'm sure he will want to impress in this coming season with the Catalans in the hope that he can get a contract with another NRL club for the 2023 season or extend his contract with the Catalans or sign for another Super League club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 A very tainted character off the pitch , and one who hasn’t made the same progress on the pitch as some of those he came through with . He’s become a bit of a utility and IMO doesn’t look that great in any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not fully understand that fine details but just keeping his mouth shut and moving on wouldve been a start. You might be better pleased with their next signing though, Taukeiaho, from the Roosters. This is the forward I mention in the OP. Good player.

Taukeiaho has previously said he didn't want to relocate from Sydney at the moment because of his young kids and the family support network around them.

This is the forward I mention in the OP. Good player. In todays Australian: Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins have suffered another recruitment blow, losing out to Super League club Catalans in a bidding war for star Roosters prop Siosiua Taukeiaho. News Corp can reveal Taukeiaho has knocked back a two-year, $1.2 million offer from the Dolphins, instead agreeing terms on Wednesday night to finish his career in France with Super League outfit the Dragons. The Tongan Test enforcer will honour the final year of his contract with the Roosters next season before linking with Catalans in 2023. On May, I remember when he filled in for Penrith in the halves a couple of times over the last couple of seasons, he goes pretty good and if I recall correct got Man of the Match at least once. I distinctly remember thinking that he was a pretty handy player. Off-field - got a lot of growing up to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
