May’s Performance and Future with the Club
Last season, May’s exceptional performance nearly secured him a spot with the NSW Blues. He also won the club’s Player of the Year award, reflecting his impact on the field.
Discussions about a lifetime contract with the Wests Tigers were initiated under the previous CEO, Shane Richardson. However, those talks have become inactive recently. May transitioned to the Wests Tigers after being released from the Sydney Roosters, marking a significant shift in his career.
As the Tigers prepare for the upcoming season, the focus remains on May’s health and readiness. His return would significantly bolster the team’s strength and aspirations for the season.
