In a shock move that sent ripples through the Rugby League community, the Sydney Roosters have shown their $950k prop Terrell May the door, despite extending his contract earlier this year.
The decision to part ways with the international forward caught many by surprise, as May was signed on for an additional two years, with a hefty paycheck to match.
Reports from news.com.au suggest that the Roosters have given the green light for young gun prop Terrell May to seek opportunities elsewhere, cutting ties with the promising player before he even had a chance to prove his worth under the new contract.
Despite the substantial investment made in securing May's services, the Roosters have deemed him as surplus to requirements as they look to reshape their lineup.
According to sources cited by the Sydney Morning Herald, the club believes that May's style of play no longer aligns with the direction they are headed in, leading to the unexpected decision to part ways.
The 25-year-old powerhouse, who hails from a family of Rugby League players including his brothers Tyrone and Taylan, is currently on national duty with Samoa for a series against England.
While May is focused on representing his country on the field, discussions about his future at the Roosters have already begun circulating.
With speculation mounting about his potential exit from the club, it remains to be seen where the talented prop will land next as he explores alternative options in the Rugby League landscape.
