The Roosters' decision to part ways with rising NRL star Terrell May has been linked to a revealing interview where May confessed his lack of motivation to play, a move that ultimately proved to be the final straw for the club.
In a shocking turn of events, May, who had recently signed a lucrative two-year extension with the Roosters, was given the green light to depart immediately after Coach Trent Robinson deemed his attitude towards the game unacceptable.
The 25-year-old, who had been a mainstay in the Roosters' lineup throughout the season, was blindsided by the decision.
May's cavalier approach to rugby league, as highlighted in his candid interview during the finals campaign, did not sit well with the Roosters management, who are striving to foster a more positive team culture.
The infamous words "I don't wanna play" were reportedly the tipping point for the club.
The sudden departure of May, a hulking prop with immense potential, has left many fans and pundits scratching their heads, as the Roosters aim to regroup and move forward without the talented but unmotivated player.
Only time will tell how this decision will impact the team's performance in the upcoming season.
