In a stunning development akin to a game-changing play on the rugby league field, Taylan May has parted ways with the Penrith Panthers while under NRL suspension.
His NRL future is now up in the air as he awaits a court hearing in March, 2025, reminiscent of a nail-biting grand final match.
Suspended Penrith winger Taylan May, a young gun with potential to be a star player, has made the tough decision to leave the club in search of "other opportunities" amidst mounting legal issues.
The Panthers, facing pressure like competitors in a must-win game, agreed to a confidential settlement after a Federal Court battle to resolve their differences with May.
"Effective immediately, Taylan May is departing the Panthers and exploring new horizons," the club announced in a statement that left fans and analysts alike wondering about the implications for the team's roster.
The club, in true sporting fashion, has chosen to remain mum on the details of May's departure.
The 22-year-old athlete, currently embroiled in legal troubles related to domestic violence allegations, stands accused of stalking and multiple domestic violence incidents stemming from an incident at a Werrington residence in April.
With a plea of not guilty on the table, May's future on and off the field hangs precariously like a high ball in the midst of a scrum.
