South Sydney Rabbitohs head coach Wayne Bennett has confirmed the club’s interest in Taylan May, a talented outside back formerly with the Penrith Panthers. May, who represented Samoa at the 2022 Rugby League World Cup, is on the verge of returning to the field after being embroiled in off-field issues that led to his NRL suspension.
Having been given the green light by ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys to resume playing following the withdrawal of all charges against him, May’s potential return has garnered attention from multiple clubs, with the Rabbitohs being one of the frontrunners in securing his services.
Despite May’s hiatus from the sport to address personal matters, his recent visit to the Rabbitohs’ facilities suggests a possible comeback sooner than anticipated. Bennett acknowledged ongoing discussions with May’s management, indicating a genuine interest in the player’s reinstatement.
Manager Ahmad Merhi confirmed that South Sydney is among the clubs vying for May’s signature, highlighting the player’s eagerness to rejoin the league. With no current NRL restrictions impeding his return, the decision ultimately rests with the league once a formal contract is in place.
The developments surrounding May’s potential comeback underscore the complexities faced by players navigating personal challenges while striving for professional reintegration. The NRL landscape continues to evolve, emphasizing the importance of player welfare and second chances within the sport.
May’s journey serves as a reminder of the resilience required to overcome setbacks and the support systems crucial for athletes in times of adversity. As discussions unfold and decisions loom, the rugby league community awaits the outcome with anticipation, poised for a possible resurgence of a promising talent.
