‘Timing wasn’t right’: How breakout Roosters star almost joined Storm
Terrell May was close to joining the Storm before he decided to stay with the Roosters. Picture: Matt King/Getty Images“To be honest, I was going to sign there, but then I ended up debuting here last year,” said May, who has emerged as a star of the future alongside fellow young gun Siua Wong.
May’s decision has proved telling for both teams, with the Storm lacking punch off the bench, while the Roosters have benefited greatly from having him with Jared Waerea-Hargreaves suspended. “I felt like I wasn’t ready for first grade, but Robbo would speak to me every week and told me stuff that I had to work on for my Cup games. There were a couple of injuries and I was lucky enough to come back to first grade.
May’s impact on the side hasn’t gone unnoticed, with Victor Radley heaping praise on the emerging star, even if he has to look after him when they go to the beach.
