The reunion of the May brothers at Wests Tigers in 2026 might become a reality, with siblings Taylan and Terrell already part of the team and advocating for their older brother, Tyrone, to join them. Tyrone, who is currently with Hull Kingston Rovers in the Super League, played for Penrith from 2017 to 2021, before stints with Catalans. At 29, he is said to have matured following past off-field issues, having been released by the Panthers shortly after winning a title.
Meanwhile, Manly’s troubles are mounting as their fan-favourite wing-back Reuben Garrick is set to hit the open market on November 1, attracting interest from the newly formed Perth team. Garrick is invaluable for his versatility and performance on the field, including being the only player to score 20 tries and 100 goals in a season. His manager has indicated there is still no agreement between Garrick and Manly, making a November market test likely.
Additionally, the Sharks are facing the potential loss of in-form forward Billy Burns due to salary-cap constraints. Burns, a vital player who has recently found form, is attracting interest from multiple clubs as he nears free agency.
On a positive note, the Titans are optimistic about the development of young Kiwi talent Torino Jackson, a rugby union convert who shone in the Queensland under-18 competition. With a three-year development contract and impressive performances for the Tweed Seagulls, Jackson may soon push for a spot in the Titans’ roster as they undergo changes with a new coach.
