**NRL Return: Axed Panther Taylan May Attracting Interest**
Taylan May’s NRL future remains uncertain, but the ex-Penrith Panthers winger is reportedly attracting interest from rival clubs following his sudden axing. The 22-year-old was released by Penrith in February after a club-imposed suspension and off-field issues, but his talent has not gone unnoticed.
Several NRL clubs are believed to be monitoring May’s situation, with at least one expressing interest in offering him a lifeline. While no formal deals have been tabled, teams in need of a dynamic outside back could see May as a valuable addition. His ability to break tackles and finish in the corner made him a key part of Penrith’s backline in their 2022 premiership campaign.
Despite his talent, May’s off-field record poses a challenge for potential suitors. His recent release stemmed from disciplinary concerns, and any club interested in signing him will need to weigh the risks. However, some teams may be willing to take a chance on the young winger, particularly if he shows a commitment to turning things around.
May’s availability also raises the possibility of a move to Super League or a short-term deal with a second-tier club before an NRL return. While Penrith have moved on, with Brian To’o and Sunia Turuva cementing their spots on the wings, May’s potential comeback remains a talking point.
For now, his next move is unclear, but given his proven ability at NRL level, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him back in the competition sooner rather than later.
