Former teammate Apisai Koroisau has endorsed the possible move. 'He's an incredible player,' said the Tigers skipper. 'He's (had it) pretty hard off the field at the time but it sort of is what it is at the moment and the club will execute that if needed. 'It's hard to come by these kind of guys. 'He works out in the backfield and you need that from your wingers these days and he's that quick - some of that speed you can't teach.

Prior to the domestic violence allegations, he was found guilty of assaulting a teenage fan who took a video of him at a post-grand final party in 2021. Last year he was reprimanded for posting footage of himself in a speeding car. The incident attracted scrutiny from the NRL Integrity Unit and Penrith management, leading May to temporarily delete his social media accounts. 'I was in the car, but I wasn't driving – I can't say who was driving,' May said in response to the speeding incident. He later expressed regret over the attention the incident attracted due to his profile. May played 30 games with the Panthers and contributed to their 2022 grand final victory, and also represented Samoa in 2022.
