EXCLUSIVE: Terrell May's pledge to 'not be selfish' as brother Taylan weighs up offers
Terrell May has declared he's not going to pressure his brother, Taylan, into any decision regarding his contract future amid the Rabbitohs' interest.
The former Panthers centre has been out of the NRL since July 2024, when he was subject to the NRL's no-fault stand down policy after he'd been arrested on domestic violence charges.
Those charges have since been withdrawn with Taylan free to play.

Taylan has since toured South Sydney's facilities, with Wayne Bennett confirming the club's interest to News Corp.

Speaking ahead of the Beer, Footy, Food Festival at North Sydney Oval this Sunday, Terrell said he'd be "happy as" to see his brother return to the NRL.
"Obviously he's my brother so I speak to him every day," he told Wide World of Sports.
"I just said whatever's going to make you happy and go and do that. I don't want to be selfish and try to force anything onto him.

"Wherever he's going to be happy and wherever that suits him the best that's where I want him to go and play. If that's at Souths then he should go do it.
"I've got to not be selfish and try to force him to come play with me, hopefully he does. I just want him to be happy and enjoy life again."

In May, Taylan told 9news his preference is to play with his brother.
When charges were withdrawn, the Tigers were immediately linked to Taylan.
However, South Sydney's interest appeared to put Bennett in the box seat.
The Tigers declined to comment when asked whether the club still has interest. WWOS has contacted Taylan's management.
Terrell has previously stated his intention to play with Taylan and his other brother Tyrone.
The prop said that's still the plan.
"Hopefully man, that's all in god's timing, but we'll let god take care of that. No one's going to take care of that besides him," he said.
