The Bulldogs are ready to pull the pin on their $1.6 million pursuit of Terrell May amid concerns over the glacial pace of talks with the Sydney Roosters prop.

This masthead understands that the Dogs also harbour doubts over May’s desire to change clubs after he left his long-time agent Matt Desira and joined a rival stable, fearing it is a sign that he is likely to stay at the Roosters.

May, off contract at the end of the season, had spoken openly of his desire to play alongside his brothers Taylan and Tyrone at some point in the future and the Bulldogs had indicated a willingness to at least consider signing all three – they tabled a deal for Tyrone last year but withdrew the contract offer amid concerns over his past.

Terrell was the most advanced in talks with the club, the parties having spoken about a long term deal from 2025 that would have given him a significant pay rise from next season.

However, it is understood those talks now stand on the verge of collapse and the Bulldogs are resigned to looking elsewhere for big men capable of filling a gaping void in their front row stocks.

The Bulldogs have had little luck in their pursuit of a front rower. They had hoped to sign former Roosters star Siosiua Taukeiaho for this season but he failed a medical on his knee and returned to French Super League side Catalans.

May was an even more prized target given he is only 24 and entering the prime of his career, having played 17 games last season for the Roosters last season and become a valuable member of their pack.

The Bulldogs were prepared to give him a deal that reflected their belief that he was capable of becoming one of the best front rowers in the game.

However, talks have dragged on for weeks and the ‘Dogs have grown increasingly pessimistic about their chances of luring him away from the Roosters.

With May expected to stay at Bondi Junction, the Bulldogs are now expected to shift their attention elsewhere as they look to find an enforcer capable of helping them dominate the middle of the field.

Article doesn’t mention anything concrete. A lot of maybes and potentially. Will still watch this space closely

Terrell is a good young prospect but fck being used as a bargaining chip to sign at another club. Why is it so hard to sign a fkn middle.
Small pool of players and they're either rejecting us or we don't want to pay up.

Yep, while it sucks as he’s a solid middle option and very fucking little available it also says we won’t sit about and be player like dragons were by afb etc.

Forces his hand to make a move and if we are feeling like they don’t really want to be here then fucking move on. He’s solid but he’s not fucking haas.
Exactly.. the days are gone of being a desperate club and I believe the blokes we already have can do a respectable job.

Could be a ploy to force his management to speed up one way or another
