Wests Tigers<\/a> star Terrell May<\/a> has been in hospital to treat a staph infection in his knee, although the club is hopeful he will be able to play in their season opener in Round 2.<\/p>\n The Daily Telegraph is reporting that May was given treatment and placed on a drip this week.<\/p>\n His recovery has been swift and is expected to resume training ahead of their season opener next week, with the club being given a bye in Round 1.<\/p>\n It will come as great relief for head coach Benji Marshall<\/a>, with May being an integral part of the Tigers’ forward pack.<\/p>\n He was a whisker away from NSW Blues<\/a> contention and was awarded the club’s player of the year award.<\/p>\n May’s form was so good last year that there were preliminary chats about him being signed for life as a Tiger.<\/p>\n However, that was with the former chief executive, Shane Richardson, and since then, talks of an extension at the club have gone quiet.<\/p>\n The 80-minute forward made a move to the Wests Tigers<\/a> after he was released and free to sign elsewhere at the Sydney Roosters<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Get set for the footy with the FREE Zero Tackle 2026 NRL Season Guide!<\/a> Packed with 130+ pages of player profiles, team previews, insights and analysis, the 2026 NRL Season Guide<\/a> is built for fans who want the full picture.
