Panthers sack premiership winner Tyrone May over Insta post

May was stood down from all Panthers commitments until “further notice” following a controversial post on Instagram after the grand final.

The post, which was deleted three days later, was investigated by the NRL Integrity Unit.

The Panthers board met last week to discuss the matter before issuing the 25-year-old with a show cause notice.

He fronted the board on Wednesday, where he was sacked.

Panthers set to sack Tyrone May after brain snap of epic proportions

By the time it all shakes out it’s expected the Panthers will tear up May’s $250,000 playing contract next week.

The premiers issued May a show cause notice in relation to the errant grand final social media post on Wednesday and the bench player now has seven days to respond.

In the fair dinkum department, what was May thinking when he decided to go off the reservation and try and play the victim card after Penrith’s brilliant grand final triumph?

Talk about ambition exceeding ability.

NRL player accused of filming, leaking sex tapes of two women

Police alleged May, 22, filmed a sexual act with a woman at Coffs Harbour in February last year as well as with another woman at Kingswood in western Sydney in May.

The 22-year-old was today charged with filming two women without their consent last year and disseminating those videos without their permission.

The Panthers said May would deny the allegations when he faced court in May and believed a player at a different club leaked the footage.
