Why May withdrew from World Cup

Terrell May, a prop for the Wests Tigers, announced that he would not be available to represent Samoa at the upcoming Rugby League World Cup. The decision was confirmed ahead of the tournament’s commencement and has been noted by the Samoan national team’s management.

May issued a statement in which he explained the reasons for his unavailability. He indicated that the choice was made after careful consideration of his personal and professional circumstances, and that he felt it was the appropriate course of action at this time.

The prop’s withdrawal means that Samoa will need to adjust its squad composition ahead of the competition. Team officials have acknowledged the change and are working to fill the vacancy created by May’s decision.

May’s explanation has been received with understanding from his club and fellow players, who have expressed support for his decision. The Wests Tigers also confirmed that they respect his choice and will continue to back him in his club commitments.

The Samoan side will proceed with its preparations for the World Cup, incorporating the necessary changes to its roster following May’s withdrawal.
