Wests Tigers star Terrell May has apologised for his live stream outburst where he told his friend to chuck his Blues jersey 'in the bin' after revealing he had been snubbed by Laurie Daley.
May confirmed the rumour he was not in Daley's 20-man squad while live streaming on Twitch – a live streaming platform and social network – where he was playing and streaming Call of Duty Warzone with his friends.
Breaking the news of his NSW Blues omission to his mates and the general public, the Tigers enforcer instructed his friend to throw the Blues jersey he bought for him in the bin as he confirmed the rumour he is set to miss out.
'You know that Blues jersey I bought you? Chuck it in the bin,' May said on his Twitch stream on Thursday night.
After dropping the bombshell he won't be selected by Daley, May then joked he may have to defect from NSW to get a run in the Origin arena.
'Might have to switch my allegiance,' May quipped.
His comments prompted a fiery response from former Blues coach Brad Fittler, who labelled his actions 'pathetic'.
But Daley wasn't bothered by them saying they had no bearing on his selection now or on the future.
But May has set the record straight and apologised for his comments, stating frustration got the better of him.
'When all those reports came out, there were so many comments saying 'I can't believe you didn't make it' … I got a bit frustrated,' he told Nathan's Lawns and Gardens.
'I never should have said that. That's on me. Obviously, I was joking, but no one really knows me personally, so I shouldn't assume people are gonna know me.
'I wish I could take that back, but I can't. At the end of the day, that's on me.
'Now, I gotta live with it. I'm just gonna keep grinding to earn their trust.'
Terell May continues to make headlines for his online activity
May's online activity continues to make waves with his YouTube Vlog making headlines earlier this month.
May's video which showed an NRL fan asking if he could take a selfie with several Tigers players while they were waiting in a terminal at Brisbane Airport last weekend was surrounded in controversy.
In the video Tigers captain Jarome Luai appeared to be in the middle of a video call with his family and had headphones in his ears at the time of the request.
The star playmaker then appeared to brush the fan off and his decision not to engage in conversation with the member of the public sparked debate about the obligations expected of NRL players off the football field.
Throughout the clip May humorously directed the fan to instead take photos with Royce Hunt and Jahream Bula as he attempted to rile up his teammates.
