Tigers on cusp of resurrecting Taylan May's NRL career after Souths snub
Taylan May is reportedly on the cusp of restarting his NRL career at the Wests Tigers alongside his older brother Terrell. May made his debut at the Panthers in 2021 and has played 30 NRL games, but he didn't feature in any of their grand finals and departed the club last year following a string of off-feld incidents. The 23-year-old spent time in a mental health facility earlier this year in an experience he said changed his life. But now May could be back playing first grade in a matter of weeks with the outside back set to accept a train-and-trial contract to play under Benji Marshall. May underwent a medical at the Tigers on Monday, according to The SMH, and could begin training with the club this week once the deal is sealed. May was unable to sign with a club while he was stood down by the NRL under the code's no-fault stand-down policy following charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, two counts of stalking or intimidation intending to cause fear of harm, and two counts of contravening an AVO, to all of which he pleaded not guilty. The charges were withdrawn and May is now free to restart his NRL career. He toured the Rabbitohs facilities last month but knocked back their train-and-trial offer as he sees a clearer path to a top 30 contract at the Tigers. May also reportedly knocked back an offer to play under Sam Burgess at Warrington in the Super League. KNIGHTS VETERAN COULD BE SQUEEZED OUT Knights veteran Dane Gagai could be forced to leave the club at the end of the season after it was revealed Newcastle are unwilling to take up his $400,000 team option for 2026. The Newcastle Herald reported Gagai had a team option to remain at the Knights in 2026, valued at around $400,000. However, the Knights reportedly have not taken up the option and are of the belief Gagai is no longer worthy of that sort of money, which is strange because it is about half of what elite centres can earn in the NRL. At 34, Gagai is past his best, but only played Origin last year and was strong in the Knights' 26-22 comeback win over Manly on Thursday night. Gagai ran for 169 metres to go with 12 tackle busts and two linebreak assists to help inspire his side to a crucial victory. Given the Knights' marquee signing Bradman Best is currently out injured and has a history of injuries, it is a confusing decision from Newcastle. Gagai has scored 86 tries and 30 goals in 303 NRL games for the Knights, Broncos and Rabbitohs since his debut in 2011. He has also scored 12 tries in 23 Origins for the Maroons and three tries in five games for the Kangaroos. Gagai's management are now actively shopping him around to rival clubs in need of a veteran outside back. Sources close to the situation have also revealed that even if Gagai is offered a larger deal than what the club is offering, the Knights still may not feel inclined to match it. It is unknown whether any other clubs are interested in his signature at this stage. However, with Dominic Young set to return to the club and James Schiller vying for a permanent centre role, it is unlikely Gagai will stay with the club unless he takes a pay cut.

Jacob John Dwyer admits killing James Peter Deering in Wooroloo shooting
A man has pleaded guilty to shooting dead a father-of-two in an incident that triggered an emergency lockdown of a suburb on Perth's eastern fringe. Jacob John Dwyer, who's now 37, shot James Peter Deering in Wooroloo in November, 2023. The incident forced the area into lockdown for several hours, as police searched for two men they believed were linked to the shooting. Residents were asked to stay inside and to keep their doors locked. At the time, police said they had gone to a home on Needham Road in Wooroloo, where a 32-year-old man was found with a gunshot wound to the head. He was flown to Royal Perth Hospital where he died. Dwyer was charged with murder but in the WA Supreme Court this morning, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter. The court heard that the statement of facts related to the case had been agreed to by the prosecution and the defence, but they were not read out. Dwyer will appear in court for a sentencing hearing on June 23.

Labor MP Marion Scrymgour calls for leadership over black deaths in custody
Northern Territory MP Marion Scrymgour has slammed the federal government and previous governments for "taking their eye off the ball" regarding Aboriginal deaths in custody. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that this article contains the name of an Indigenous person who has died, used with the permission of their family. Ms Scrymgour told ABC News Breakfast on Monday that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese should consider addressing the issue, after Warlpiri man Kumanjayi White, 24, died after being restrained by NT Police officers on the floor of the Alice Springs Coles supermarket on May 27. "Aboriginal people are being completely ostracised and victimised, and people are dying," she told News Breakfast host Bridget Brennan. "The federal government I think needs to show the leadership." Mr White's grandfather, Ned Jampijinpa Hargraves, also spoke on News Breakfast, outlining what he would like to see from police and the government after his grandson's death. Ms Scrymgour called for a review and audit of the recommendations from the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, some of which are still outstanding decades later. Since the royal commission there have been about 597 First Nations deaths in custody, according to the Australian Institute of Criminology. "The federal government needs to have a look at all of those recommendations and certainly, as the federal member, I'll be talking to Minister Malarndirri McCarthy, the new Attorney-General Michelle Rowland and also [Home Affairs Minister] Tony Burke to have a look at where are we at with this," Ms Scrymgour said. Ms Scrymgour pointed to the 2018 Review of the implementation of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, which found the 339 recommendations from the 1991 royal commission had not been completely implemented. A separate 2021 review by the Australian National University assessed that 78 per cent of recommendations had been fully or mostly implemented. "For the federal government, there needs to be an immediate review or have a look at where all of those recommendations are and to proceed accordingly," Ms Scrymgour said. "Our people are dying prematurely and that needs to be looked at." Mr White's family, along with several MPs, advocacy groups and the Central Land Council, have continued to call for NT Police to hand the criminal investigation over to a separate body. Thousands of protesters across the country supported those calls at the weekend. Mr White's family is also calling for the police officers involved in apprehending Mr White to be stood down while the investigation happens, and for all CCTV and body camera footage to be released to the family. NT Police has said two officers, who were not wearing uniforms, detained Mr White after an alleged altercation with a security guard who had accused him of shoplifting. NT Police Assistant Commissioner Travis Wurst has denied the family's request to hand the investigation over to an independent body. He said he would lead the investigation and provide oversight along with NT Police's Professional Standards Command, pledging it would be "objective, professional and transparent". "Detectives have collected a considerable amount of evidence and the public can be assured that a full and thorough investigative report will be prepared for the coroner," he said. Warlpiri elder and Mr White's grandfather, Ned Jampijinpa Hargraves, told ABC News Breakfast on Monday he wanted to hear a meaningful apology from the NT Police. "You want to say sorry? You take the belt off, take your guns off," he told ABC News Breakfast. "We are devastated, we cannot keep living like this. "I would say this [to the police]: 'Get off our back … get off our back." Ms Scrymgour, who has called for the investigation into Mr White's death to be handled by the Australian Federal Police, said an independent investigation would help Aboriginal people feel confident with the process "without fear or favour".
