2024
In round 9 of the 2024 NRL season, May scored two tries in the Sydney Roosters 40-18 victory over Brisbane.[6] On 21 May, the Sydney Roosters hit back at claims that May had been taking illegal substances on a live stream along with fellow players Brandon Smith, Zach Dockar-Clay, Naufahu Whyte and Spencer Leniu. The club released a statement which read “The Sydney Roosters have been made aware of a small clip from a longer live stream that some on social media have claimed identifies behaviour that breaches NRL rules. “The clip reveals no use of illicit substances or any other breach of NRL rules, however some see fit to make that grossly distorted and clearly damaging claim".[7]
