Surely there must be some sort of ruling that covers this sort of stuff? Not foul play but some sort of contrary conduct rule?

Taylan May charged with DV offices, stood down by Penrith from Warriors match | Daily Telegraph​

The future of Penrith Panthers star Taylan May is under a cloud after he was charged with assaulting his wife.
May has been stood down from playing this weekend after he was accused of punching Jessika May in the face and leg during an argument at a home in Werrington in Sydney’s west on April 8, police said.

Questions will now be raised within the NRL over the status of May’s playing future given the serious nature of the charges.

The 22-year-old, who had been listed to play against the Warriors on Sunday during the NRL flagship Magic Round, was arrested at 5am on Saturday at a Penrith address and was charged with domestic violence-related assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two counts of stalking or intimidating with intent to cause fear or physical harm.

Police have also taken out an interim Apprehended Violence Order application to protect Jessika.

May was absent from the Panthers game against the Tigers in the week following the alleged incident after he was stood down for “personal reasons”.


The couple were only married last year in a glitzy ceremony, which the club posted on its official Instagram account.

May was named in Penrith’s team to play the Warriors in QLD on Sunday.

Criminal lawyer Paul McGirr said the charges do not trigger the NRL’s automatic stand down provisions because they carry a maximum penalty of less than 11 year.

‘But the NRL has obviously decided to use their discretion on the issue given the circumstances and stand him down anyway,” Mr McGirr said.

Last month he withdrew from a match against the Tigers because of personal reasons.

He only re-signed with the Panthers until the end of 2026 in March

The NRL and Panthers have been contacted for comment.

May was granted conditional bail by police to appear before Penrith Local Court on May 28.

NRL: Penrith Panthers sack star Taylan May over domestic violence charges​

Taylan May has scrapped plans to sue Penrith for attempting to terminate his NRL contract, instead accepting a payout to leave the club with immediate effect.

May officially became a free agent on Friday, when the stood-down centre was finally released from his contract following two show-cause notices.

AAP has been told May has already received interest from clubs locally and abroad, including in rugby union.

The parting of the ways comes as the 22-year-old continues to fight domestic-violence charges stemming from an alleged incident involving his wife on April 8.

May has pleaded not guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two counts of stalking.

He has been subject to the NRL’s no-fault stand-down policy since he was charged in May, and is unable to play until at least March 2025 when the matter is due back in court.

The centre could still sign with an NRL club while suspended and return to play depending on the outcome of the legal proceedings.

May had re-signed with the Panthers in March but the triple reigning premiers sought to terminate his contract during his stand-down.

The club issued the Samoa international with a show-cause notice in May, relating to matters outside the domestic-violence charges.

That notice is believed to have included an October 2021 incident in Queensland, for which May was found guilty of assaulting a man during Penrith’s grand-final celebrations.

No conviction was recorded over that incident.

May also raised eyebrows when a video was posted to social media earlier this year that appeared to show him in the passenger seat of a speeding car.

After a meeting between May and Penrith early last month, the club issued the centre with a second show-cause notice over the domestic-violence charges.

That prompted May to launch legal action in the Federal Court, seeking damages and compensation and claiming the Panthers had breached employment laws.

On Friday, Penrith announced the player had accepted an undisclosed sum to leave the club at which he made his NRL debut in 2021.

AAP has confirmed the civil matter between May and the Panthers has been closed.

“Taylan May is departing the Penrith Panthers effective immediately and is seeking other opportunities,” Friday’s club statement said.

May played the last of his 30 games for the Panthers against Canterbury in round 10, with new recruit Paul Alamoti since firming as his first-choice replacement in the centres.

The club lured Asu Kepaoa from Wests Tigers mid-season as cover and also have young guns Jesse and Casey McLean available to play in the outside backs.

High-profile rugby league television personality Paul Kent has launched proceedings against News Corp over his dismissal after a late-night street brawl in Sydney’s inner west.

Kent, who co-hosted the program NRL 360 on Fox Sports and wrote for the Daily Telegraph, pleaded guilty to affray over the incident in which a stranger propelled him into a roadside tree. A magistrate placed him on a two-year good behaviour bond.

News Corp’s The Australian reported two days before he fronted Downing Centre Local Court that he had “parted ways” with the media company.

The 54-year-old is challenging the manner of his termination with an application to the Fair Work Commission scheduled for a hearing in Sydney next week.

The application, which pits Kent against Nationwide News, a subsidiary of News Corp, is to “deal with contraventions involving dismissal”. It has been filed under Section 365 of the Fair Work Act, which concerns disputes over dismissals.

Unfair dismissal cases before the Fair Work Commission first go to confidential conciliation and then progress to arbitration in the form of a hearing if that fails.

Kent’s employment lawyer, Henry Coventry, declined to comment on Wednesday. Kent and News Corp were also contacted for comment.

The dispute over his exit from the media giant indicates the polarising commentator is intent on going down swinging.

There were signs that all had been far from well in the relationship between Kent and News Corp when he faced court over the alcohol-fuelled altercation that derailed his career.

George Elias, the solicitor representing Kent in that matter, told the court in July that his employer had provided him “no help” when he was charged last year and ultimately cleared of a domestic violence offence.

Kent was stood down by News Corp during the seven months in which he defended that charge and was not paid his normal salary while suspended, Elias told this masthead.

He was also not provided with counselling last year or paid his usual salary while stood down after the fight this year, Elias said.

“He did his job 100 per cent. Daylight was second to him in terms of his performance [on NRL 360]. It was much more watchable [with him],” Elias said.

“As a human being, I would have thought that [for] a person that has given loyal service for over 22 years, the employer would show a little more compassion when the person is not guilty.”

Elias previously told a court that Kent had turned to alcohol to cope after facing domestic violence allegations that he always denied. The court heard he had consumed 21 schooners of beer on the day he clashed with another man, Tamer Uzun, outside the Three Weeds Hotel in Rozelle in April.

He had been drinking nearby at his favourite watering hole, the Sackville Hotel, throughout the afternoon before passing the Three Weeds on the way back to his home in Lilyfield.

According to police documents read out by magistrate Jennifer Price in July, Kent was reacting to a taunt from the 35-year-old that “you like to bash women” when he approached Uzun, removing his watch and cocking his fists before coming to blows with him.

Kent, who was left with injuries including broken ribs when he was then lobbed into a tree, had sought to have the charge of affray dealt with on mental health grounds after seeking treatment for alcohol problems and a major depressive disorder.

That application was unsuccessful, although he avoided having a formal conviction recorded.

Uzun has pleaded not guilty to affray, and his lawyer asked for the charge to be dropped by police.

He is next due to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on August 21.

"Hello NRL Integrity Unit, it is the South Sydney Rabbitohs calling. Just a heads-up one of our players, Latrell Mitchell, is now a keen baker and there may be a photo circulating of him measuring out some ingredients so he can bake a cake for one of his teammates' birthdays. He got up very early that morning to make sure the cake was freshly baked, so the photo in question would have been taken around 0400. It has been a challenging year for Latrell and applaud his interest in a hobby that is often seen as a stereotypically female hobby. If anything, he should be celebrated. We do ask that in the interests of gender equality, everyone respects his new hobby and care for his teammates and advise that anyone suggesting illegal activity will be charged with defamation by our solicitors..."
