Terrell May has never seen his dad cry. But one of the game’s in-form front-rowers says his father, Jay, has admitted he will shed a tear if his boy gets selected for the NSW State of Origin team.
While Wests Tigers teammate Jahream Bula stressed he had no interest in representing Queensland – he identifies as a New South Welshman, despite being ineligible for the Blues – May can add to his credentials by producing a big game against Brisbane Origin stars Pat Carrigan and Payne Haas at a heaving and hostile Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night.
May’s consistency has caught the eye of Blues coach Laurie Daley, who can only hope the likes of Haas, Sydney Roosters firebrand Spencer Leniu, Melbourne’s Stefano Utoikamanu, Warriors prop Mitch Barnett and Penrith’s Lindsay Smith all stay fit and remain in line for selection.
May, 25, who grew up in Sydney’s western suburbs, said he never watched much rugby league growing up, but always made a point of tuning in to Origin.
“I love the Origin arena and heard so many stories about the level of [intensity] – I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to play,” May said on Thursday.
“One of my biggest goals and dreams is to put on a Blues jersey.

“My dad said if I ever did, he’d cry for the first time in front of me. It would be good to see that. Hopefully, he is [crying]. If not, I’ll be crying.
“We used to have school fights with the boys who went for Queensland but were born here [NSW]. I don’t care if you’re born in Queensland and go for Queensland, but if you’re born here and go for Queensland, you’re no good in my book.”
