Terrell May fires back at the fabricated media rumours and direct attacks on his character, specifically addressing the baseless claims—amplified by Paul Kent—that he was vaping in the Wests Tigers' gym.

Terrell also opens up about the real toll these fake stories take on his family, emphasising that while he couldn’t care less about the opinions of those who don’t actually know him, having to constantly reassure his parents is the hardest part of the relentless media scrutiny.

Why Matty Johns still cries over the 1997 Grand Final

Thu, 17 Sep 2026 05:31:30 +0000

A visibly emotional Matthew Johns breaks down recounting the intense grand final week, including his brother Andrew playing with a burst lung and a legendary, tear-filled hotel room meeting led by Paul Harrigan.

He relives the frantic final seconds of the game where a childhood theory about a winger at dummy half set up Darren Albert's game-winning try.

The story caps off with absolute post-game chaos, featuring 110,000 fans swarming the team bus, a completely blank "better than Lego" TV interview, and hitching a ride through a McDonald's drive-through in the back of a police paddy wagon.

Fonua Pole on CHURCH Over AFL Dreams, INJURY HELL & BENJI's Words | MAYDAY™ Ep.21

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 23:55:00 +0000

Fonua Pole's rugby league career almost didn't exist.His mum pulled him out of the AFL pathway because match days clashed with Sunday church, and at the time, Victoria only had four junior league teams running.

The grind nobody tracked, the knee that unravelled his 2025 season, and the faith he's built his entire identity around.

He talks openly about what Benji Marshall said to him behind closed doors, and how that conversation carried him through the back half of the year when nothing else would.

Faith sits at the centre of all of it. Fonua breaks down the Psalm 121:1 tattoo on his forearm, the weekly church runs with close mate Jahream Bula, and the shift from routine religion into something he now chases on his own terms.

His message is simple: you don't need to have it figured out to believe, you just have to keep showing up, and his goals for this year start with one word on his mind. Consistency.

Mega Unit opens up about the time wasted in business and his relationships with some of international sport's most recognised names.

From dinners with Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov, to lunches with Tyson Fury, to business moves with football legends Fabio Cannavaro and Francesco Totti.

He's spent a night in Dubai with Ryan Garcia and what struck him most wasn't the fame, but it was the questions.

Curious, searching questions from a guy who, underneath it all, Mega Unit believes is extremely lonely and doesn't have a real friends around him.

Then things get deep.

He breaks down the biggest misconceptions about Islam, why the Bondi attack had nothing to do with the religion, and why most people reject it before they ever understand it.

Usually because nobody ever told them the truth about it.

The Real Nathan Cleary Story | MAYDAY™ | Ep.16

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 23:02:00 +0000

There are great players. There are champions. And then there's a rare breed who attempt to transcend the game entirely – ascending to a pantheon reserved for the truly elite.

Nathan Cleary continues to strive toward that very pinnacle of the game.

Five consecutive grand finals. Four premiership rings. Two Clive Churchill Medals. The numbers are staggering, but they don't tell the real story.

This is the man who turned pressure into performance, first grand final heartbreak into a dynasty that may well never be topped again, and a father-son dynamic that ranks among rugby league's greatest accomplishments.

I'm your host, Terrell May, and in this explosive Season 1 finale, I'm standing on business with Clez himself, the most decorated halfback of his generation, and at just 27 years old, he's only getting started.

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 23:00:00 +0000

Spencer Leniu breaks his silence on his biggest controversies and why he's ditching mainstream media to build his own platform.
