Blues legend Brad Fittler has taken aim at Terrell May over his controversial Origin leak, telling the Tigers star to ‘humble up’.
The 26-year-old all but officially announced that he wasn’t getting an Origin call-up when he told another gamer: ‘You know that Blues jersey I bought you? Chuck it in the bin’.
May later joked: ‘Might have to switch my allegiance’.
Fittler wasn’t happy with May’s behaviour and delivered a scathing rant on Nine’s The Sunday Footy Show.
‘[Manly back-rower] Haumole Olakau’atu did a couple of years ago something very similar, and then last year I went into Manly and he came up and apologised and sat there and just spoke about how he was immature,’ Fittler said.
‘I really respected things he was speaking about and how light he was about it.

Fittler told the Tigers star to ‘humble up’ and labelled his behaviour as ‘pathetic’
‘I reckon maybe Terrell May should maybe ring Haumole and humble up a little bit.
‘Seriously, what are these blokes thinking? There’s people at home who just love this game. They just love it. And you sit there playing a game and all of a sudden you want to just talk like this. How blasé.
‘Pathetic.’
May has been having an incredible season and his apparent snub might come as a surprise to some footy fans.
However, former Blues star Greg Alexander isn’t sure May is ready for Origin yet.
‘A lot of his runs for mine aren’t effective runs, they’re just taking the ball up,’ Alexander said on SEN.
‘I’m not knocking Terrell May; he’s been great for the Tigers but I don’t have him ahead of some of the front rowers that can play for NSW.’
