With his lawyer speaking for him, May plead not guilty to all charges laid against him including the allegation he punched a woman known to him in the face.

The NRL has subjected May no its no-fault stand down rule, which means he won’t be able to play until the court case is completed.
The AVO in place against May will remain in force until the next court date.
May was arrested and charged by police earlier this month over the incidents, which allegedly took place in April.
