NRL set to use discretionary powers to stand down Taylan May after domestic violence arrest

Evergreen former NRL star Steve Menzies has not ruled out extending his remarkable rugby league career into his 40s.
At 39, the ex-Manly, Test and State of Origin star is the oldest player in Europe’s Super League but he continues to impress with French side Catalan Dragons.
Menzies helped his fourth-placed team to a 30-10 win over Bradford on Saturday and said while he was still likely to retire at season’s end, there was some chance he could extend his career to a 22nd season.
“There’s a small chance – maybe a 20 per cent chance – I could play on,” the Australian told the Daily Express.
“I’m thinking this is probably going to be my last year but I’ll get through this Easter period and then just have a think.
“I just want to make sure that I don’t want to play again.”
Menzies, who made his debut with Manly in 1993, moved to the UK with Bradford after helping the Sea Eagles to the 2008 title, for what was expected to be a one-season career swan song.
But, after two seasons with the Bulls and into a third with the Dragons, Menzies is not sure the adventure is coming to an end just yet.
“It has been crazy,” said Menzies, who turns 40 in December.
“I seem to get halfway through the year and think `I’m playing alright and my body feels good, I’ll just keep going’.
“That’s the way it has worked out and I’m enjoying my footy and still feel good.”
