Tyrone May could wish for fame, fortune or grand finals from his NRL career, but family will suffice. Just enough money for the boy from Mount Druitt – still is from Mount Druitt – to buy his clan a new house.

"My mum [Sally] loves the area and I've always dreamt about moving her out, but she says, 'If you ever move me out, just move me to a nice house in Mount Druitt'," May laughed. "She doesn't want to move.

"But I think the old man [Jay] wants to live somewhere nice near the beaches. I don't think Mum would ever let him."

Which says a lot about the 21-year-old, near unknown a couple of months ago, who is not only filling Matt Moylan's shoes, but is walking so comfortably in them it's like he was made for the NRL.
