Taylan May has been stood down indefinitely by the NRL as the Penrith centre prepares to face court on domestic violence charges.
May was informed on Thursday he would fall under the game’s no-fault stand-down policy – meaning he cannot play again until his court case is finalised.
The 22-year-old had already sat out of Penrith training earlier this week, after he was arrested early on Saturday morning.
It is alleged May punched a woman in the face during an argument on April 8. He will face court on May 28.
He has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two counts of stalking or intimidating another person with the intention of causing them to fear physical or mental harm.
