Blown knee forces Timmins retirement

[_Johnsy]

Great clubman, modest bloke.

Best of luck in retirement, I for one hope the club will find a spot for him somewhere in the footy club. He may well be a great team manager.

Thanks for the memories Timmo. You were a great clubman.

My most poignant memory of him, besides the origin field goal, was a try on Anzac Day 2005. Came out of nothing.. he just barged his way on over.

 

[Hellsy]

Poor Timmo.

Well done on a great career, from a great man

LOL.

f**k is this bloke schill or what? I understand press releases, but who actually says that in this context? Good for the sponsors though.

The sponsor's paid for naming rights, so fair enough.

Good onya Timmo, great career. His gunna be f**ked in retirement tho with those knees. "So bad he cant brush his teeth in the morning" as Roy and HG said.

And yeah, searle is a tool. The jetstar gold coast titans in every sentance, AND the line about him being a great player for st george, NSW and Aust, what about 94-98 at the Steelers?

 

[Mr Saab]

i think that was '00 from memory.

Game 2 to be precise.
I was never a fan of the guy, but he gave his all.
I hope he stays away from street sweepers in the coming yrs...they are a health hazzard...esp when Danny Weidler is around

 

[Red Bear]

And yeah, people forget the type of player he was pre Knee injury's, a great centre

Timmo-legend.
I was so happy for him when he potted that origin field goal-more than made up for the time he missed a conversion from right in front to win a game for the Steelers against Nths.
Hope he stays involved in footy at some level-with his old club the Shellhabour sharks entering the Jim Beam cup there could be a position for him there somewhere.

Good on ya Timmo... absolute class player

he's going to have a very painful retirement.

plenty of arthritis, hip replacements, knee surgery etc.


he said as much in '02 after his second knee operation. he was advised by a doctor that if he made a comeback, it would be at the expense of his comfort after football in old age. he said that because footy was his life, he had no option.


i hope science advances in leaps & bounds for his sake.

If his knees give way permantly in the future,he always use a street sweeper for mobility.:sarcasm:

Gibbo, I think you'll find his junior club was actually the Kiama Knights

Shellharbour Sharks = Luke Bailey, Matt Cooper
Kiama Knights = Shaun Timmins, Morris brothers
