Look I fully understand the hype re Timm last year and his work ethic, metres gained and deserved a hit out with the top grade. But what i have seen of him he wont last in 1st grade in regards to his running style and bash and barge he has and did not excite me in defence. I agree he has got a good motor but he reminds me of a lot of props that run hard but will get smashed all the time in 1st grade and lose the impact. Blake lawrie is another but has more ability with theball and in defence to me.
Timm is an old fashiioned style of prop...the new breed need something else in regards to size and skill in 1st grade. Just my take.
Interesting take ! Still doesn't excuse not giving the bloke a go when we were no chance of the 8 particularly when Latimore was in his way. In sport some players perform well but not outstanding but do the same when promoted to a far higher grade. We needed a good forward last year !
