Timmo

[Slippery Morris]

Shock return for Timmo article in the Rugby League Week. Any chance Dragons will throw him a life line. Apparently he has been training the house down and feels 100%.

If they can get him on match payments I can't see why the wouldn't.

 

[gregstar]

welcome back timmo!


5/8 is a callin'

 

[The Preacher]

Mustn't have done any good with the council streetsweeping job.

 

[gregstar]

not true.

the council was p*ssed off that in a mere ten metre effort, timmo had done more than the average council worker & shown them up for what they are.

he's now qualified for a years wage.

 

[Slippery Morris]

He has not signed for the Dragons so unfortunately we cannot welcome him back yet.

 

[gregstar]

i'd doubt that they will sign him.

but i think the guy is a champ.

it is dissappointing that people suggest that he only has a sideways run & that's it.

how quickly they forget his pre-injury days.

the best defensive centre bar none
good pace
hard runner
great offload.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Timmo was great for us, one of my favourties, but his time has been and gone. I truly hope that he retires gracefully - don't want to see him as a fringe first grader with dodgy knees playing for Souths etc - he deserves more dignity than that.

 

[The Preacher]

He may well have a run with the Shellharbour side in the Jim Beam Cup.

 

[Red'n'White]

It will be grat to see Timmo back in the big red V. Bring it ooooooonnnnnnnn.

Exactly. A great clubman. His time has indeed come and gone. Perhaps he has more to offer rugby league, but not as a player I don't think.

He use to have a great step as well. I jizzed myself when I saw him do it down the blind side against Broncos @ Brisbane in 2005. Meeeeeeeeemoriessss.

 

[_Johnsy]

I honestly don't know weather to laugh or cry ?

 

[Slippery Morris]

Maybe they could get him on Match payments and play him at 5/8 since Gaz is ruled out for the season. Not the worst thing the Dragons could do that's for sure.

 

[Collateral]

Why cant we just put our faith in Williams?

 

[Drew-Sta]

Why cant we just put our faith in Williams?

Because that would make too much sense.

Why wouldn't we want an older, less mobile, non-ball playing 5/8 over a young, talented, up and coming playmaker?

:crazy:

Please - we have a future to consider.

Yes, all that was pre-injury, and even then he was a centre, not a 5/8.

Look, I'm prepared to forgo the close-set eyes and give him his due as a Dragons 'pretty-good', ahem not great.

However the return of the Crab (both in sideways movement and the refusal to release what has been grasped), is just not a good idea. It would be a retrograde step in the march into the future.

I'd rather see Mundine return than Timmins (at 5/8). If Timmo wanted to play on macth fees as a bench player at 2nd row or lock, groovey. But that's all for moi !
