Read in yesterdays paper, that it looks like he will go to the Broncos. I would've thought we would want to keep him? They must be offering decent dollars for him.

Can't really blame him if he does go. Definately should have been given more time in Fg this year.

We have Tovo and Edwards who will both be better than Timmy in time IMO, not to mention Garbutt and Ailoami - and did I mention that Jarome Wilson (17 year old prop) made Ailoami look like a weak midget in the Arive Alive cup game, and Jake Finn is our best young player.

We probably need another experienced prop, but we have too many young ones.

Yesterday at the ground they said Tim/Luke Doogs will no longer be at our club next year.

It's kind of sad - you have to love how Timmy gives everything on the footy field. If he develops the body to match his heart he will be the new Webke.

In value for money terms Timmy is a million times better than Wicks.

props

Cross
Tolar
Tuafua
House
Faas
Wicks
Tovo
Edwards
and there is a chance Danny Vaughan will get a trial i suppose - and Garbutt should get a chance in the seniors.

That's plenty.

so we blood a talented young prop in FG, presumably to get him ready to become a more permanent fixture, only to let him go so we now have to blood more young kids? absolutely ridiculous

My feelings exactly B-Dos. Absolutely stupid.

Unless Brisbane offered Timmy a ridiculous sum of money I can't believe we didnt match it.

Tim is one of my favs.

While he has effort and enthusiasm in spades, sadly he is just not quick enough for NRL.

Cross is boarderline in the speed deprtment, but is more consistent in defence and carries and extra 10kg.

Compared, Josh, Edwards, Tovo, Finn and others coming through, he just simply lacks the physical attributes.

I hope he goes on to be a great player, I would never question his training ethic or his commitment, but in this day and age, you have to pick and choose which up and coming props stay on your books.

Timmy would have been a kiwi rep 15 years ago but these days even props need to be athletes. Timmy is a young O'Meley, small and stocky but lacking lateral movement and quickness, O'Meley has now become reserve grade standard due to the pace the game is being played and I think Timmy is abit the same.
At the end of the day I've rather we kept Mitch Garbutt, Mitch has got something Tim will never have, a 6'3 112kg frame

The few times I have seen him in first grade, my view he has struggled with the pace of the game. Had he stayed here Tim would have been only for depth purposes as there are more better prospects at the knights than Tim.

I cannot see him make the Broncos top squad and will languish in one of the Broncos feeder clubs all year.
