Gold Coast Titans wish Shaun Timmins - 'all the best'

[Shadow XL]

Jetstar Gold Coast Titans Managing Director Michael Searle this afternoon congratulated Shaun Timmins on an outstanding NRL and representative career and wished him well for the future, following a mutual decision by the pair to end negotiations that could have seen the former State or Origin and Test star playing for the Jetstar Gold Coast Titans next year.

After consulting a knee surgeon Timmins has been advised to end his playing career.

Searle said:

"I am very disappointed obviously from a Jetstar Gold Coast Titans point of view, but more so for Shaun that the surgeon's prognosis on his injured knee wasn't more encouraging, however I do want to thank Shaun for his honesty and understanding during our preliminary talks.

"Shaun has been a tremendous player for St George, New South Wales and Australia over many years and would have been a fantastic inclusion to Coach John Cartwright's squad, but at the end of the day there is nothing more important than your health and we would like to wish Shaun the very best in his recovery and for the future."

Good to see honesty all round.

thanks for posting that.

Seems like the best outcome. He'd have been a valuable signing, but only if he had the miles left in his knees. He's had a great career and goodluck to him with life after footy.

Good to see honesty all round.

Congrats on a Sensational Career Shaun, you have made Rugby League a better place... and you served NSW so well, who can forget your field goal in SOO...

Thanks for the memories, shame the knee has ended it all, but you are a champ and good luck for the future, we will miss you... it has been a great journey, and you gave us many great times, so I will forever be glad that you were able to grace our screens and hearts.

Sad to see him go, He still has a bit off footy left in him. I wish him well for the future.

I always knew that those things (some call them knees, in Timmo's case, it was just 2 bones on top of one another ) would catch up with you in the end. It is a shame to see you go, but I have already come to realise the fact that you are gone Thanks for the memories mate
