I believe Tim is only 23.I dont believe he started many matches and those I saw him in he looked the business.Good hands,he martials the team well.And more importantly IMO,he has a good rugby brain.I strongly suggest he is given the no 6 this season.BTW his kicking game was far more effective than Tommys IMO

Spoke to Mark Riddell tonight.

Timmy will fly back hopefully this Friday with Mark and Karli. They are all planning on travelling together

Mark should have flown today but Karli's visa has not arrived and wont arrive until Tuesday.

Mark says Timmy will definately be at wigan on 2009.

If he is brought in any slower he will be retired before he gets another game.

neither would i... someone on the coaching team are very "concerned" to put it lightly, that he wont be coming back.

haha you maybe right while brian noble is coach
but he is still young and inexperienced and playing him in every game would be a bad move
