Aust rep (1998-2003. Super League: 1997)
Townsville youngster signed with Saints in 1992. The 'Raging Bull'
made an immediate impact with his trademark busting runs up the middle of the
ruck. Tallis played in the 1993 grand final and was selected for Queensland in
1994. During
the Super League conflict, Tallis was snared by the Broncos and the firey second
rower opted to sit out the 1996 season rather than play out his contract with
Saints who refused to release him. Against the odds, the Dragons went onto that
year's grand final without Tallis who played Rugby Union to keep fit.
Tallis
joined the powerful Brisbane side in 1997.
One of the greatest second rowers of his generation, Tallis
realised a dream when he was named as Australian captain in 2002.
Retired
in 2004.

to play with Saints in 2006 but a much publicised falling out with the club saw

graduate of Kiama High School, Shaun Timmins went on to an illustrious career
playing in nine State of Origin clashes for New South Wales and eight Tests for
Australia.
In all, Timmins played 210 first grade club games including number
of matches for Saints as stand-in captain.
A powerful runner and ruthless defender, Timmins was selected to play for
NSW in 2000. In the same year, he suffered a leg injury which revealed a worsening
knee condition and required a bone graft. The rare condition sidelined the State
of Origin star for approximately 18 months.
Timmins returned to the field
in 2002 and showed tremendous ability to again represent NSW and then Australia
in the July Test match against Great Britain.
He was named the club's best
player in 2002.
In 2003, Timmins played Country Origin. Then, after just one
match at five eighth for Saints, Timmins gained further rep honours when selected
at five eighth for NSW.
Unfortunately, Timmins was unable to join the Kangaroo
Tour of 2003 due to ongoing knee problems and underwent what was his fifth knee
operation.
Following another comeback from injury, Timmins once again stamped
his authority on the competition, gaining selection for the Kangaroos in the 2004
'Anzac' Test match between Australia and New Zealand.
In the same year, Timmins
was selected for NSW and was named man-of-the-match in Origin 1 after kicking
the winning field goal in extra time.
Following the 2004 Kangaroo tour of
Great Britain, France and the USA, Timmins announced his retirement from representative
football, stating that he would be focussing on winning a premiership with the
Dragons.
In 2005, Timmins played 25 first grade matches (out of 26) including
two semi-final appearances.
In 2006, Timmins overcame injuries to play 11
first grade matches and feature in the Dragons charge into the finals. In both
the 2005 and 2006 seasons, Saints fell one game short of qualifying for the grand
final.
In late 2006, with ESL and Gold Coast contracts put away, the 30-year-old
Timmins eventually took doctor's advice and announced his retirement from the
game.

from Wests.
