Personally, as a cultural anthropologist I prefer the authentic ethnic "Timoteo."

In any case I am pretty sure that "Timoteo" is on his passport.

But it's not his name? His name is Tim...

Unless you've seen it how would you know?

Did you play rugby at school btw, because you've got a good side step.

Yes. I played both codes of rugby at school. I was a winger with a great sidestep.

A school that played both codes, haven't come across many of those - which was that if you don't mind me asking Jean?

After extensive Googling I have not been able to find evidence of former Wests Tigers centre Simona's given name being Timoteo, even though as a Samoan it would be his likely given name. I was convinced that I had read it in the press. It is definitely the case with the fellow Samoan, St. George-Illawarra centre Timoteo Lafai, aka "Tim Lafai."

In the interests of certainty and accuracy I have changed the name in the title of the thread to "Tim Simona."

I regret the anxiety, pain and suffering that I might have caused by my bold leap into the intricacies of Samoan culture. It was certainly not my intention.

I cannot reveal this in the interests of privacy.

But I can say that I hated rugby union because I never got the ball.

Timuel is not a Samoan name. Timoteo is.
