Gordon Tallis' beef

Does he hate the Broncos or just Wayne Bennett? He seems very anti-bronco at times for a bloke that sat out a season so that he could join them).

He considers himself a North QLD boy, despite playing for the broncos for the best part of his career. He also sat on the Cows board at the time we tried to sign Bennett as coach. A move which he blocked because he's borderline geniused.

And now he's a Titan, apparently.

Never understood how he seems to be some sort of moral compass despite him refusing to play for the dragons when he had a contract. Wanker and hypocrite of the highest order.

And yes the story is he used his position on the NQ board to block them signing Bennett for 2009.

Doesn't it stem from when Tallis broke his neck? Wayne tried to rush tallis Back but tallis wanted to take it slow and gain confidence? It simmered beneath the surface but after tallis retired he really started to attack Bennett

All the more sweeter it will be for Bennett if the Broncos win

it really pisses me off how he claims to be a north queenslander but never played for them

Maybe it stems from Tallis only wanting to play 15 mins every game and Bennett made him play 20.

I think Bennett prefers his players to have more than a remedial command of the English language.

It is an issue which hasn't been raised during negotiations with Fox Sports or the Nine Network.

Tallis explained it on triple M but I've forgotten. Think it was about Bennett benching him in his last game or the final season, or I might be mixing that story up with another player.

Tallis and hodges were both people that lacked principle and it caught up with them. It's called karma. Tallis sat out a year of a signed contract for st George to play for super league for Brisbane . Hodges played many a dirty league game and lost his last game as an nrl player in gf . It's karma for lacking principles fellas . Bennet lost this one bit will be back . The other aforementioned two go
Out in my eyes as being "dog " players.
