So sitting out a year of his contract at Saints is ok by you?
Cat act.
I have no problem with him signing on and moving elsewhere once his contract was over. But SEE OUT YOUR CONTRACTED PERIOD SCUMBAG.
Besides, the story about Gould comes from where, Tallis?
Can a contract breaker be trusted to tell the truth?
Soupnazi thinks Gould was our coach in the 1990s. It was Brian Smith.
Soupie is trying to backpeddle now but he is full of it.
The story at the time was that Tallis wanted to be in the run-on side, he didn't like being on the interchange bench. It was a new concept for RL and some players thought it was like being a reserve. That is, it would give them less profile.
Tallis's ego was the real issue here. Players don't dictate to coaches, but he thought he could.
That, and the Broncos offered him a truckload of money to quit St George. It was during the whole Super League saga and part of it was the Super League Broncos wanting to destroy St George. We gave Tallis a first grade jersey playing in the Red V, we cheered for him at Kogarah, and then he becomes part of a plot to destroy St George. As a result, Tallis will be forever known as a traitor amongst fans.
I rate Tallis as the best second rower of his generation. But he didn't do the right thing by us. It's a shame, we could have used him in the 1996 grand final and who knows, he could've won a premiership with St George.
