#28 | Gorden Tallis

[@gregoryjohn6187]

Mate....I'm Blue to the bone, but I love Gordy Tallis. To me he has always represented how a man should carry himself. Heart of Gold, tough as teak!

[@BackstagewithCooperMattyJohns]

What a great bloke he is

[@stuartironside8930]

Without a doubt, the best league interview I’ve ever seen 👊

[@howiebling76]

would love to see chief on the podcast would be a great listen, he doesnt get the mention he should these days

[@michaelperry-r7e]

👍 right on

[@zk-xy1yw]

Awesome poddy with The Bull, what a bloke Gordy is

[@dannyboy9573]

As a Townsville boy myself Gorden Tallis is a legend and such an understated example, I never knew the true man behind the raging bull. What a proud family man and even apologising to Harrigan, this is a special person.

[@michaeltraenor7408]

Good shit Gorden. Great show guys

[@BackstagewithCooperMattyJohns]

What a great fella

[@crofty0734]

Gordie was my best players when I was young teenager I loved because he was relentless.

[@SoOwOoSwaGGa]

Gordy was my hero growing up watching him play for the maroons would give me goosebumps

[@matthewreid5173]

Love Gordy what a champion, imagine that fight with him and blocker surely they would of cleaned up the bouncers

[@Kingydawg]

What a legend

[@chrissteer3733]

All the edits in the blocker story. Would love to hear the original

[@Who_You]

It's in Tallis' book. It was the south Sydney rabbits he took on

[@TrevorManetoa-w5g]

Gordon your right.

[@vetaiapettitt9749]

Went to Suncorp dressing room one time through footlocker who was promoting the Nikey footy boots and they heard Gordy was at the bar this was a Thursday night. They ask if he could come talk about the new boots. Bit tipsy he said yeah why not. While speaking my mate said something I found funny. Gordy notice and ask mate what’s so funny? Why are you laughing. I said or nah nothing mate while my life flashed before my eyes it was me in a blues #1 jersey getting ragged doll by the ragging bull himself. Safe to say I never spoke or smiled the rest of the light 😅

[@tytutu9625]

Great story! I believe Gordy is a man of integrity, morals and RESPECT! You can tell he’s the most down to earth man and he’ll give everyone respect but as soon as you show him disrespect or anyone his with disrespect, he’ll turn faster than Ike on Tina Turner 😂😂😂 But that’s the type of men you were dealing with back then, they are gentlemen and as soon as you cross the line, they were very direct and confrontational… Did you see how he questioned Cooper in this interview about Cooper laughing and Gordy asked him, “What’s funny mate, about being a single Dad?” When Gordy was talking about Reece Walsh being a single Dad, Cooper was laughing but Cooper cleared up that he wasn’t laughing at Reece Walsh

[@beatosenivatalala.4008]

❤ awesome

[@TrevorManetoa-w5g]

Back in the days Melbourne players were from Queensland and New Zealand

[@TrevorManetoa-w5g]

Gordon get your own pod

[@teratavincent-hillman8197]

I liked Gordy then didnt .... and now i do again lol

[@BackstagewithCooperMattyJohns]

We love him hahaha

[@michaelperry-r7e]

His Ok 😂

[@TrevorManetoa-w5g]

Broncos only had one team in the comp back in the day....now Queensland have 3 teams

[@maxfish4770]

The big fella cops some stick these days. Met him years ago on great Keppel Island, we had been fishing for 12 days and probably smelt like a fish market but Gordy was chatting and asking how we went. Don't think hid gf/wife was too happy 😂

[@anthonypulvirenti6851]

Gents, get Fletch on.

[@LambethSons]

Never knew Marty Johns was a Catholic

[@adamhughes3751]

Matty, brother, stop with the breathing into the microphone.

[@michaelperry-r7e]

He learned that off fletcher

[@TrevorManetoa-w5g]

Gordon keep talking

[@TrevorManetoa-w5g]

Don't you want managers to have an Idea of the game?

[@elgordo9031]

Lies gordie! I saw you with Dane carlaw at beach hotel in Byron Bay on your end of season trip (Bali not possible due to bombing) in early '00s with 2 smoking blondes. They were hanging off your guns! One may have been your missus, but two? But you did have hair then.

[@DarrenKatsoolis]

The Dragons gave Gordon a great opportunity and a start to his rugby league career and he repaid them by not opting to not continuing to play at the famous club and to sit out for a year. To be honest I didn’t rate him as he was a player I think whenever he lost form he resorted to grubby play fighting and cheap tactics.

[@Fordtrain]

blah blah blah, he won how many grand finals after leaving that turd of a club the dargons?

[@hansoloburger2322]

Talk about holding a grudge jezus

[@howiebling76]

let it go mate its been almost 30 years

[@mariobalotelli5682]

Hey Coop, honestly mate are you sure u think you’re funny or are u just in a job because daddy has some connections? Probs the only thing saving u from the doll😂😂

[@danielhoward8374]

covid is a scam FFS!!!!!!!! you just lost me matty

[@Codie__]

Clearly a ripper of a bloke. But just not suited to 360 unfortunately

[@tytutu9625]

He’s better on 360 than that mess of a thing named Paul Kent lol

[@foxxof6022]

Good guy & Great with his fists...He could definitely throw-em! But his greatest claim to fame "Was throwing a fully wet 75 Kg Brett Hodgson over the sideline. Sorry guys...Overrated player in my opinion! Just my opinion...

[@glenlcampbell1122]

He's a lump. Used to love seeing him get whacked by the Warriors in the early 2000s. Kevin campion, Awen Guttenberg, Monty betham etc

[@hoodoussadlay]

Hahahaha Brisbane bronchokes

[@dorkwell]

Show us your trophy. At least they're all out there giving it a shot, unlike some.

[@maxfish4770]
