Gorden Tallis has continued his simmering feud with the Broncos after an on-air radio reveal on Sunday regarding an altercation with a club staff member.
The former captain and premiership winner has been at odds with Brisbane for quite some time, with the likes of Adam Reynolds and Michael Maguire in the crosshairs.
Tallis then had his name removed from a meeting room at the club’s Red Hill base last month, prompted a divided opinion across NRL circles.

The latest chapter in the never-ending saga came after reports that Tallis refused to shake hands with media manager Grant Williams when the Broncos faced the Titans – a team the “Raging Bull” partly owns – in round five.

The 52-year-old confirmed the incident on Triple M’s Sunday Sin Bin, giving a light-hearted take on his version of events and defending his stance.
“Oh, what? I didn’t shake his hand, that was it,” Tallis said.
“But I shook Dave Donaghy’s hand. My wife gave him a kiss. My wife went into the Broncos box. I shook board members’ hands. What they don’t see, right, is that.

“Now I’m in trouble for what I didn’t do. That’s OK I didn’t shake someone’s hand.
“Let’s just say this right, a crisis manager [Williams] only has job when the club is in … there you go. Maybe he’s making it up.
“Do you think it worries me? No, not one bit.”
Williams previously worked in crisis management and also held a role with the NRL’s media department before joining the Broncos last year.
The club official has since responded and told News Corp he was disappointed by Tallis and the radio network airing the issue on Sunday.
“I was very disappointed that Triple M allowed Gorden to discuss this matter on the radio today in the manner he did,” he said.
“It should not have been allowed and Triple M know why.”
Tallis played 160 games for the Broncos and won the 1998 Clive Churchill Medal.
