Gorden Tallis<\/a> has continued to take shots at the Broncos<\/a> and this time, Adam Reynolds<\/a> has found himself in the firing line.<\/p>\n

The club great has been one of Brisbane’s most vocal critics since Michael Maguire<\/a> took over as coach last season – easing off after the grand final triumph.<\/p>\n

But with back-to-back losses to start the season, added on top of a disappointing World Club challenge defeat, Tallis has come out swinging again.<\/p>\n

Prior to the round two clash with Parramatta, the training methods of Maguire were called into question, prompting a staunch response from the Broncos coach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The loss to the Eels on Thursday night has only added fuel to the fire for Tallis and the injury suffered by skipper Reynolds is now a talking point.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old left the field with a rib injury in the second half<\/a>, but Tallis has since raised concerns over Reynolds’ leadership after travelling to Sydney to work as a Fox League analyst less than 24 hours later.<\/p>\n

“It’s not great optics when if he’s really that sore, and I’ve done rib cartilage, you don’t go to the press conference and you don’t jump on a plane and fly to Sydney to do Fox Sports,” Tallis said on Triple M’s Sunday Sin Bin.<\/p>\n

“You get yourself right. When you’re down two, your club’s under fire and you’re the leader … there’s a reason why Cam Smith got brought to the club \u2013 lack of leadership.<\/p>\n

“That’s the leadership there where you would look (and hope) he’s going to give himself every opportunity to pull this club back to where it is.<\/p>\n

“That’s not picking on him.”<\/p>\n

Despite the question marks from “The Raging Bull” since the initial injury, Reynolds is confident he will be fit for the round three blockbuster against the Storm. <\/p>\n

“I had scans and they’re all positive signs, there’s no break there,” he told Fox League.<\/p>\n

“Fingers crossed I get through the week. We’ll pad it up and see how we go at training.”<\/p>\n

Broncos back-rower Jack Gosiewski will be unavailable due to concussion, with Brendan Piakura in line to return from injury and replace him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gorden Tallis has continued to take shots at the Broncos and this time, Adam Reynolds has found himself…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544172,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-544171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
