How Benji can fix Tigers crisis; Madge\u2019s awkward Reynolds call<\/a><\/p>\nJournalists and NRL360 panellists Brent Read and Dean Ritchie were both critical of the Broncos\u2019 decision. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s pretty petty. All Gorden has done is express his viewpoint \u2026 I think it\u2019s pretty narrow-minded view they\u2019ve taken and it\u2019s quite sad actually,\u201d Read said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere does it end? What if the next former player criticises the club. Are they going to take their murals off the walls at the leagues club? It\u2019s silly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ritchie added: \u201cIt\u2019s pretty thin-skinned. It just shows how fragile that club is that they would put justified criticism in many areas ahead of a great like Gordie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tallis was critical of Reynolds for deciding to jump on a plane to appear on Fox League\u2019s NRL coverage the day after suffering a rib cartilage injury against the Eels.<\/p>\n
Amid the firestorm, Reynolds sent a message into Triple M on Sunday, part of which read: \u201cPeople need to get over it, it\u2019s an opinion \u2026 people are making a fuss over nothing\u201d.<\/p>\n
Tallis expressed some regret in how his Reynolds comments came across, stressing it wasn\u2019t personal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdam was the bigger man. I wanted to tell Adam it wasn\u2019t personal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe might have known he wasn\u2019t going to play and I didn\u2019t know that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Attention then shifted to who at the Broncos would have greenlit the removal of Tallis\u2019 name. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it would\u2019ve been a board decision. It would have come from the upper echelons of the club \u2026 we\u2019re talking (chairman) Karl Morris and (CEO) Dave Donaghy,\u201d Read said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a great respect with both Karl and Dave and I think in time, they\u2019ll live to regret it. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve missed the mark.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brisbane\u2019s stunning call to erase the name of club legend Gorden Tallis on a conference room at Broncos…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":558842,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[18743,275832,64,63,4428,6173,273477,78541,28814,763,121596,20940,761,762,158,275834,271278,85,275833,70942,45262],"class_list":["post-558841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-adam-reynolds","tag-addresses-broncos","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-brisbane-broncos","tag-club-legend","tag-conference-room","tag-dave-donaghy","tag-dean-ritchie","tag-fox-league","tag-karl-morris","tag-leagues-club","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-player-criticises","tag-rib-cartilage-injury","tag-sports","tag-street-name","tag-stunning-call","tag-triple-m"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558841","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=558841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
