The conflict between the Brisbane Broncos<\/a> and club legend Gorden Tallis has reached a boiling point.<\/p>\n

The club has moved to re-title a conference room in the Broncos’ headquarters to honour Ali Brigginshaw and her illustrious NRLW<\/a> career.<\/p>\n

Her accolades include four premiership wins, three World Cup crowns and the title of the longest-serving Australian Jillaroo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The conference room was originally named after Tallis, with Code Sports reporting that a move has been made to erase him from the club’s headquarters.<\/p>\n

It comes as Tallis has applied the blow torch heavily on head coach Michael Maguire<\/a> and skipper Adam Reynolds<\/a>, criticising them and the club’s methods on his television and media platforms.<\/p>\n

The timing of the switch suggests the club has had enough of Tallis’ criticism and is making moves to rewrite the legacy of the Brisbane-based franchise.<\/p>\n

Broncos CEO, Dave Donaghy, advised staff that the change was made to honour Brigginshaw as one of the Broncos’ elite legends of the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrisbane Broncos<\/a> recognise the positive contributions and ongoing support of a number of club legends by way of naming various meeting rooms within the Clive Berghofer Centre,\u201d Donaghy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe naming of the Ali Brigginshaw meeting room recognises her outstanding contribution to the Broncos club since the inception of the NRLW<\/a> program, including leading the club to four NRLW<\/a> Premierships.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Broncos announced the change to their $27 million headquarters just hours before their grand final rematch in Melbourne against the Storm.<\/p>\n

Tallis played 160 NRL<\/a> games for the Broncos, as well as winning three premierships and captaining the side for four seasons during his run at the club from 1997 to 2004.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The conflict between the Brisbane Broncos and club legend Gorden Tallis has reached a boiling point.
