Recently exiled Broncos legend Gorden Tallis has weighed in on assistant coach Ben Te’o<\/a> and his shock resignation at the club.<\/p>\n

Te’o and head coach Michael Maguire<\/a> were involved in a verbal altercation in the buildup to the side’s win in Melbourne last weekend, as reported by the Sydney Morning Herald.<\/p>\n

It resulted in a crisis meeting, which saw Te’o and Maguire unable to resolve the situation and subsequently led to him handing in his resignation as the Broncos assistant coach.<\/p>\n

With the club recently erasing Tallis as the title of a press conference room in their $27 million headquarters, Tallis has his say on where the Broncos should move to next.<\/p>\n

He has called for the Broncos to bring back Allan Langer as an assistant coach, instilling a powerful level of club culture and passion that ‘Alfie’ brought before his departure.<\/p>\n

“It’s strange, I’m sure not every coach and assistant coach see eye-to-eye on how they’re going and what they’re doing every week,” Tallis said on NRL360.<\/p>\n

“It’s strange with the success they’ve had that the relationship has split apart.<\/p>\n

“I’m shocked, he’s just re-signed \u2026 they thought there could have been a dynasty. Four rounds in, he’s decided to leave. I heard Ben is comfortable with his decision.<\/p>\n

“Madge has asked me to come in the four walls and I’ve declined.<\/p>\n

“Allan Langer needs to go back and get in the four walls and get in the blue shirt.<\/p>\n

“There’s no one that brings a side together like Allan Langer and if I was at the Broncos right now, with that playing group vulnerable and blokes leaving with the uncertainty, he’s the guy that’s always held every team together.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Langer, who was a champion Broncos halfback in his playing days, was the club’s long term ‘blue-shirt trainer’ before leaving at the end of 2024 in a change of guard with Maguire’s staff.<\/p>\n

It has been a shaky start to the Broncos’ title defence season, with off-field issues dampening their great win on the weekend over the Melbourne Storm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite ongoing criticism of Maguire’s start to the season, Broncos chief executive Dave Donaghy has thrown his support to the two-time premiership winning coach.<\/p>\n

“Our coach does an incredible job, he busts his backside every day and works incredibly hard,” the Broncos head honcho said.<\/p>\n

“I can’t be any more clear – he’s done a brilliant job for our club, he constantly puts the club first. He’s done an amazing job and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.<\/p>\n

“We know that Madge has been brought in to do a job that he’s doing and he’s supported by some high quality assistant coaches as well.<\/p>\n

“Whilst it’s not ideal [Te’o leaving], we’re very confident in the people we’ve got.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Broncos will need to push the noise to the side when they draw their focus towards facing an in-form Dolphins<\/a> side at Suncorp this Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Recently exiled Broncos legend Gorden Tallis has weighed in on assistant coach Ben Te’o and his shock resignation…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":346651,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-346650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346650\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/346651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
