Tallis gained some sympathy when it was revealed that he was objecting to an offensive sign about his mother. He called me and said to head over to table 15 and say hello even though Linden and I had never met, so I did. I sit on a couch for Fox Sports next to Hindy (Nathan Hindmarsh), who was a wonderful player and won the Ken Stephen medal for on field achievements + off-field work and I reckon he would swap it for a grand final win. Peter V’Landys has done a great job getting our game back on the park and expansion is the buzzword. Tallis commentates games for Fox Sports, as well as providing written columns for newspapers.
Shortlist the sports stars you’re interested in working with. Having already signed a Super League contract to play with Brisbane, the fiery North Queenslander caused controversy when he was the only player who chose to sit out the 1996 season rather than play a final year with St George.

I think the big buildings and people going to work won’t come back for a while and people will start to work from home 1-2 days as they realise they don’t need to go into the office and sit behind the desk. He was instrumental in three Broncos premierships, of which he played the 2000 finals series with a broken arm, and for three consecutive years between 2000 – 2002 he was voted as the Dally M Prop Of The Year. Despite internal issues with Tongan Rugby League he played an enormous role in the Tongan Invitational XIII defeating Great Britain and Australia in consecutive Tests in 2019. He also got a fairytale ending by winning the 2006 premiership in his last game. [16] He was a director on the board of the North Queensland Cowboys, a role he had to relinquish when he joined the South Sydney Rabbitohs as a forwards coach. His ancestry and ethnicity has been the subject of many questions much to the bemusement of Tallis.

Since the beginning of 2015 and his positional switch he has run for more than 200m on 37 occasions, and over the last two seasons he has cracked the 300m mark twice.
