Gorden Tallis Rejects Peace Offer from Broncos Coach

Broncos legend Gordon Tallis has declined a peace offering from newly appointed coach Michael Maguire after an awkward encounter on NRL grand final day. Tallis, who has been critical of Maguire’s appointment following the sacking of coach Kevin Walters, stated he does not feel the need to be friends with any coach, emphasizing that his opinions are his own and not influenced by the Broncos old boys. Maguire, who has a successful background including a Pacific Championships win with New Zealand, faces the challenge of unifying a team that has dropped to 12th place in the league despite a star-studded roster. Tallis remains supportive of Walters and has questioned Maguire's coaching credentials, believing that the club should seek top-tier coaching talent. This ongoing dispute highlights potential tensions within the Broncos' powerful old boys club, which has previously affected coaching decisions.
