Titan's ambassador Gorden Tallis is back ranting at Broncos senior management again. This time it's not because the club has lost its 13th game on the trot. But because they canned his day at the races. This year's coach Kevin Walters had planned an almighty piss up with the old boys, to hopefully show the youngsters like Payne Haas how to hold their drink. And not make complete dicks of themselves. Or at least not get caught. But following an intervention by the party poopers upstairs the race day was called off. This was the final straw:
“I just hope and I reckon we need to watch this space – I reckon it’s about to implode. The people above Kevvie need to support him. The recruitment officer (Peter Nolan) is the one that signs them all, the chairman, the (interim) CEO (Neil Monaghan) they need to get behind him and give him the tools to shine. To one point, the boys are down. Yes, we (the Broncos old boys) all had a chip at the side last year. We were supposed to have a race day – all the old boys and young guys. Get around them, talk to them – and they are young – and try and help them get a little bit wiser. Get an old head on a young man’s body … but it got cancelled by the people above Kevvie.”
“The Broncos had an old boys day organised to get all those blokes back in there. Whether it’s Shane Webcke or Petero Civoniceva and get all those guys going to a race day. You sit there and have a chat to the old guys and you can talk to the young group and they’re buzzing around. I loved that when I saw a Gene Miles or a Wally Lewis and I would’ve loved to have had a beer with them, bumped shoulders and talked footy. But it got canned."
It would have been awesome
“It was a great day. It was a bit damp (in Brisbane), but you know there’s always good weather inside a pub. The point is it comes from the management, which shows that if Kevvie wants to take full control of this team they've got to give him full control of this team. They need to give him full range, if he’s the coach he can’t be getting blocked. if he’s trying to set the standards, it’s got to be Kevvie’s club.”
