Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2608457, member: 1899"] Just to expand on the Gorden Tallis/Wayne Bennett story and what 1910 touched on. In Steve Rickets book 'Bennett's Broncos' this is what the Raging Bull had to say about his falling out with Wayne. "I remember telling Wayne I wanted to retire [during the 2004 season], and Wayne said, 'Oh no you can't. I need you out there.'I was being selfish," Tallis recalls. "So all those things build up as to why I don't like Wayne. It's why I don't respect him as much as everyone else, because he used me up. He hasn't rang me since. he needed me at the club because of what was going to happen to the culture of the club once I left. The culture at the club was atrocious after I left. "It was attrocious towards the end [of Tallis's time] too, because I stopped caring. Wayne needed me more than I needed him. I didn't need him to play good. He needed me to win footy games. Coaches need the players more than the players need the coaches." [/QUOTE]
