The Tackle That Started It All
And it was with that intensity that I fell in love with rugby league, with Gorden Tallis and the Brisbane Broncos (which is who Gordie played for at the time - damn lucky that).

5 Witty Remarks:
Nooooooooo.... as soon as I read the header I knew which tackle it was going to be. Would be a penalty these days the dirty grub. Poor Hodgo :-(
And you're a bitch for bringing it up. Hope you've made room in your kitchen for that new spoon come September!! :-P (well, you slight Hodgo, you slight me lmao!)fuggedaboudid!
Oh dear dear dear... I thought come Origin time you reverted to your maroon roots. You know as well as I that they get away with stuff in Origin that would never happen in the regular season. But really it was the intensity that Gordie played with... and seeing him treat Hodgo like a ragdoll was funny. :-)
Wooden spoon? Never!!!
LOL you can use that spoon to cook me dinner when I kick your butt in the tipping comp this year! I'll bring entree and dessert for the last 2 years I've lost and not paid up :-/
And yes, the old Gordie did have a good bit of mongrel in him.
Ragdoll he was!!! LOL!!!!
I do however, think those types of tackles are a tad OTT.
The look on Gordie's face. Scary!
Poor Miss Wests Tigers Fan..... ya gotta laugh! You should be following a QLD team anyway, being a Queenslander yourself. There are three to pick from, though I don't much care for Nth Qld now they have that great oaf.
How my life has changed. Can't believe I'm even talking football! I only like to watch the 11s and 15s, and of course, the 7s!
Not much rugby here in the states, but it did remind me of a block that Johnny Bucyk threw in the first Bruins (hockey) game I ever saw in person. The guy charging at him with the puck must have flown eight feet into the air and Bucyk, on skates mind you, didn't even move.
I love to see real intensity in any sport.
