Not enough men are in touch with their emotions, Tallis just showed even "tough" blokes are able to cry, it's great for everyone no matter if they bleed Maroon, Blue, or whatever. Plus, we are all green & gold, don't forget. Now go crawl back into your hole, from another Blues supporter.

    Probably one of the most heartbreaking and satisfying years at the Broncos was 1998. With Kevvie losing his wife to breast cancer in 1998 he became a single father with Billy only 4 years old. Craig Bellamy joined the Broncos in 1998 to work under Wayne Bennett, the team managed to secure the premiership and with Gordie winning the Clive Churchill medal. Qld also won the State of Origin that year.....Your a champion Gordie and a true friend..

    We can put our thoughts and feelings away in a box, but they never leave. At certain times they resurface, life gets real. Gordy just showing love for his brother, that's a good mate right there.

    ...And that is why Gorden was such a tough guy that fought all the time on the field cause he had passion and wore his heart on his sleeve. A true blue block!

    If a tougher guy ever played footy I don’t know who that was. There you go guys, it is ok to be human and show emotion, how can anyone have anything but respect for Gordy? Go the Blues.

    When the old footage went up on screen and seeing small Billy and his Dad, Gordy couldn't hold back the tears as he was a big part of his life
