| Quote: MattyB "He was more than that, he was a Karate Instructor 3rd Dan Blackbelt.
Could have got into a bit of trouble at the CC Final (Wire v Wigan), Iro scored and threw the ball at Drummonds face due to a dirty tackle. Drummond took offence and threw probably one of the hardest punches ever seen, karate punch to the chin.
To be fair to Iro, he handled it very well (his neck went back and then he laid into Iro, mass brawl ensued).

Quote: Mr.No.It.All "Tallis'"
Quote: Mr.No.It.All "The Wigan and Great Britain prop was involved in a fist-fight in Brisbane that came close to matching the notoriety of Holyfield-Tyson and Lewis- Akinwande. More solid punches were landed than in either of those bouts, most of them around O'Connor's head by the Brisbane Broncos' Gorden Tallis. "I didn't do too badly with the couple I got in," O'Connor says. "Broke his nose."'"
Quote: Mr.No.It.All "And O'Connor, who claimed after their bout in Brisbane that his wife hits harder than Tallis, has promised to follow his coach's advice when the two men come face to face again tonight.'"

Yep, really!!
Sonny Nickle was no angel, but I have never seen him do anything as cowardly as that.

Ballcocks. Nickle went in with elbows, fists, knees every week. He just wasn't skilful enough to connect properly, whereas our Mick (looking for a bit of retribution after a cheap smash on Robbie McCormack) managed it first time. Not nice, but don't pretend your lot didn't go in for nasty stuff - like Fogerty and his headbutt for example.
Quote: Duke Eddington "Still though, looks as though he eats bricks for breakfast. He destroyed O'Connor'"
Watch the video. Tallis looks good and lands a few by throwing them first, but when Terry connects he splats Gordon's nose all over Brisbane. When they go off Terry is just pssed off, but Tallis has to go down on his haunches holding his streaming nose, having been smacked good n' proper. |

So bust nose = loss?
Tallis easily won that one. Not saying O Connor is soft, hes not, but only a wigan fan would claim he got the better of Tallis

Watch it on YouTube. Morley runs at him. No one is 'holding him up'. Not condoning it but it was retribution for morley's cheap shot on McCormack. |

There's a video on you tube interveiwing Tallis about it, who speaks about it in very good humour. Apparently O'Connor had been sledging the brisbane players and Tallis decided to do something about it - "it didn't go as well as I'd hoped" were along the words he used.

If I remember rightly O'Connor is off balance and Tallis attacks first. O'Connor does well to stay on his feet and lands good shots of his own. Probably a draw but Tallis started it and O'Connor more than held his own.
