Wally Tallis Way is one of our new streets which navigates around Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
And now we’ve heard from Wally’s son Queensland NRL great Gordon Tallis about the passion that his father had for NRL.
Speaking to Fox League, the former Pimlico High student praised his father’s talent and all that he gave back to the Townsville community.
Many memories were brought back when reflecting on Wally’s professional NRL days…
“A guy from Townsville was sent to go play in England and got off the plane in Russia. I don’t know how that happens!” laughed Gordon.
