Braith Anasta has shed light on the intense confrontation between Gorden Tallis and veteran journalist Pete Badel, which escalated during a heated discussion about Adam Reynolds' injury.
In a riveting exchange, Badel questioned Tallis' assertion that flying to Sydney the day after sustaining a rib injury would not be beneficial, while the Raging Bull remained steadfast in his argument.
"It was a great watch and the situation was real and Gordie ain't letting it go, but it's divided the rugby league landscape," commented Beau Ryan on Triple M.
As the host of NRL 360, Anasta had a front-row seat to the exhilarating debate and remarked that Badel was the ideal journalist to face off against Tallis in this electric encounter.
"If there was any journo who would take him on head-to-head and face-to-face, it was Pete Badel and he delivered," Anasta remarked on Triple M.
"Pete didn't back down. And Gordie is very intimidating not only as a player. He is the Raging Bull."
