Aaron Woods tells Gorden Tallis to get his facts right in State of Origin war of words

Triple M stablemates Aaron Woods and Gorden Tallis are pulling no punches ahead of Origin II, with the former NSW star telling the Queenslander to get his facts right in their war of words.

The interstate war of words between Triple M stablemates Aaron Woods and Gorden Tallis has continued with Woods firing back at Tallis.

The two came face to face last Wednesday on NRL 360 after Woods described Queensland coach Billy Slater as a “grub”.

Tallis was critical of Woods during his Sunday show on Triple M where the former Maroons captain said Woods had been sacked from six clubs.

“He wasn’t that brave when he was a player, he’s braver on the mic,” Tallis said of Woods.

Woods took exception to Tallis saying that his son had taken a recent photo with Slater.

“When your spokesman is Gorden Tallis that’s when you know you’re in trouble,” Woods said on his Triple M breakfast show on Wednesday morning alongside Beau Ryan and Cat Lynch.

“He said my son got a photo with Billy Slater. My son doesn’t know who Billy Slater is.

“If you’re going to get your information correct – maybe say the right stuff.

“We don’t call him the raging bull in our house any more – it is the raging something else.”

ORIGIN II: Live Game day coverage

Woods was talking with Channel 9 Today Show host Karl Stefanovic when he let fly at Tallis. Stefanovic and Woods have made a bet based around Origin II. The loser has to swim naked at Bondi Beach on Friday.

Stefanovic tried to bait Woods but highlighted Tallis’ comments before the former Kangaroos and NSW prop bit back.
