Seymour & Tallis

Police have decided not to pursue an assault complaint against dumped Brisbane Broncos rugby league halfback Brett Seymour.

It was alleged Seymour head-butted a woman on the dance floor of the Regatta Hotel in Brisbane's inner-west on July 31. But one of two female complainants against Seymour withdrew her complaint while there was insufficient evidence to support taking action over the other woman's allegations.

The Broncos last week terminated the contracts of 21-year-old Seymour and utility forward Neville Costigan because they had been involved in a spate of off-field incidents.

Meanwhile, Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett says former Broncos captain Gorden Tallis is a responsible person and a fine man. Tallis is the latest rugby league identity embroiled in a controversy about public behaviour.

He's under police investigation following a complaint from a barman at Brisbane's Regatta Hotel that he allegedly threw a glass at him on Monday. His position on the National Rugby League board could be jeopardised if charges are laid.
