He played for Queensland alongside such league legends as Gorden Tallis, Wendell Sailor, Mat Rogers and Mal Meninga

Later in 2001, following Queensland skipper Gorden Tallis ' season-ending neck injury before the second game of the 2001 State of Origin series, the Maroons ' captaincy was handed to Lockyer.

Gorden James Tallis ( born 27 July 1973 in Townsville, Queensland ) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1990s and 2000s.

Tallis was used to good effect off the interchange bench during the 1994 season and also made his representative debut for the Queensland side in the final two State of Origin matches that year.

The team was quickly built through a number of trades engineered by its first General Manager, Cedric Tallis, including a trade for Lou Piniella, who won the Rookie of the Year during the Royals ' inaugural season.

Nicknamed the " Raging Bull " for his on-field aggression, at the peak of his career Tallis was considered as the best second-row forward in the world and in 2008 was named in an Indigenous Australian rugby league team of the century.

Although anthems were written in the Elizabethan period by Tallis ( 1505 – 1585 ), Byrd ( 1539 – 1623 ), and others, they are not mentioned in the Book of Common Prayer until 1662, when the famous rubric " In quires and places where they sing here followeth the Anthem " first appears.

To fill the now empty cells, a mass transfer from Barnhurst after a riot there had burnt out a cellblock ( and had ended in the off-screen death of Bea Smith ) introduced five new inmates to the series – Nora Flynn ( Sonja Tallis ), a reformed triple murderess, ageing cat burglar May Collins ( Billie Hammerberg ) and her partner in crime, former fence Willie Beecham ( Kirsty Child – who had played a corrupt prison officer who was later incarcerated and murdered in the prison in early episodes ), garden-loving misfit Daphne Graham ( Debra Lawrance ) and shy but highly intelligent thief Julie Egbert ( Jackie Woodburne ).

Thomas Tallis ( c. 1505 – 23 November 1585 the Julian calendar, 3 December 1585, by the Gregorian calendar ) was an English composer who occupies a primary place in anthologies of English church music, and is considered one of England's greatest early composers.

He was next sent to Court as Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in 1543 ( which later became a Protestant establishment ), where he composed and performed for Henry VIII, Edward VI ( 1547 – 1553 ), Queen Mary ( 1553 – 1558 ), and Queen Elizabeth I ( 1558 until Tallis died in 1585 ).

The reformed Anglican liturgy was inaugurated during the short reign of Edward VI ( 1547 – 53 ), and Tallis was one of the first church musicians to write anthems set to English words, although Latin continued to be used.

Since the late 1540s Antonio and Juan both accompanied Felipe on his various trips, and visited Italy, the Netherlands, Germany ( in 1548 – 49 ), and England ( in 1554 – 56 ), where Antonio's variations may have influenced Byrd and Tallis, who latter took up the form.

* Thomas Tallis ( 1505 – 85 ), an English composer

The work takes its name from the original composer of the melody, Thomas Tallis ( c. 1505 – 1585 ).

Tallis returned to the game with the Broncos for the 1997 Super League season and was the most dominant forward in the competition, which culminated in Brisbane's crushing 26 – 8 win over the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in the Telstra Cup grand final.

In 1998 Tallis returned to St. George for the first time since his acrimonious split with the Saints and was pelted with garbage and insults and was loudly booed every time he touched the ball before his try secured a 30 – 18 victory.

Brisbane went on to capture another premiership with Tallis scoring a try and winning the prestigious Clive Churchill Medal as the best and fairest player on-field in the club's 38 – 12 1998 NRL grand final win over the Canterbury Bulldogs.

2000 saw him score a try in Australia's 52 – 0 thrashing of New Zealand in the ANZAC Test, but after being sent off in the opening State of Origin match for verbally abusing referee Bill Harrigan, Tallis suffered the ignominy of a whitewash defeat ( his public admission that the ' dead ' third match of the series should be cancelled was a momentary lapse in judgment that may have indirectly contributed to the Blues ' record 56 – 16 win ).

Most often choirs consist of four sections intended to sing in four part harmony, but there is no limit to the number of possible parts as long as there is a singer available to sing the part: Thomas Tallis wrote a 40-part motet entitled Spem in alium, for eight choirs of five parts each ; Krzysztof Penderecki's Stabat Mater is for three choirs of 16 voices each, a total of 48 parts.

If Tallis ' stature as the most dominant forward in the game wasn't secure following Brisbane's 14 – 6 win over the Roosters in the 2000 NRL grand final, his four tries in Australia's 82 – 0 humiliation of Papua New Guinea before the 2000 World Cup, and his selection as Australian captain for the match against Russia ( which resulted in a record 110 – 4 victory ) did.

Tallis scored a try in Australia's 64 – 10 win in that match and was later named Test leader ( in Johns ' absence ) for the one-off Test against New Zealand in October, which Australia also won 32 – 24.

While Tallis ' season was over ( despite the smokescreen of his naming on the Broncos ' interchange bench for the club's preliminary final ) he made a strong return to football in 2002.

But many again raised questions about his capacity to captain Australia with debate raging over the choice between Tallis or Andrew Johns to succeed Brad Fittler.

Canon Tallis reappears in the Austin family novel The Young Unicorns, where he is attached to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, the same cathedral where Madeleine L ' Engle was writer in residence for many years.

State of Origin and Australian representatives Mal Meninga, Sam Backo, and Gorden Tallis are all members of the Australian South Sea Islander community.

Tallis also worked on the coaching staff of the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

During the 2010 NRL season it was announced that South Sydney Rabbitohs head coach John Lang would be replaced by Wigan's Michael Maguire, and that Tallis ' services as forwards coach would no longer be required.

* In 1994 Swans recruit Dermott Brereton was suspended for 7 weeks for standing on Hawthorn player Rayden Tallis ' head during a practice match ; he was suspended for another 7 matches later in the season for elbowing Richmond captain Tony Free and breaking his jaw.

Only one Bronco ( Peter Ryan ) had not played in the 1992 match up and four of the Dragons ( Jason Stevens, Nathan Brown, Gorden Tallis and Phil Blake ).

Tallis celebrated a remarkable year by making his Australian Kangaroos Test debut in the second match of the Trans-Tasman series.

It was in the deciding match of the 2002 State of Origin series that Gorden Tallis performed a famous tackle on Blues fullback, Brett Hodgson, dragging him several metres and eventually tossing him out of the field of play like a rag-doll.

Part of Ian McEwan's award-winning novel " Atonement " ( 2001 ) centers on Briony Tallis, a nurse in a London hospital in June 1940, to which wounded British and French soldiers evacuated from Dunkirk were brought.

After earning his Ph. D. in musicology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1980 with a thesis on the music of Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, he returned to Paris and worked mainly as a freelance performer until returning to the United States to serve on the faculty at UC Berkeley in 2001.

The Rideau Street Chapel often showcases Janet Cardiff's exhibit Forty-Part Motet ( 2001 ), which features the melody " Spem in alium " by Thomas Tallis.
