NRL great Paul Gallen has been involved in a bar fight on NSW’s south coast, with the incident caught on camera.
Gallen denied throwing a punch in the fight that took place with a patron at the Shoalhaven Heads Hotel last Friday night.
“I didn’t throw a punch,” Gallen told The Daily Telegraph.

“The video doesn’t show the entire situation.
“I’m more disappointed for putting myself in this situation.”
Gallen is an NRL commentator and his colleague Mark Levy was also at the establishment and attempted to de-escalate the melee.
Levy could be heard saying: ‘Stop it. Enough, enough. Gal, stop’ as the NRL player-turned boxer is wrestled to the ground by several men.
In another video, a bar staff member is seen wiping Gallen’s face with a cloth when someone in the pub sledges former Sharks captain with “thinks he’s mad” which prompted him to charge towards the man.
