Gal says he'd 'smash' every NRL player as he bids to lure money-hungry league star.

“Told me I was looking tired and ready to go to sleep. “But I can tell you all NRL players love money. “You put a dollar in front of them, they’ll jump. “Hodgo was just asking if I was ready to go to sleep,” Gallen laughs. “When I was up here promoting the fight a few weeks ago, I said g’day and shouted him a coffee.” I just need to get into the ring and fight now.” “If he enters the ring at 10pm, he’ll be unconscious by 10.02.” Told the latter plans to host his usual Gold Coast radio program at 5.30am Friday morning, Gallen laughed: “Well, he’ll have a headache. So if they (No Limit) put the money up for a player to fight me I have no doubt somebody will jump at it, no doubt at all. “Whoever they put in front of me,” Gallen shrugs. “They won’t struggle to find someone.” “Because I was a rugby league player for 20 years, I know what they’re like,” Gallen told Fox Sports Australia this week.
