Former Blues skipper Paul Gallen has ambushed rival Justin Hodges live on-air, vowing to meet his Queensland rival in the ring. 

The fiery Maroons legend called out Gallen following his win over Ben Hannant in a unanimous decision on Wednesday night.

“It’s all up to him,” Hodges told Peter Fegan, filling in for Scott Emerson. “If he wants to fight, I’m definitely keen to get it on and work everything out.”

It’s a challenge Gallen hasn’t let lie for long, tonight agreeing to State of Origin-esque terms on 4BC Drive after gatecrashing Hodges’ live interview under the guise of ‘Paul from Cronulla’.

If the Blues win this year’s Origin series, the pair will face off in NSW, while Gal has promised to come to ‘two-head town’ if the Maroons take the decider.

“But I’m pretty sure the Blues are going to win,” Gallen claimed.

“Half the people want to see me knock him out, half the people want to see me get knocked out. That’s the way it is!”
