Paul Gallen
Paul Gallen - NRL Legend | Heavyweight Boxer | Straight-Talking Commentator
Paul Gallen isn’t your typical after-dinner speaker – and that’s exactly why audiences love him.
A former NSW State of Origin captain and Cronulla Sharks premiership winner, Gallen carved out one of the toughest reputations in rugby league. After 19 years at the top, most athletes would hang up the boots. Not Gallen. He went on to become a pay-per-view boxing drawcard, taking on some of the country’s most feared fighters and never once taking a backward step.
Today, Gallen’s transition into media has been just as punchy – known for his unfiltered honesty as a panellist and commentator on Nine and Fox League, he’s become one of the most talked-about voices in Aussie sport.

Paul doesn’t do fluff. What you get is straight-up honesty, high energy, and genuine insight – whether he’s talking footy, boxing, media or mindset. He’s authentic, relatable, and refreshingly raw.
But where Gallen really shines is in Q&A format. Whether it’s a corporate lunch, sports awards night or leadership session, audiences get to ask what they’ve really wanted to know – and he doesn’t dodge the hard questions.
From Origin feuds and behind-the-scenes NRL dramas, to boxing banter and media scraps – nothing’s off-limits.
