Graham backs his skipper to play on in 2017

While Gallen announced that this year would mark the end of his representative career with the New South Wales Blues, the inspirational lock forward has given no indication as to whether he'll run out for his beloved club again in 2017. 

Gallen has played 267 games for the Sharks since making his debut back in 2001 and has shown no signs of slowing down, averaging 147 metres per game this season.

Gallen (4-0) and Williams (7-0) both remain undefeated in the heavyweight boxing division, however busy schedules in their chosen rugby codes have meant a bout has been almost impossible.

"We're talking about it but I suppose it's just hard to line our two schedules up," Cronulla forward Gallen told Fox Sports News.
