Sharks<\/a> great Paul Gallen has moved \ufeffto clarify comments around his "falling out" with premiership teammate Chad Townsend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gallen \ufeffcaused a stir on Saturday when he revealed on 2GB's Continuous Call Team that the two "don't get on" before describing his signing at the Roosters<\/a> as a "surprise".<\/p>\n

"When I got this job, I've always maintained I'm going to be honest in my opinion of the game and I do think it's a weird signing for the Roosters, it's not a normal signing for the Roosters to sign a 34-year-old halfback with one year to go when you've got blokes like Sandon Smith and (Sam) Walker there," he said.<\/p>\n

"When I was asked about it on radio people were like, 'hang on a second aren't you mates?'<\/p>\n

"We had a falling out a couple years ago, but there's no beef there, we're big boys, we can have an argument and move on and we'll just leave it there."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
