Paul Gallen and Justis Huni had a fiery encounter on the sidelines during the Sharks' Magic Round loss to the Rabbitohs.<\/p>\n
With Cronulla trailing 14-0 in the first half, former Sharks captain Gallen was spotted on the sideline watching his beloved club when cameras caught Huni seated right behind him in the stands.<\/p>\n
Huni stuck his thumb down towards Gallen which saw the Sharks great spin around and flip the bird straight back.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The pair appeared to trade some terse words before staring each other off.<\/p>\n
Suncorp Stadium went ballistic, showering Gallen, a NSW great, with boos.<\/p>\n
"That's Justis Huni and Paul Gallen," Fox Sports caller Dan Ginnane said in commentary.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Paul Gallen not showing him much respect, and Braith they're not booing Huni.<\/p>\n
"That's WWE stuff. You've got Huni just prowling these sidelines. There's 50,000 seats here and he's sat directly behind Gallen."<\/p>\n
Speaking to Nine following the night's action of footy, Gallen lifted the lid on what was going on between the pair. <\/p>\n
"It was a bit cheeky him giving me the thumbs down, so I had to give him the bird," Gallen said.\n<\/p>\n
\n"It would have been a worry if I jumped the fence.
\nHe's going to get the G-Train in the ring. "<\/p>\n
The two men are slated for a June heavyweight superfight which will likely be set for Sydney.<\/p>\n
