Everyone’s favourite inner-Syd pisshole the Lord Gladstone in Chippendale is getting in the spirit – for the Grand Final they’ve renamed the pub to the Lord Gallen, after Cronulla Sharks captain Paul Gallen. Publican Paddy Coughlan lay down why they’re backing the Sharkies this time ’round:
Even though we’re not in the Shire, we decided for this week only to rename the pub in honour of the great man Paul Gallen. We love the Sharkies and, in particular, Paul Gallen – and how he’s led the team all year is remarkable.

Woop woop. Get down there over the next couple of days before game day and you can pick up Pico DeGallen tacos too. Look, they love Paul Gallen, and we love the Gladdy.
“Paul Gallen has some mongrel in him and we love a bit of mongrel. With any luck, he, Benny Barba and Jack Bird can bring home a premiership to the Shire and the rest of Sydney,”
