NSW State of Origin great, Paul Gallen has failed to attend a press conference ahead of his fight with Sonny Bill Williams.

Paul Gallen told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "Sonny Bill wasted my time for a long, long time trying to make this fight happen... So I'm thinking there's no point in me turning up at the press conference."

"He's a big enough star to handle it all, so I just left it in his capable hands."
