In 2004, Gasnier was dropped from the NSW State of Origin team following a complaint that he had made a lewd telephone call to a woman. After a night of heavy drinking he and team-mates Anthony Minichiello (who was also dropped), Craig Wing and Craig Gower were in a taxi when Gasnier rang a number on Minchiello's mobile phone, leaving an obscene message. Gasnier told the woman "Where the fuck are you? There's four toey humans in the cab and it's twenty-to-four. Our cocks are fat and fucking ready to spurt sauce, and you're in bed. Fuck me fire up, you sad cunt".
