would get a million complaints from the amount of bogans who watch the nrl but I'd like to see some Aussie/NZ hip hop or something like the 300 Violin Orchestra instrumental. anything different than some over the hill 70's rock band or singer.

Theres a reason that there are more calls for the "over the hill" 70's band/singer that sh*t hop.

In fact, RL has never had a metal anthem - Bon Jovi was the closest.Apart from them we have had:
Hoodoo Gurus - What's My Team
Tom Jones - What a Game
Tom Keneally - Blow That Whistle
Chumbawumba - I get knocked down (great one IMHO)
Some nuffies singing "o-oh It's My Game"
Tina Turner - Simply The Best and What You Get Is What You See (both were great because of the footage).

No metal there. No f*cking hip/hop - would be the worst musical fit to the obligatory footage of big hits and freakish tries. You may as well have some soft jazz theme ffs.

A lot of the metal imagery comes from what TV have done with Origin and FNF - especially underlying music at the end of the halves - I hear a lot of Joe Satriani (Summer Song) and Black Label Society.

We Will Rock You would be great as well. But no hip hop - its as inspiring as cold porridge.

I get the feeling it's going to come from someone like Powderfinger, Wolfmother, Living End, or similar. An aussie act from the last 15 years.

EDIT - liking the cut of your jib Butch. Some decent Aussie rock - Judge Mercy, Poor Boys, maybe even Heaven In the beginning!

Why not spend some decent money getting an original score done by a professional. Like someone who scores action flicks in the states?

I'm sure if we took the money we paid Bon jovi and Tom jones we'd could get a brilliant original song that could last for a decade instead of chopping and changing every couple years

I've always wondered how the dark knight theme would have gone as an origin theme

music from Inception worked well at origin. Gus Goulds speech before the kickoff makes me want to go poop though

We could also change the name of league central to bogan central while we're at it.

It'll be a tie-in with Ch9 for sure, so it'll probably be someone from the voice.
