Grand Final entertainment

[mozza91]

Frenzel would be ideal. Worlds f**kedest merkin should be an NRL anthem.

 

[Haffa]

AC/DC

Lets not f**k around...

Ok, Dean.

 

[The Great Dane]

Surely the NRL continue with the theme from last year and get another impersonator. Elvis, MJ, Freddie Mercury, who cares as long as they know The Best.

cover bands are under rated.

Just get a Neil Diamond impersonator and be done with it.

Why do we need to spend millions on entertainment when most spectators are there to watch the game. We’re not the AFL which are screaming out for attention from the fishbowl in Melbourne.

We don’t. I guess to outsiders and casuals, the sport that gets the international acts must be a bigger deal than the one that gets the Jimmy Barnes-type entertainers. They don’t see that instead, it smacks of desperation.

I agree. It’s all blown out of proportion. Pre game entertainment should be just that. Katy Perry is yesterday’s news. Paying overs for a has been is non sensical. From memory match stats don’t include a category for pre game entertainment.

Steel Panther are touring in October. There is no other choice really.

Plus the theme of thier music matches rugby league culture.

Operative word being "most"

Get a decent act the kiddies enjoy and it may just entice a few more to be in attendance or watch - If you're just going to throw some no-name pub band up there it's going to look amateur as shit, no matter what us rusted on fans think

Bloodhound Gang would be great. I'd go to the GF even if it was Storm v. Broncos.

They’d probably have to play an instrumental set though, I can’t think of any G rated BG songs

 

[SpaceMonkey]

If Gojira can play the Olympics, they can play the NRL Grand Final. Make it happen PVL.

But it needs to be an Aussie metal band, ideally a Sydney one. Sadistik Exekution are probably up for a comeback gig…

Believe it or you not, Dean Ritchie (IIRC) wrote a column suggesting that last week after the AFL announced Katy Perry.

It's for the causal viewers attending BBQs and good for the ratings overall.

Of the list posted earlier Empire of the Sun would be a good get with PNAU.

Does the NRL still have the deal with Sony Music for entertainment?
