KISS for the GF??? (2023 GF entertainment discussion)

[AlwaysGreen]

I reckon this will be awesome actually.

Nathan and his tik toc girls would have been giving the fans what they want, but seems he will be busy that day The Tina thing is pretty great. Nice one NRL.

 

[Perth Red]

Haha, cheap arses!

 

[Steel Saints]

Very appropriate. The NRL had to pay tribute to Tina Turner. She passed away a few months ago, and it's the 30th anniversary of her GF performance. This was a no brainer. Well done to the NRL for showing some class.

It is a good mix. Songs people know, League fans love simply the best but being different to get new potential audiences

 

[Perth Red]

Who doesnt love a cover band?

 

[Eelectrica]

That actually sounds pretty cool. Might actually watch the pre game entertainment for a change

Negative AFL fan alert.
You'll be watching the fumbeball dwaft or something anyway.

Ha ha, you honestly think this is a bad thing?

 

[Iamback]

Ha ha, you honestly think this is a bad thing?

If AFL does the same thing it is good

Anything NRL does he finds fault in

 

[Perth Red]

Ha ha, you honestly think this is a bad thing?

Like I said I love the local cover band at my pub, their rendition of Wonderwall always gets the crowd going. I'm sure it'll be great in the same way.

Rugby league in 2023 is pretty close to where it was in 1995

Perth Red prefers Ike Turner

AFL Red showing his lack of league knowledge. People grew up watching TT in those ads and this will be a fitting tribute. What is this plank's suggestion? Bringing back an 80+ Tina from the dead?

Stick to afl you slobbering fool.

That's a great idea, nice. Something a bit different, plus I assume Jimmy B will show up and contribute.

EDIT: Also King Stingray are pretty good

Such a sad sack of shit - We all know that TT is so nostalgic for most Rugby League fans in this country and that she's the soul of our GF entertainment. Him hating that we're going to honour her in the year of her death shows that he doesn't know Rugby League.

Like he actually cares. He will be anywhere but the NRL GF - Miami, London, the Moon, or even a stakeout outside PVLs house.

I've actually been to see the musical (with my parents who are both big NRL (Dolphins) fans - Dad's first musical, Mum an epic Tina Turner fan). They're stoked with this decision.

I'm a bit young to appreciate TT at her peak, but the musical was great and it veered into a mini-concert at the end. If they bring that energy to a stadium show, this is one of the best decisions the NRL has made for a pre-game show in recent times.

Who cares about has beens like Kiss? The NRL needs to move with the times and introduce a diversity of music that is relevant to its new and emerging audience.

Also wtf is with the reference to pub cover bands? Literally zero relevance to this topic.

 

[Hoofhearted]

Great choice, fitting that we pay tribute to Tina. From what I've heard its a great show.

If next year's promo isn't 80,000 singing Simply the Best, someone should be sacked.
