State of Origin they say, is the leagues jewel in the crown. The fans outlay big bucks to attend, 80,000+ at last nights game and millions of diehards watching on tv. You would think common sense would prevail at NRL headquarters (for once) and they would go all out on pre game entertainment.

Wrong. The executive team, after months of brain storming came up with some face painting, beating drums, Shannon Noll having a sing off with Ben Mingay??? and Cold Chisel being interviewed about their Grand final appearance. Truly embarrassing viewing.

Amateur hour again Mr Smith, is that the very best you could come up with for the fans who spend their hard earned to attend the game and show case this major event? The NRL is the laughing stock of every other code and sporting organisation around the world who would have watched that.

My year 6 school fete had more thought and entertainment than that crap dished up last night.

Maybe you could hand out toffee apples and set up a lucky dip stand at the grand final?

  • At least we've got Cold Chisel at the Grand Final. The less said about the pre-match "entertainment" the better.

      Too funny Super

      I just put my GF tickets on eBay for 99c now I know The Screaming Torn Tonsil will be there.

  • My thoughts exactly .worst entertainment ever seen in my life . That's why the NFL are the best at entertainment
  • .....and let's not mention the half time entertainment extravaganza,,,,what was it , a kicking comp or something else akin to your year 6 fete....... where a crowd member was supposed to catch the football lol

    excuse me if i didn't get it right....needless to say...i wasn't really paying attention to it lol

  • I agree, it was a joke, as it has been for what seems like forever.

    I guess we should be thankful that it wasn't a My-Chef's-Master-Kitchen-Has-A-Hotplate-That-Rules cooking extravaganza.

  • You would think it would hard to exceed the innefible craptaculousness of last year with the lady-boys of Justice Crew,but you have to hand it to the NRL,they always manage to make the previous year's oxygen thieves look like Queen live at Wembly.They must be spending all that cash on Davey Boy's and Greenturd's salaries.
  • How did you get the scoop Kramerica? The Little River Band are at playing next years GF, but the John Farnham version. Glenn Shorrock pulled out. 

  • Is Cold Chisel the band that sings "We can't be beaten"?

"If Ryles had the players he wanted we would have been firing on all cylinders. But since we can't sign anyone to improve the other players around them, stick around for more false flags like this."
