Tina Turner rocked rugby league in the 1990s and the NRL grand final will go retro in 2023 with a musical tribute to the late superstar set to headline the pre-show entertainment.
The NRL family felt the passing of Turner in May as much as anyone in the world given the rock icon’s lasting impact on the game through arguably one of the greatest marketing campaigns in Australian sport, rugby league‘s “Simply the Best” campaign in 1990.
The NRL and NRLW premiership matches mark 30 years since Turner‘s celebrated performance at the 1993 grand final when she sang with Jimmy Barnes. “I’m disappointed to be honest… look I love Tina Turner, I met her a couple of times, but I think we as the NRL should do better, our fans deserve better,” Sailor told Triple M.“They need a headline act, they need to go all in, they dropped the ball again.”Sailor’s sentiment was shared by many NRL fans, who flooded the comments section of the NRL’s official grand final entertainment announcement post on X .
