Silverchair Members Respond to Public Plea to Play Knights Grand Final
The league will instead use the pre-game slot for a prime-time lap of honour after talks with another performer collapsed.
- The NRL will honor Rabbitohs player Jai Arrow with a lap around Accor Stadium during the Grand Final, as rock band Silverchair confirmed they will not reunite for the pre-game performance.
- Earlier this week, former Knights player Andrew Johns urged the band to regroup for Sunday's match, but Silverchair officially declined, stating they are "way too rusty" to perform.
- Band members Daniel Johns, Ben Gillies, and Chris Joannou released a joint statement confirming they "actually agree wholeheartedly about something: GO KNIGHTS!!!" while wishing the team luck.
- After talks with Tones broke down, the NRL scrambled to fill the prime time slot; NRL supremo Peter promised the 11-minute pre-game segment will be "very entertained."
- More than 80,000 fans will pack out Accor Stadium for the premiership decider between the Knights and Roosters, with the NRL pledging $1 million toward grassroots rugby league development.
