Greatest hits, I've never heard of them

Glad it isn’t just me who don’t know who they are.

Trust me when I asked in my family I was met with blank looks and shrugs of the shoulders..

Who?

Me too!! Hardly a headline act is it?

Must have an album to promote and paid the RFL. lol

Regards EW

Well I have heard of them, but couldn't sing you any of their stuff. You'd have thought with Simon Moran in RL then someone a bit more crowd pleasing could be found! I suspect I will remain in the bar.

I viewed them on youtube, I didn't like them, they seem to be influenced by Aha

If you’ve not heard them, listen to them. They’re a superb band and a brilliant signing for the Grand Final.

I suspect only one person who has posted above is under thirty.

Why should that matter

Great band and good call by the rugby League, guess Fleetwood mac or Toto were unavailable,

I checked out 5 or 6 videos by them and I really can't see how they are a great band, Nothing more than pop music that will be forgotten as quick as David Gray was. I would rather the RFL had picked a proper band like Church of the Cosmic Skull

They are current and a band that does the festival rota. Young & Northern, I have absolutely no problem with this type being booked for GF entertainment. How many people actually pay attention to the band on a GF night anyway? Moan moan moan.

Bang on 30 actually

Who?



I can’t honestly believe some RL fans. Genuinely everything he RFL do is whinged at, can’t do right for doing wrong!

Google them, If you are a true music fan you will enjoy them but if you think Hip Hop, Rap and Tinchy Stryder is actual music then you won't

Who? He sounds like he’ll be a decent winger



The only hip hop you’ll find me listening to is the old skool 1990’s NWA, Tupac and Biggie Small’s classics! Other than that give me some indie and rock n roll!

I can tolerate NWA but no other rap or hip hop, Guitar orientated music all the way for me, Psychedelic, Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Classic Metal, Thrash Metal, Hair Metal, Country, Alt, Americana, Folk etc But NEVER EVER Ed Sheeran

Really, Really Angry they didn't get Metallica or Iron Maiden.

It's a complete disgrace.

Well I can remember the Ozzies getting Tina Turner, who sang 'Simply the best' for their Grand Final.

Not too long after we had Diana Ross at Wembley.

If they have live bands, should they not appeal to all ages that a RL crowd comprises ?

These young 'uns who all think "our new music is the best". You will soon grow out of it. I liked/like Northern Soul [ia la[/i Wigan Casino. But I wouldn't impose my tastes on an audience of the general public.

Just my opinion here. But if the RL are wanting to use this group as an 'highlight' ?

My old dad was born down Miry lane in 1923. He said they used to blare out music by Enrico Caruso in his day, down there in Miry Lane. Now that music is real class.

great band and had couple of gret really catchy songs out i love 'em and i am 65, poptastic.
