The AFL continues to win the entertainment battle, with such great supporters as Robbie Williams and Delta Goodrem most recently.
Fans have criticized the NRL for their continued poor decision-making in the entertainment department.
Rocker Jimmy Barnes played the NRL Grand Final in October with fans booing at his performance.
However, not all fans were frustrated with some die-hard fans praising the rockers
He ripped through his charts Working Class Man, No Second Prize, Lay Down Your Guns and Good Times.
On the last track, which he originally performed with INXS, he was joined by his daughter Mahalia Barnes.
However, a later choice of rappers Bliss n Eso was later slammed on social media.
“Bliss n Eso really made me sick,” one person complained on Twitter.
“Who is Bliss n Esso?” someone else asked.
