NRL boss Peter V’landys has taken another pot shot at the AFL while revealing he is close to announcing grand final entertainment acts.
V’landys is yet to secure an artist to headline this year’s big day, which will be on October 4 in Sydney.
His arch rival the AFL, however, locked in Aussie pop icon Kylie Mingoue in March to light up the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
V’landys spoke to Nine’s Today on Monday morning shortly after a segment aired spruiking the looming Minogue show on AFL grand final day.
“We are the most watched sport in Australia, we don’t need international pop stars to come in,” he said.
“Our entertainment is our game.
“We’re still the most watched sport in Australia, we’ve got the top three most watched programs in Australia in State of Origin, and this finals series is going to break more records.
