The NRL confirmed negotiations with Tones and I had fallen through and said it would go ahead without a headline act for the first time since the league's inception in 1998. Instead, ~$1 million will be redirected to grassroots rugby league.
“I'd prefer to see 20,000 underprivileged kids who can't afford to play rugby league play rugby league, rather than spend a million dollars on 11 minutes of a musical performance.”
