The NRL's mystery Grand Final pre-game act has been uncovered, with an emotional tribute to Jai Arrow expected to take place just before kick-off between the Roosters and Knights.
The Australian has revealed a group of Australian musicians will do a cover of Gerry and the Pacemakers' classic song You'll Never Walk Alone.
At this stage, it is unknown who the Aussie musicians are, but it will have all 80,000 people in Accor Stadium captivated by the performance.
Arrow was forced into immediate medical retirement this year following a diagnosis of motor neurone disease at age 30.
Since then, the entire sporting and wider community has gotten behind Jai in his ongoing fight.
The NRL has put on incredible initiatives throughout the year to raise money for Arrow and research towards MND.
It included Stand with Jai, the birthday party celebration for Arrow during the Knights and Rabbitohs clash in July as a chance to show support towards Arrow.
Along with that came Jai July, where essentially every single NRL try during the month of July was celebrated with an arrow emote.
It comes after Tones and I and the NRL had a falling out, which led to the NRL being without a music artist for the big dance.
But the head honchos have worked together to organise an emotional tribute for Arrow as he is going through his tough medical battle.
NRL executive chairman Peter V'landys hinted at a "surprise" to come before the NRL Grand Final kick-off.
“Watch 11 minutes before kick-off, and there's going to be a big surprise... and you'll be entertained," V'landys said on Nine earlier in the week.
“I've got to tell you, it'll be the highest-rated 11 minutes you will ever see because no one knows what it is, and we won't tell until the night.
“And a lot of people will be surprised.
“There will be something, but I am not saying what it is. Stay tuned.”
The NRL and South Sydney came together to produce one of the most special moments in rugby league when Arrow was given a special exemption to be named as a starting player in two Rabbitohs games this year so he could notch up 100 NRL games in the red and green.
The 'Arrow' try celebration spread throughout the sporting community and appeared in international rugby, surfing, and AFL.
