Music promoter Michael Gudinksi has confirmed the NRL is NOT getting Pearl Jam for the 2017 Grand Final half-time entertainment, although it’s been previously rumoured.

“They certainly haven’t got Pearl Jam,” said Gudinski, on Triple M.

He slammed the NRL as being miles behind the rival code when it comes to half time entertainment.

"The AFL has left the NRL for dead,” he said.

“How the NRL can compare the AFL entertainment to theirs is a joke. "

The Killers will be playing the 2017 AFL Grand Final hot off the back of the release of their new single "The Man".
