As excitement builds for the upcoming NRL Grand Final this Sunday, rumours have been circulating about a certain Sydney drill group joining in on the entertainment.
The Kid LAROI, who was announced as the Grand Final’s headliner in September, has teased that OneFour may be joining him on stage for his pre-game set.

The rumours spouted after a podcast snippit went viral of LAROI speaking on The Jimmy & Nath Show. When asked by the podcasters if OneFour would be joining, the singer smirked and rubbed his head nervously.
“You’ve got a bad poker face.” Co-host Nath said, before LAROI attempted to explain himself.
“It’s hard to answer.”
“I think in general, we have a lot of cool things planned.” He said, trying to stay professional.
“I’m trying to make it as special as possible.”
A devoted Rabbitohs fan, LAROI expressed his enthusiasm for playing at rugby league’s prized event, stating it feels like a “pinch myself moment” to perform in front of passionate fans.
“As a young kid growing up in Sydney, I would drive past Rabbitohs training at Redfern Oval dreaming of playing Rugby League and making music and now I’m going to have this pinch myself moment of playing my music in front of a roaring crowd of Rugby League fans on Grand Final day. It really doesn’t get much better than that.”
While the Rabbitoh’s unfortunately have not made the Grand Final, Western Sydney’s Penrith Panthers have, going head-to-head with Melbourne Storm.
The Penrith Panthers and OneFour are both supporters of each other, with the nrl athletes often repping the group in videos and behind the scenes.
“A lot of people are making noise from the area and it’s pretty cool.” Panthers player Jarome Luai has said of the group.
“It just goes to show, no matter where you come from, no matter how you grew up, if you’re willing to work hard (you can), make a name for yourself.”
The NRL Grand Final takes place this Sunday, 6th October, with pre-game entertainment starting at 6:30. Tune in via Channel 9 and 9Now.
