Jai Arrow says he has been told "nothing" about a tribute awaiting him ahead of Sunday's NRL grand final.
It was widely reported today that Arrow would do a lap of Stadium Australia while a selection of Australian musicians perform Gerry and the Pacemakers' song and Liverpool FC anthem You'll Never Walk Alone.
Earlier this year, Arrow retired from the NRL after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND).
Speaking to the ABC at this evening's Dally M Awards in Sydney, Arrow said he was unsure of the details of the ceremony.

Back-to-back man-of-the-match performances from Nathan Cleary in rounds 21 and 22 put him back on top of the NRL Dally M leaderboard on 56 points after round 23, ahead of Braydon Trindall (53) and Dylan Edwards (46). Can Sharks playmaker Trindall cause a boilover with a late charge?
Meanwhile, the NRLW Team of the Year is now being announced. Here it is:
James Fisher-Harris (Warriors), Nathan Cleary (Panthers) and Kalyn Ponga (Knights) are nominated for the NRL captain of the year award, and Fisher-Harris takes out the prize.
That’s a captain-coach double for the Warriors, who surpassed expectations this season to finish second on the ladder – even if their year ended in disappointment with a straight sets finals exit.
