    It seems like they are trying to manufacture something that isn’t really there ,

    I’m a league fan but some of there countries , is it even played there ? Be interesting to see how many people in Lebanon will be tuning in ? 😀

    Just like always. Teams like Lebanon Ireland Italy etc are just NRL players who can't make the Kangaroos

    I think so too. SOO is awesome and any NZ/GB/Oz game is always a good watch, but RL has never really kicked on like RU for me.

    Will enjoy the RLWC though.

    @kiwiinmelb was a piece on the news last night about Jordan Meads, a Kiwi guy who is playing for Greece, for a period, many of the games played illegal over there!!

    Samoa: My god that was a poor effort. The commentators started off ok, aside from the fact they clearly make no effort to pronounce names correctly, but they went a bit fan boi home town rabid once England started racking up the points. It reminded me of one of those old Kiwis games when they rode in on some hype against the Kangaroos and then got thumped. I think that due to the stupid (rigged) draw that Samoa will still go through to the finals matches.

    Kayo: Such a shit streamer compared with Stan. I watched the Eng v Sam match then wanted to watch some quick highlights of Oz v Fiji but could only find the 20 minute "mini". Then most of that footage was replays of the tries. Also, no team's lists at the start. @Daffy-Jaffy I guess I'll just go to YT from now on. Stan does it much better with Minis/Highlights in the same tab. Plus the usual multiple times dropping down to 720p.

    Numbers: Fuck off with your stupid Super League numbering system.

    What’s the picture quality like with Kayo ?

    I’ve got Foxtel but alternate between 2 houses , Foxtel box in my main house , perfect , but in my country house I stream Foxtel and the picture quality to the tv is garbage . Stan much much better . So is dazn ( boxing app)

    I thought maybe kayo being more of a specialist streaming app it would be better to run that and ditch Foxtel .

    What a shambles! The Rugby League World Cup organisers couldn't even get the basics of their opening ceremony right .

    Oct 15, 2022  /  Sport

    Oh my god, I can’t believe it – Kaiser Chiefs’ set cut short at World Cup opener

    Oh my god, I can’t believe it – Kaiser Chiefs’ set cut short at World Cup opener

    Ricky Wilson and his band were warming up the crowd in Newcastle when they hit a technical failure

    I'll be back for the Semi Finals.

    Their normal 1080 HD is generally fine, but they drop down to 720p too often for my liking - but might be particular to my area rather than a nationwide thing. Stan maintains 1080/4K better than Kayo.

    I think it's worth ditching for the financial savings (but not sure if a property magnate like you would have that concern 😉 ) if you don't mind the odd dropping down to 720p.

    Is this game taking place in a library? This must be one of the quietest sporting crowds since Covid.
