    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 .

    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.

    Nah bro , not how it looks , 2 pretty modest properties ,😀

    Cheers for that , I’ll give kayo a crack

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

    Finished 34-12. Based on this, I'd say Lebanon are going out in the Quarters and the Kiwis after the Semis.

    I’d rather that sort of game against half decent opposition than the training runs that England and OZ got where Samoa and Fiji were only good for the first 10-15 minutes.

    Yeah it's a month before they play Australia. Don't think you can read much into a warmup game.

    League world cup cracks me up. A team of Sydney players that can't crack the Oz side grab Cheika as a coach and represent Lebanon.

    Sounds like the Warriors since they debuted in the NRL.

    You haven't watched in a few years have you, it's just shitty league these days ...

    Well, that was an average performance to say the least. Might be a good match to help focus the team though.

    Edit: My Kayo Sucks Rant: Get up at a reasonable time to watch the game. Drag it to the little icon on bottom of the screen that says H1 so that I can get to the start and then rewind slightly to the haka. It goes straight to the first try. In all my time using Kayo I've never had one of those go to the actual place they say they're going. Then I try to rewind back. Nope, wont let me, it just jumps back to where I was once I take my finger of the rewind button. So in the end, I exit out, start from the beginning and fast forward through to the haka.
