Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Credit where it’s due to the RFL for streaming last nights Championship fixture via the OurLeague app. With Sky reluctant to show Championship Rugby League with the exception of Toronto, streaming games is a great idea. How was this possible as I thought Sky held the rights to show the Championship? Was this a one off or can we expect a games to be shown on OurLeague regularly?

Maybe the RFL have negotiated permission since last season, or maybe that was always an option in the contract, but the shooting and streaming infrastucture was still being tested out last year with occasional C1 games. If last night's anything to go by, a lot of bugs appear to have been ironed out. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Cumbrian Fanatic Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Enjoyed the game last night and the Newcastle v Doncaster game today, as you say credit where its due. I think George Riley and Andrew (it was Andrew wasn't it?) Henderson are pretty good on it and I'm looking forward to more games during the season 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluded pom? Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I thought the RFL were showing a game a week on OL with a mix of Championship and League 1 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was very impressed with the presentation and the quality of the stream. "I'm from a fishing family. Trawlermen are like pirates with biscuits." - Lucy Beaumont.

Futtocks Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Two matches in two days, and the stream didn't falter once - for me at least. Riley and Henderson add an experienced touch to the commentary, and there are some extra touches like PIP replays that weren't there last year..

Cumbrian Fanatic Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Does anyone know if you can put the Ourleague app on to a smart TV? last night and today I watched the games on a tablet and in the past I've connected the laptop to the television via an HDMI lead but if there are going to be regular games it would be great if I could just click on a pre-set page 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleD Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Is there a reason why the games can’t be watched on playback on the website? I had to go out today just when Donny scored their 3rd try on 55 minutes and would’ve loved to have watched the rest when I came back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Nash Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 If you've got a console such as PS4 or Xbox you can stream it direct through TV via the browser. Had the great pleasure of watching the Dons on the big screen without a single stutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only ever used the mobile app (including yesterday while at the Bolton v Norwich game!) so I was asking for myself as well to be fair.
