Leeds Wire 667 Report post Posted October 17, 2019 Anyway, sorry. Just had a Leeds Rhinos conniption. I'm going on Sunday and taking 2 kids. It's good to support international RL and especially Jamaica. Anyone know if Dessie Drummond is still involved? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lowdesert 2,538 Report post Posted October 18, 2019 13 hours ago, Futtocks said: Hmm, I mainly stream these matches via Twitch, because the OurLeague stream is still glitchy and buffers a lot for me. Do I pay the fee and quite possibly spend most of the match reloading and buffering, or do I give it a swerve this time and wait 'til the OurLeague service is more useable? Can we view this game through Twitch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lowdesert 2,538 Report post Posted October 18, 2019 13 hours ago, gingerjon said: I'm not paying for OurLeague. The service doesn't justify it. I share the sentiment to some extent, but not for 2.50 and it is an international match. The other option, of course, is go to the game, but even then, drinks and food prices are hiked. A pint and a pie in the ground will be more than 2.50 above Weatherspoons prices. OL has improved but it still has some way to go to justify regular charging and I think it’ll get superseded by other means in time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RigbyLuger 81 Report post Posted October 18, 2019 If you're paying, the quality has to be good. I wouldn't want to pay and get some of the commentary teams they've had on there before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it could be 1p and I still wouldn't. Not because the football isn't worth it (£2.50 or more, although I don't think it's a good idea to charge) but because I've yet to have a good experience watching anything via OurLeague.

I wouldn't want to pay and get some of the commentary teams they've had on there before. This board is riddled with criticism of commentators, so it’s going to be difficult. The quality isn’t great, I agree, and I share Jons sentiment but if it doesn’t get support it’ll never develop. The RFL haven’t the money. I would love to see a similar arrangement that the NRL have and that is good quality. A few years ago we had Sky and BBC, now this is supplemented by other, minor broadcasts. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you aren't going to buy the video stream, there is radio commentary on the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live-guide/rugby-league Make sure the Beeb know how much you appreciate it, by the way, because I don't think they've covered a Knights match before. 1 Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Curly perm 35 Report post Posted October 18, 2019 I’m going to this. Cheap and a good day out for the kids. If my 4yr old is gonna trash anywhere, it might as well be Headingley. I think it’ll be a bit more competitive than others have said. Knights should win but there’s a bit of experience in the Jamaica squad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worth considering that, if the RFL are charging for this match, anyone offering it free is probably dodgy. Caveat emptor. Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

JonM 2,292 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Anyone actually been able to pay their £2.49? I've spent quite a while looking for a way to pay, just can't see any option to do so. Maybe I have to wait for the Academy game to finish? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southerner80 880 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 It's a real shame this isn't on BBC or C4. The game needs FTA to get Kids to watch it. I won't pay for the live stream as my experience with the App has been poor before and I do not expect it to be better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still to find and no contact number to query. Its a mixed up mish mash that you wouldn’t put your name to but despite the delayed commentary, todays game was ok to watch. I normally watch them in silence anyway, so no big deal. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EagleEyePie 217 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 I was having trouble finding the payment screen. Every time I went on my account section and clicked the England v Jamaica tab it kept going straight to a video player. It was doing that for about 20 minutes but having tried it again 5 minutes ago it brought up a payment screen instead and I've managed to buy it. Anyone who was having trouble should probably try again now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JonM 2,292 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Yes, I can get to the buy now page (which I couldn't earlier) and clicking it takes me to a page which I think says something about streaming and payments, which then disappears. More progress than earlier, but still no way to actually pay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
