England v Samoa 2024 series

[Bobby DIGital]

Because they aren't very good. Letting a peaheart like Radley play says all you need to know. A man who simply gave up on Australia at such a young age is embarrassing

He plays like an English forward anyway.

I guess my question is, not very good compared to what?

They always have tight matches against the Kiwis, they lost by a bees dick to a pretty good Samoan side stacked with big match experience at the world cup and the last outing against the Kangaroos was a 6-0 loss

 

[Perth Red]

Outside forwards of Nsemba, Minchella and Radley is a pretty exciting prospect for England. If anywhere prop is looking pretty weak at moment which is unusual for an English team.

Half backs he'll probably go Williams and Smith with Lewis on bench as utility. Shame as I'd like to see Lewis and Smith get more time together prior to the tour and world cup.

I've got the Superleague plus app to watch this. Seems like the way to go. Still not sure about Kayo

Doesn’t seem to be in the line-up of either the SuperLeague+ app or the BBC iPlayer app as of yet.

Kayo shows the BBC’s coverage of the challenge cup finals and last years Tonga tour. It’s normally added really late to Kayo.

I hope it’s the same case with the Samoan tour.

Pretty much all seats at Leeds have been bought now (last count I had, I could find 18 scattered around the ground). Hopefully the terraces are also selling strongly.

Wigan's The Brick Community Stadium, looks like it still has some rows held back on the west side and was just selling into every second row. If I was to estimate, I'd say we're looking at around 18K so far for the opening Test.

Good numbers for tests against natio like Samoa and Tonga etc especially when you factor in all the Samoan withdrawals.

Can’t believe he’s picked hill and Bateman. Deary me.

That’s a good increase on last years tests.
I reckon they went with two tests to encourage more sales at fewer games.

last year
test 1 st Helens 12,900
test 2 Huddersfield 11,200
test 3 Leeds 15,500

total 39,600

Trying to level things up.

I was unfortunately way off for Wigan. There is clearly a lot more rows being held back.

When Wigan are doing well English rugby league does well

Why wouldn't Fox League show it.

 

[Coastbloke]

Why wouldn't Fox League show it.

Maybe because they put some coin in for the Pacific Championships and Fox League like the rest of the platform is dying a slow death..

I’m Gen X so I still use TVs and cables and terrestrial stuff..

 

[Clarkent]

Geez how long before they announce the line up for this game??

 

[MRN]

Why wouldn't Fox League show it.

It is. Fox League logo is on the page on Kayo.

Foxtel own Kayo, all Kayo does is stream Foxtel product so if it’s on Kayo it’s on Fox League.
As for Fox League dying, not sure about that?

As the NRL Telstra Finals Series gets underway, the Foxtel Group has confirmed that the 2024 season has become its most watched on record, marking a seventh consecutive year of audience growth across its platforms. The season saw unprecedented viewership across Foxtel, Foxtel Now, Foxtel Go, and Kayo Sports, solidifying its status as the highest-rated NRL season in the broadcaster’s history.

Good to hear the game is sold out in England hopefully it's a good game. England should be the favourites I just hope Samoa doesn't lose by much
