Think this just highlights of how amateurish our game is lead at the moment. Its not been communicated or advertised in any way shape or form that this is available on ourleague. I only found it on the site by accident and even then wasn't sure if it was actually on.

Games a mess.

That's why I mentioned it in the first place. I saw it on the site as a live game but could not buy a pass. Poor communication by the club.

Do you not think this could be a request by Newcastle to get more fans attending the game?. They seem to be pushing the game on social media but haven't mentioned the streaming.

Yeah I agree with you, i get why Newcastle wouldn't advertise the ourleague as they concentrate on tickets, but surely the RFL could advertise it to all the neutral fans who have no intention of going.

To be honest, I think the flaw in that is pretty clear. How, in the age of the internet do you advertise to neutral fans but not let Newcastle and Bradford fans in on the little secret? I mean, what are we doing, right now?

Is the game available to watch on Our League or has all that ended now?

The Bradford game will be available on the OuRLeague app, if you cannot join us in person we hope you can show your support there!

I would like to see Sanderson given a spot on the right wing now he is fit.

I mean in defence of Newcastle, why would they advertise free streaming when clearly paying punters in the ground would suit.

And in defence of Bradford what do they get out of a free stream? 0.

Maybe the RFL should be promoting it seen as though it’s their platform and it’s their decision not the clubs?

I got an email from the RFL today promoting the stream.
I get why Bulls and Newcastle didn't promote the game.
Bulls will get a percentage of ticket sales and Newcastle will sell more tickets.
