I suppose it depends what you want Meds. I think the content is good, particularly that I can watch non sky away matches that I otherwise wouldn't get to see. Because of work I don't get to away matches in the way I once did. That alone is worth the price of subscription. In addition you get pre season games, reserve and women's fixtures and interviews and match reaction. The coming fans forum is being streamed too so anyone not able to get to that will still be able to see it. I guarantee many on here will be asking what was said.
If you don't have sky, can't get to away games, want to watch matches again if you watch live or are generally interested in the club whatsoever, 80p (ish) a week represents great value in my opinion.
Or you could always buy a packet of crisps or a third of a pint or something instead
I don't really watch interviews and non game stuff due to having a low attention span, I get bored rea
Did you get bored half way through writing that mate?
Me mind did wander a bit, need to stop watching telly while on forums

Fridays game was available on Saturday

This is the policy - it might not be accurate!
https://tv.wiganwarriors.com/whats-on
MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights of every Warriors game home and away and regardless of coverage by Sky or the BBC will be released as follows in line with the broadcast contract requirements:
Up to 2 minutes action will be available 2 hours after the final whistle
Up to 15 minutes action will be available 24 hours after the final whistle
Full matches are available from midnight on Sunday following each game.
Never made much sense to me - what if we play on Monday do we wait a whole week for the full match?

Well, in 'answering my own question' mode, I can tell you that Friday's game in full became available around midnight on Sunday night. I think this is normal. But I was determined to watch it before bed, fired up the laptop. Then early in the second half, my wi-fi died, so I ended up watching the rest on my phone.

As I understand it Mike, those times are for a Friday night game, and the time differences are relative, not absolute. And the rather over 48 hour delay between the live game and when Wigan TV can show it is laid down in the agreement with Sky.

Thanks Moto, does that also apply to non-Sky games as well?
Surely it would be easier to show the full game first as it would take time to edit the highlights packages?
I can understand Sky putting a bar on the full game until their subscribers have had a chance to see it.
I'm really looking forwards to the Reseves/Academy games on Wigan TV this season.

Or people could actually go to the game, what a novel idea.
