I will be able to see him on viaplay tv on Monday night.
I have supported Wigan RL since the late 80s. First game was a cup tie v Barrow. Also a fan of football and Speedway. Have a varied taste in music.

I will. Don't forget 're our other players that go on loan/dual. You can often see how they do free on YouTube. Definitely highlights. Even better, Off the top of my head, Bradford, Swinton, Halifax, Sheffield, Dewsbury and London Skolars show a full 80 minutes rerun.
Also, Maybe this won't interest you as much, but a lot of different Rugby League commentaries are available online. Monday's included.
Sorry if you know all that. Just making sure. You are obviously are a keen follower !.

There is no way I’m paying £100+ for Sky & having to pay another tenner for viaplay! 😠
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Forber joins Widnes on loan

Tom Forber will join Widnes Vikings on an initial one-month loan deal.

The hooker will be available for selection this weekend.

Forber has recently played for Oldham Roughyeds in League One.

Wigan Warriors can confirm that Tom Forber has joined Widnes Vikings on a one-month loan deal.

Hooker Forber, who has recently spent time with Oldham Roughyeds in League One, will be available for Widnes’ Championship match against Bradford Bulls on Monday night.

Forber, who made his First Team debut against Hull KR in 2022, has also had spells on loan with Wakefield Trinity in Super League, as well as Newcastle Thunder and Whitehaven in the Championship.

Warriors Transition Coach John Duffy said: “Tom is really excited to join the Vikings and get some quality games in.

“He has areas of his game he needs to be consistent in and being around some quality experienced players will help him to achieve this.”

Widnes Vikings Head of Operations Chris Hamilton commented: “With the departure of Jordan Johnstone, we needed to make sure we had another hooker in and agreed a couple of days ago with Wigan for Tom to be that person.

“He has real quality and will bring a determined and committed attitude with him. I am sure our fans will like what they see from him.”

Don't know how to post links. I am old !
YouTube. Then type in team name. For radio commentary, Type in bbc rugby league commentaries. List comes on.
Bradford Bulls ones are on, West Yorkshire radio. Rugby League.

I'm Also old :) but you are spot on, "stuff" on YouTube is usually just an individual link under www.youtube.com that you find by searching for what you want - as you wrote :)

Some teams do have specific channels

example - https://www.youtube.com/@leighleopards/videos

but most RL clubs post as one offs, so just copy that into the post

example - Leeds Reserves v Hudds Reserves https:/ ... 28WjZcgdcY
