The Wire Untangled episodes

  • How can semi-final hangover be avoided, and is Croft on his way?

    Matt, Mike and Gareth are back for the latest episode of "The Wire Untangled" - the Warrington Guardian's dedicated Warrington Wolves podcast.

    The chaps discuss the fall-out from Warrington's defeat to Hull KR in the Challenge Cup semi-finals, including whether or not what happened in Doncaster may end up benefiting them in the long run.

    With only Super League to focus upon now, we also ponder whether or not head coach Sam Burgess will stick with his mooted plan to rotate his side in the coming weeks, starting with Saturday's trip to Toulouse Olympique.

    And as Wire's search for a half-back to replace the departing George Williams continues, we discuss the links with Leeds Rhinos' Brodie Croft and whether or not he would be a good fit at The Halliwell Jones Stadium

  • Semi-final memories, and is it time to bin the video ref?

    Matt, Mike and Gareth are back for another episode of "The Wire Untangled" - our dedicated Warrington Wolves podcast.

    In the aftermath of The Wire's win over Huddersfield Giants which featured a 57-minute second half, we ask whether or not it is time to drastically alter - or even remove - the video referee process from rugby league.

    The chaps also pick out those who stood out in the 34-4 victory before attention turns to Sunday's seismic Challenge Cup semi-final against Hull KR.

    We discuss where the game may be won and lost before finishing with our favourite Challenge Cup semi-final memories.

  • The 'arrival' of James Bentley and the debut of 'Turner's Top 10s'

    Matt, Mike and Gareth are back to review another excellent result for Warrington Wolves after Wigan Warriors were beaten at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.

    The chaps discuss James Bentley's impressive individual performance and ponder whether or not this will be the catalyst for his Wire career truly taking off, while there is also high praise for Ewan Irwin after he ably filled the shoes of the injured George Williams.

    Attention then turns to Saturday's trip to Huddersfield Giants and with a Challenge Cup semi-final on the horizon, we ask whether or not Sam Burgess may be tempted into some rotation.

    And to finish off, Matt tests out Mike and Gareth's Super League knowledge in the debut of our quiz segment "Turner's Top 10s"

  • Do Wire need an energy boost for Wigan's visit?

    Matt, Mike and Gareth are back to bring you another episode of "The Wire Untangled" - the Warrington Guardian's dedicated Warrington Wolves podcast.

    We pick the bones of Warrington's bruising defeat in Perpignan last time out, with the 38-22 loss to Catalans Dragons looking like costing them a bit more than just two points.

    To that end, changes appear likely for Wigan Warriors' visit to The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Friday - but could there be tactical switches as well as enforced ones in order to boost the chances of a first home win over the neighbours in nearly five years?

  • Sneyd shows his worth and a trip down memory lane

    The Wire Untangled is back! Matt Turner, Mike Parsons and Gareth Dunning regroup to discuss Warrington Wolves' Challenge Cup quarter-final victory and highlight the players and moments key to making it happen.

    We also discuss the semi-final draw, which has thrown up a rematch of last year's final to give The Wire the chance of revenge on Hull KR following the painful Wembley defeat.

    Finally, attention turns to this weekend's trip to Catalans Dragons as the chaps recall their favourite memories from jaunts to Perpignan including diverted flights, broken glasses and being surrounded by thousands of Wire fans.
