S6 Ep 129S6 Ep129: TWO THOUSAND JELLY CUBES

E

The podcast reverts to a Sunday recording which makes everyone feel a little bit uncomfortable. Dennis decides to piggy-back off more than a Sky sport's subscription, Sam returns from a slow weekend in Cardiff lifting a heavy load of shitistics, and Rob carries on muddling up his words. There's a quiz that could take a while to set and Daniel resiliently protests from Queensland. Plus, as Burgess contemplates Kingy's World - the Wire team take to the Gladiator's travelator. Enjoy.

S6 Ep 128S6 Ep128: HOT WATER BOTTLE

E

The podcast takes an in-depth look into bursts, contacts and spillages. As we let off some steam towards the anatomy, and ask why are the shitistics significantly lopsided towards the winter months? So climb onboard, head to the top deck, and admire not one, but two, sightseeing tours of London.

S6 Ep 127S6 Ep127: THE BURGESS EFFECT

E

The Burgess effect is in full flow but is Jenna Brooks' interview technique affecting his coaching? The effect of Sam's new shitistic affects the podcast more than any other stat in the past two years. Dennis looks at whether the effects of aerodynamics on a haggis affects its throwing distance, and the effect of gravity on Rob's nipple is affecting his personal wellbeing. Plus, there's Daniel's JKL, a darts evening over at Hi De Hi, and just how much does a physically active Ewok weigh? Enjoy. The effect of rising hosting costs is affecting the podcast's back pocket.

S6 Ep 126S6 Ep126: THE MASS OF PAUL VAUGHAN IN PICKLED ONIONS

E

Sam Burgess takes-off with his first win but our Sam touches-down with jet lag, resulting in a limited supply of shitistics. Dennis writes, wrote or has written to the RFL, as Rob makes an absolute pickle of the halftime quiz. Daniel is back with his tenuous alphabet and the sitcom takes on an Australian twang.

S6 Ep 125S6 Ep125: ALL WELL THAT ENDS WELL

E

Dennis continues to look for an alternative sport and comes under pressure from a quick fire quiz. With Sam making his way back from Melbourne, it’s left for Rob to spill the beans on Sankey’s irritable bowel following his surf lesson. The’s more Hi de hi, Daniel covers off an obscure D E and F at the Halliwell Jones and Roger Moore turns out to make the perfect fullback. Plus, with 673 players up in front of the match review panel, will any of them be actually left for round two?

S6 Ep 124S6 Ep124: MAKE HAYES WHILE THE SUN SHINES

E

The podcast returns, and with Sam Burgess now behind the wheel of the Wire, can he steer them to victory before losing his licence? Sam packs his bags for Sydney, Rob shaves his bullocks and Dennis spends too much time measuring armpits. There's an A to Z of the Halliwell Jones, yet another 80's sitcom, predictions and a red or blue clusterfuck of a quiz.

S5 Ep 123S5 Ep123: A POWER STATION AND A FIDDLER'S PHONE-IN

E

The podcast attempts another phone-in but will the 'What would Brian Bevan say' firewall leak more than Warrington's left-edge defence? Sam has family bin issues, Dennis measures the altitude of Daresbury and Rob's concerned about the thermostat on Alan London's boiler. Plus there's a quiz. Cue the applause. Enjoy.

S5 Ep 122S5 Ep122: SAM BURGESS' EST EST EST HOME DELIVERY

E

What does the future hold for Sam Burgess, where will Wire finish the season, and is Mrs Sankey having an affair with a US Marine? With Dennis’ social calendar more congested than the Warrington vs Catalans fixture list, it’s left to Rob and Sam to cast their eye over the 2024 squad. Plus, is Jim Bergerac the answer to magic weekend, and has an impromptu call from Alan London solved the Wolves’ scrum half problem? Enjoy.

S5 Ep 121S5 Ep121: JANETTE KRANKIE

E

It's time for the autopsy with the podcast and its listeners (or is that listener) endeavouring to dissect another clusterfuck of a season. Sam enrols to become a Super League referee, Dennis sets to working on a title for his new 2024 section and Rob rallies with a south of the river broken arm. Enjoy, we'll see you all in February.

S5 Ep 120S5 Ep120: GOODBYE FOREVER

E

Wire make the elimination play-off but Dennis seems more worried about claiming travel expenses. Rob reminisces about his uncle who he believes is a clear replacement for Bill Arthur. Sam offers up his biggest ever caveat. Plus, the WhatBevan player of the year focusses on just ten nominations, Daniel names his season’s XII and the sitcom perfectly summarises the season.

S5 Ep 119S5 Ep119: SHIT OR SHITTERER

E

Is the season about to draw to a close for Wire, or will a brief reprieve only delay the inevitable? With Dennis struggling with his French Connection, it's left to London & Sankey to lead a more in-depth analysis of Warrington's failings. Plus, Rob gives a blatant view of recent centre signings, and with a revamped Tacklebags section, the future of the podcast is Sam's Top Trumps (but only shitterer). Enjoy. We actually did for a change.

S5 Ep 118S5 Ep118: CAN YOU NAME A FAMOUS TABLE TENNIS PLAYER?

E

It's been 77 days between wins but finally the podcast has a narrative of optimism, as the recording comes from three different timezones. Will Dennis get stuck into a late night Black Forest gateau? Which star player is Mr Sankey not happy with? And will the Bellcharm Motor Company TNT Chinese restaurant electricity scam come to light? Plus, there's Daniel's Match of the Club, a UFO sighting and Gary takes his players to the Chambers. Enjoy.

S5 Ep 117S5 Ep117: LET'S DRAW A WHITE LINE UNDER HINDSIGHT

E

What a week it’s been at Warrington as the podcast endeavours to tackle the missing piece of a clusterfuck of a jigsaw. Dennis holds court in a wig not fit for Chambers, Sam requests a name change and doesn’t hold back - although is his transmission lost in translation? And Rob questions our interim coach’s due diligence based on a 1993 sale at Renault Manchester. Daniel offers up his recruitment strategy, there’s a game review no one gives a shit about, caveats aplenty and endless time frame continuums. Plus, the new sitcom invites Clare Balding away on a camping weekend, but will her support hold out?

S5 Ep 116S5 Ep116: EXCLUSIVE!! JUSTIN HOLBRICK INTERVIEW AND A PODCAST HACKING

E

Justin Holbrick joins the podcast but unfortunately due to a WhatBevan firewall security breach, there’s more cock and bollocks than you could shake a stick at. Sam suffers interference of another kind from an Ironbridge, Dennis is clearly still in crisis and Rob’s production skills are just as disorganised as Warrington’s right-edge defence. Enjoy.

S5 Ep 115S5 Ep115: DO NEUTRINOS, GRAVITATIONAL WAVES AND WIRE'S RIGHT EDGE DEFENCE REALLY EXIST?

E

As Warrington carry on their descent down the Super League table, the podcast questions other free falling objects. Dennis bemoans the pricing at Wigan, but can he really complain when he’s grocery shopping at Booths in Knutsford. Sam impersonates all his emotions as Mrs Sankey continues her Jetset lifestyle over in Milan. And Rob falls asleep after only 14 minutes of video analysis on Wire’s new signing Lachlan Fitzgibbon. Plus, the Sky is the limit for Daniel, there’s a message from Daryl, and the Sitcom ventures into Tomorrow’s World.

S5 Ep 114S5 Ep114: DARYL AND THE GREAT GLASS DESCENDING BOX

E

As Daryl locks himself away in his great glass box and Warrington descend in the Super League table, can the podcast find an ounce of positivity? Rob, recently back from Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s tropical Love Island, struggles to find a right-clawed cockatoo or depressingly engage with a male green turtle. Dennis plunges head-first into a think-tank of STDs, and Sam contemplates opening up a nostalgic guided tour of the former Wire players’ Bungalow. Also, Daniel looks at the psychology behind recent derby clusterfucks, and shitistics is back - perfectly summing up the Wolves’ season so far. Plus, there’s a naturist evening down at the Health Retreat. So sit back, strip off and enjoy.Become a patron - www.patreon.com/whatbevan Buy Dennis a coffee - www.youtube.com/@tacklebags/videos

S5 Ep 113S5 Ep113: GLORY HOLE

E

As Warrington exit the Challenge Cup at the hands of just twelve pie-eating bastards, the podcast returns to take stock of Wire’s league table oxymoron precipice. Sam is desperately in need of a drink, with his ranting leaving Rob speechless - literally, and stumped to reminisce about his indoor cricket. Dennis’ TackleBags rebadges to Dennis’ AirBags, and Daniel grixes-up the interchange bench. Plus, the Health Retreat takes to a stereotypical Orient.

S5 Ep 112S5 Ep112: £600 PER METRE

E

With Wire’s form continuing to slide the podcast takes a look at the team with a ‘yes or no’ section that will leave the listeners on the edge of their seats. Rob has a wake up call more than once, Sam gives a speech to rival the colossus of Rhodes, and just like that, Bingo! Dennis is back. There’s breaking live news.

S5 Ep 110S5 Ep110: THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF SHIT HELENS

E

With Wire suffering two losses back-to-back, what follows is a two-hour marathon of insufferable podcasting. Rob fills us in on the veterinary science behind holidaying with Germans, Sam has watched the games back sober and can confirm they’re just as shit, and Dennis is accused of taking pictures of St Helens’ stewards under the watchful eye of Big Brother. There’s Daniel with his combined XIII and a marquee membership on offer over at the Health Retreat. Plus, we say goodbye to the Bungalow with a ground floor quiz to end all quizzes.

S5 Ep 109S5 Ep109: CINQ SEMAINES POUR TRAVAILLER SES JAMBES GRELES

E

With both Sam and Rob under the weather it's left to Dennis to prop-up the podcast, but are there any props left? We discover how Warrington exaggerates Josh McGuire's metres, what an NRL bunker's video referee's fit girlfriend looks like, and how moving Gil Dudson into the bungalow to work on his legs is a good idea. We camper van there and back to France, in what seems like excruciatingly real time. Plus, there's a commune crucifixion, and can you resurrect a tax deduction to offset the capital gains behind a pair of Tanya Arnold’s sexy silk stockings?

Apr 11, 20231h 41m

S5 Ep 108S5 Ep108: FIRST INTERVIEW WITH WARRINGTON'S SHOCK SIGNING

E

With a touch of amnesia the podcasters discuss the cursed bungalow and run a clickbait social experiment aimed at the free downloading scum. Dennis plans his 17 hour motor homing trip to Catalans, Sam’s dog barking is an ominous sign, and Rob puts his seven year old to work as a 1970’s cement mixer. There’s six of the best, a reduced sitcom, an overstretched vlog, plus a quiz to KickStart the podcast.

S5 Ep 107S5 Ep107: SUPER LEAGUE DENIES THE EXISTENCE OF PAUL VAUGHAN

E

Wire make it four from four but Rob continues to push his product placement, Sam refuses to give away his HJ parking spot, and Dennis has been cryogenically frozen away at Hull KR. There’s an NFT conference at the Health Retreat, a superbly recorded Daniel section, vlogging in Cornwall, a mathematical formula to end all mathematical formulas, and is Paul Vaughan an A N Other in disguise? Yes, it’s almost sickening when it comes to this week’s podcasters’ positivity. Enjoy.patreon.com/whatbevanhttps://youtube.com/@tacklebags?si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE

Mar 15, 20231h 47m

S5 Ep 106S5 Ep106: THE GAME'S IN THE PUBIC EYE

E

It’s two wins from two, but more importantly, how many swallows make a summer and does anyone own the pigeon hanging out at the back of Greggs? There’s shitistical 1.75 discrepancy, bungalow surveillance, a Daryl sighting, vlogging, the sitcom, too much product placement, and an unlimited supply of optimism.

S4 Ep 104S4 Ep104: ANNUS HORRIBILIS

E

With Sam on-the-edge following a ridiculous Super League disciplinary appeal and a half marathon pencilled in for Sunday, can he endure a two hour review of Warrington’s year? Dennis safely back under a tiled roof and not sheltering beneath his campervan tarpaulin, reintroduces tackle books – but will we all need to hold our breath? Rob takes a break from veganism to commemorate the Queen’s passing and embarks on ‘’mission impossible”, in a vain attempt to come up with Wire’s player of the season. Daniel endeavours to stay positive. And Beers sirens-off with the saying ‘where there’s smoke there’s fire’. Enjoy. patreon.com/whatbevan

Sep 26, 20222h 7m

S4 Ep 103S4 Ep103: HOPELESSLY DEVOTED

E

With an antenna stuck up his arse in the Highlands of Scotland, Dennis endeavours to put a positive weak Wi-Fi spin on Daryl's plans. Sam returns from Wales with a spreadsheet formulating why Warrington are so shit. And Rob, after 146 years, can't take anymore. There's a melittology quiz researched from the trust of Wikipedia. Plus there's a wine tasting evening over at Beers. (Don't worry, the season's nearly over) Enjoy.

S4 Ep 102S4 Ep102: THANK FUCK FOR DUFTY

E

Did Dufty single-handedly save Wire from relegation? Has Sam put his Ben Currie picture back up? Will Oliver Holmes take Dennis’ camper van advice and purchase an Outwell 324 with guide rope extension? Could Rob have mistakenly discovered beastiality whilst lying on the settee? And has Daniel’s questioning of Karl Fitzpatrick, given us all the answers? Plus, you can’t beat a bit of bully down at Beers, and WhatBevan launch a new t-shirt at a remarkably competitive price.

S4 Ep 101S4 Ep101: A HAIR TRANSPLANTED DWARF

E

With two more losses and Warrington on the verge of relegation, Dennis endeavours to remain positive. But with Sam having just returned from Chicken Fest, will Dennis' positivity fall fowl to Rob's baiting of Ben Currie? Beers goes on Location, Location, Location, Location, Location in the search for a bungalow big enough to accommodate 48 props, and Daniel has a CASastrophic soundbite. Enjoy.

S4 Ep 100S4 Ep100: SKY SPORTS IS SHIT..... Oh and it's our 100th episode

E

It’s been a month since the last podcast, so has Daryl Powell been able to turn things around at Warrington or, has he now become their player-coach? Dennis overheats and finds himself on the cusp of a military firing range, Sam counts his savings thanks to his absence from the HJ, and Rob’s jet lagged and brandishing an extra 9lbs. Plus, there’s a new drive-thru at Beers, a chance to win a 9 carat gold-plated carriage clock (batteries not included), and just what are a Dutch couple about to get up to in the bushes? Enjoy.Please help support the podcast at patreon.com/whatbevan

S4 Ep 99S4 Ep99: KASIANO CASINO DOUG HOYALE

E

With the podcasters not privy to Wakefield Warrington footage, Daniel steps in, but beware - his soundbite comes with a government health warning. Live on air, Rob’s reprimanded by his father. Sam burns his favourite player poster, there’s the origin of bungalows, a Cliff Richard quiz, and Beers gambles the night away. And, Dennis records from the graveyard, as due to a lack of patrons, we bury the podcast. Enjoy.pattern.com/whatbevan

Jun 20, 20221h 18m

S4 Ep 98S4 Ep98: I'VE EATEN TOO MANY SWEETS

E

With Warrington reaching a 21st century low point, and within touching distance of their own Jubilee Championship, Rob finally blows his top. Dennis enjoys a Dorset nob in his quest to research what makes good head for his new book. Sam leaves the game early with a caveat, and is now only offering up shitistics in imperial measurements. There’s a Queen of Warrington quiz, first dates over at Beers bar, and the podcast hears from its number one fan - Josh Charnley. Enjoy.

Jun 5, 20221h 43m

S4 Ep 97S4 Ep97: STOP SIGNING FORWARDS WITH SMALL THIGHS

E

As Warrington make it to nearly halfway through their regular season, the podcast opens its patreon jubilee lounge. There’s live breaking news of the signing of a new prop, but do his poor stats negate the need for celebrations? Dennis takes to waving an aubergine aggressively, Sam’s more interested in Australian politics, and Rob sources a pub singer in an attempt to encourage the younger listener. And, Beers takes to the air - thankfully, not through Plange Airways or Ryan Atkins. Enjoy

May 22, 20221h 39m

S4 Ep 96S4 Ep96: A BARBECUE AT BILLY MACGOULIAS' BUNGALOW

E

The podcast bites into Wire’s defeat to the pie eaters with a thin crust of knowledge and a limited shitistical filling. Dennis is handcuffed to a radiator but still manages to design a new player from an anatomical clusterfuck. Sam flares up, and we ask just how long is his hose pipe? Rob sends Daryl Powell a tortilla wrap before offering up rumours aplenty. Daniel looks to the future, and Beers goes in search of culinary stars. Plus, there’s the Toby / Tony quiz Challenge Cup filler. Enjoy.Please help support the podcast's future at www.patreon.com/whatbevan

S4 Ep 95S4 Ep95: THE ROAD TO OPTIMISM PIER

E

It’s been three games and three weeks since the last episode, but with Rob suffering from covid - though I doubt he’ll mention it - will he have the energy to look after the podcast or will it be overrun by Dennis’ Orwellian pigs? Sam blows the whistle on his best ever shitistic, ventures into pissed-up veganism, and has his knife out for a deluded Yorkshire pundit. There’s kippers for breakfast and a dead commentator over on Beers. And if the show isn’t butchered enough, there’s one last alternative to pull a rabbit out of a hat . Enjoy. We didn’t.

Apr 25, 20222h 8m

S4 Ep 94S4 Ep94: A TARDY COACH TRIP

With so many questions, is the podcast on the brink of having Daryl Powell on to provide all the answers? A gin-less Dennis insults all of Sydney before promoting Stockholm, in his search for happiness. Sam switches from ranting to lamenting and shows an impeccable knowledge of Oscar Hammerstein II musical scores. Mrs London laps up the moonlight whilst Rob pays an astronomical 10% service charge. There are very few statistics to rinse off, and Daniel washes the players right out of his hair. Plus, Beers holds a Legends' themed evening, all downed with e's and whizz. Enjoy.

S4 Ep 93S4 Ep93: CAN WE SIGN CHRIS HILL ON LOAN?

E

With Warrington making it three losses in a row, the podcast turns to guest host, agony aunt Claire Rayner, for the answer to waning relationships. Sam finds himself critiquing the sitcom along with the Wolves' website. Dennis' book review is Power Force, but his factorial equation comes up short by 973 points. Rob looks for wedding gifts through the WhatBevan patron following. Plus, there's a 1996 quiz, post-contact-players'-metres and Beers promotes NFT watered down accounting. Enjoy.

S4 Ep 92S4 Ep92: THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR'S SUPER LEAGUE DIET

E

It’s a fortnight of mixed emotions following Warrington’s French Connections - but just how long under Joe Philbin’s current metre averages would it take for him to reach the Eiffel Tower? Daniel has the answer. Sam reminisces about 1996 and his bad taste in music, Dennis takes us on a dietary plan fit for Lepidopteras, and Rob’s 72-year-old uncle Bob London provides an alternative commentary. Plus, there’s a Magnum PI quiz that leaves a podcaster’s revision in tatters. And, it’s all froth with no substance down at Beers Bar. Enjoy.PLEASE SUBSCRIBE - PATREON.COM/WHATBEVAN

S4 Ep 91S4 Ep91: BOLLOCKING.....errr ROLLOCKING

It's all smiles at the Halliwell Jones as Warrington make it two wins from two. And it's not only the fans in a happy mood - are the players enjoying Daryl's coaching too? Dennis decides it's time to decorate, but loaded-up on his latest supply of sponsored Tiger gin, adopts a mob mentality. With the pressure off Sam's shitistics he delivers more interesting figures than ever before. And Rob questions whether diesel dick may have been on show on the M62. Plus, there's Daniel with his opinion on Wire's new style of play, Alan London is well again, and there's a ludicrous prediction from a WhatBevan panel member. Plus, there's a Greek Night with a dodgy urine sample down at Beers bar. Enjoy. Please become a patron and receive the podcast early. www.patreon.com/whatbevan

S4 Ep 90S4 Ep90: PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE

E

It’s a fresh start at Warrington under new coach Daryl Powell, but why is he running with the idiom ‘putting the cart before the horse’? Yes, "What would Brian Bevan say?" returns for a fourth season. So brace yourself for over two hours of your life you'll never get back, as Dennis re-badges his section with a literary theme - but rather than running with a book synopsis decides to painstakingly read aloud in real time. Sam drops the bombshell he’s no longer a season ticket holder. Can he be persuaded back to the Halliwell Jones by an attractive brand of Rugby? Rob, dressed only in his underpants in sweltering Sydney heat, soon discovers his chair’s not made from real leather. There’s a debatable Greek quiz, a significant rant, predictions through the panel’s in-house scientific computer HAL, plus a vote-off between Sky's Jenna Brooks and Channel 4's Susie Dent. And premiering on the podcast, the new sitcom BEERS - set in the heartland of Cheshire's Stockton Heath, where everybody knows your name.

S3 Ep 89S3 Ep89: SIMON

After three excruciating years of Price and his Super League failures, the podcast searches for a solution to the ongoing Warrington shit show. Sam considers giving up watching the Wire altogether, and delivers a speech to rival Julius Caesar. Dennis enters all the hard hitting Wolves' problems into his WhatBevan super computer called the logic analytical binary information arbitrator, receiving an answer of pornographic Fitzpatrick proportions. And Rob misses most of the match due to his irritable bowel after consuming half a kilo of peanuts. Plus, there's highlights, a poem, a reluctant round of predictions, and it's hankies at the ready as we reach the final voyage on HMS HJ. Enjoy

Sep 27, 20211h 35m

S3 Ep 88S3 Ep88: APPARENTLY WE ONLY NEED TO TURN UP AGAINST HULL KR

E

There’s a guest appearance from Wire fan Dom but was he really expecting to see Rob apply cream to his hemorrhoids? Dennis has covid, although he adopts a Price hard-nosed attitude and brushes it off as a resilient cold, whilst Sam misses a home match due to pizza date night with Mrs Sankey. Plus, the Free Bar questions Stephen Hawkings‘ IQ, there’s a quiz, and a nuclear meltdown near Mutiny on the HJ - but can it really be seen from Morecambe Bay? And, apparently, Wire only need to turn up against Hull KR. Enjoy.

Sep 20, 20211h 44m

S3 Ep 87S3 Ep87: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE MISSISSIPPI SHOWBOAT THIGHS

E

With Warrington’s third place finish assured, the podcast asks the big questions. Were the ingredients of Sam’s pie at the Huddersfield game a metaphor for Wire’s performance? Will aliens soon be landing on Médecin Marvin Koukash? And why on earth did Rob, in Mr Smiths, pick a fight with Tony Tatupu? Plus, there’s a winner of Steve Price Bingo, a Rugby League human centipede, and a primary source review from the South Stand of a Wolves’ prop. Also not forgetting Mutiny on the HJ’s lifeboat goes round in circles due to a bias in the Robert Hicksboson field. Enjoy.

Sep 8, 20211h 58m

S3 Ep 86S3 Ep86: TO POSTPONE OR TO CANCEL - THAT IS THE QUESTION

E

Is it postponements or cancellations, and just how many tickets can you roll over? Yes, the podcast embraces yet another week of clusterfuck Super League. Dennis looks closely at essential job descriptions before offering alternatives, all whilst recording at 36,000 feet. Sam is kept up all night after partaking in a Wakefield e-riddled preservative-filled blue ice cream, and Rob considers taking Mrs London to a Michelin starred restaurant with a décor of Tom Lineham’s bollocks. Plus, there’s a lack of rumours, far too much news, and Mutiny on the HJ shoots-its-load accompanied by Beethoven’s 1812 overture. Enjoy

S3 Ep 85S3 Ep85: HOW MANY PIXELS IS MATT DAVIS?

E

With the Olympics in full swing, the podcast puts together its best 10 Wire players to compete in a Decathlon. A refreshing change sees Sam frame his shitistics precisely, unlike the framework of his bay window. Dennis decides a gay anthem pop song fits perfectly to the beat of Warrington's new star George Williams, and Rob discovers just how many pixels make up Matt Davis on a 4K TV. Plus, there's a mermaid aboard the HMS HJ, game reviews, referee calamities, and sex with Dave Woods on a desert island. Enjoy.

S3 Ep 84S3 Ep84: "DON'T BE A F*CKING IDIOT.. THIS THAT AND THE OTHER"

E

What would Brian Bevan say returns, but has a long absence, a stint in the jungle and the Euro's left the podcasters with match day amnesia? Sam brings his plagiarised shitistics on George Williams, Rob a pound or two heavier reads a lockdown letter serving up french porridge. And move over Gareth Southgate, as Dennis gives his own uninspiring Grand Final team talk. Plus, it's all-hands-on-deck with Captain Stevie matching player Jake Mamo's Positive Reinforcement Group, with his very own coaching acronym. Enjoy.

S3 Ep 83S3 Ep83: AND FINALLY MONSIEUR PRICE, A WAFER-THIN DEFENCE

E

Just how thin is Warrington's right-edge defence, Rob asks, before coming up with a list of comparisons. Warning - Sam breaks his record for expletives, and Dennis becomes all confused following a dose of Bermuda amnesia. Brace yourself for Daniel's soundbite, and strap-in for high seas on HMS HJ. Plus, there's a brawl at the free bar, and the real story behind the failure of the 1970's American Rugby League dream. Enjoy.

S3 Ep 82S3 Ep82: TOBY KING HOODWINKED BY 0.6%

E

With Wire’s marquee halfback full of beans, Warrington become the most attacking side in Super League, but has Toby King been hoodwinked by Simon Moran’s percentages? A homesick George turns out to be a dead ringer for a Canadian snooker player. Sam goes in search of a 1980’s discotheque, Dennis opens a free bar, and Rob questions a player’s penis through the reflection of a convex or concave coffee machine. Plus, Mutiny on the HJ goes missing at sea in the Bermuda Triangle. Enjoy.

S3 Ep 81S3 Ep81: SAM'S DOG REFUSES TO URINATE ON GREG INGLIS' FRONT LAWN

E

With fans back at the Halliwell Jones cheering on the Wire, the podcast ironically has no applause for Stevie’s team selection. Rob finds himself babysitting as his 6th wife deserts him for Eurovision. Dennis bathes in his fails and unexpectedly massages in Imperial Leather. And Sam’s dog senses an upset, following its scent-less antics. Plus, Chris Sandow contacts the pod and HMS HJ drops anchor in the Caribbean. Enjoy.

S3 Ep 80S3 Ep80: THE OLIVIER AWARD

E

There’s rumours a-plenty on this week’s podcast, which leads to another jingle. But if that’s not enough, the pod is joined by YouTube star Jake Lindsay from the Warrington Foundation. Rob blows his top following hate mail on Twitter. Sam’s shitistics go on for that long Jake turns to his phone. And Dennis loses the plot with a soundbite clusterfuck. Plus, HMS HJ heads for the Rock of Giblets. Enjoy. Jake's YouTube Channel https://youtube.com/channel/UC9B1Lf2MdUNy1iT1YsjH3lg
