What would Brian Bevan say

It’s an apologetic podcast following Warrington’s magnifique performance, as the lads try to butter up their predictions from the previous week. Sam’s shitistics prove we’ve found our fourth prop, but ridiculously only one player can score down the Wolves’ right edge. Rob becomes an advocate for intermated player breeding. And Dennis goes in search, according to Sky’s commentary, of Warrington’s new player Greg Austin’s passport. Plus Madame Boyd returns with a new apprentice in her chippy, and Customs Officer Ms Phil Clarke de Clerk boards HMS HJ. Enjoy.

What would Brian Bevan say reviews two games in the company of blogger Daniel. But will the intrusion of an extra podcaster lead to another Iranian Embassy siege? Rob’s obsessed with points percentages and the fluid / nut ratio of Tom Lineham’s bollocks. Sam takes his stats to Albania. And Dennis’ social golden point distancing comes into question whilst oblivious to firewalls. Plus, Mutiny on the HJ gets tugged off from Jiffy. Enjoy.

After Warrington come up with a convincing win, the podcast questions just how shit are Leigh? Rob receives a letter of complaint but Carry’s On with his themed teams. Sam puts all his Wire golden boy posters back up. And Dennis fails to breakdown the molecular structure of a Flake, as he unexpectedly turns up the heat on Blake. Plus, HMS HJ outmanoeuvres a Primrose submarine. Enjoy.

After an abysmal opening Wire performance, the podcast goes in search of the answers to what went wrong. Sam's positivity towards Price wanes a numerical point, Rob investigates a specifc Doctor's Hippocratic Oath, and Dennis sits on his bench as he fails to explain the unexpected. Plus, there's Mutiny on the HJ and the Powell of Love. Enjoy.

With Wire’s first game not too far away, the podcast returns for a third season. The Classification Universal Numerical Tariff Society predicts the Super League top eight. Rob offers up his thoughts on a Ugandan dictator who would make an excellent prop, Dennis‘ Tackle Bags is replaced by Fails or the Unexpected, and Sam gets all lost at sea with the new “What would Brian Bevan say?” sitcom - Mutiny on the HJ. Enjoy.

With the announcement that coach Steve Price's resilient stay with Wire is set to finish come the close of the 2021 Super League season, it's time for a Prexit debate. Joining the three usual podcasting clowns are headband wearing Dave Birch from Warrington Hospital Radio, the gorgeous Matt Turner from Warrington Guardian and some geezer called Mike Brown "innit!" . Enjoy.

It comes with great pleasure to welcome Tony Barrow to the podcast. Tony coached the brilliant Wire side that won the Premiership in 1986 - when it really was "Our Year". Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy.

Due to Price running out of resilience it’s the last podcast of 2020. As the listeners run out of patience with Wire’s coach, we receive record amounts of listener feedback. The WhatBevan panel, known as the Classification Universal Numerical Tarif Society, rate the players. And is Cliff Richard set to be Warrington’s new boss? Sam’s shitistics “Countdown” the facts, as Rob admits his fantasy over in dictionary corner. Birthday boy Dennis goes out with a quiz of past and present tense. Plus, on Rimmer’s Lot there’s an assassination attempt from the “Grassy Hull”. Enjoy.

As the regular season comes to an end the podcasters let their hair down with a drink or twenty. And in their intoxicated state, set about reviewing Wire’s games, culminating in record number of expletives, and tarnished by Dennis' alcoholic aggressiveness fuelled by the castration of his tackle bags. Shitistics features a Chris Whitty Covid-19 impression. Daniel turns the lights out on Price as Sam reaches for the big light, Dennis for the dimmer switch, and Rob for a candle. Over on Rimmer's Lot there's more candles - this time Roman. And left to illuminate the podcast, Lockdown Letters returns - with a sexual fetish. Enjoy.

Wire manage to win two games in the space of 80 minutes, but the listeners’ horseshit still spikes by 11.3%. With another lockdown approaching, Dennis heads for the bunker - with his video referees in shock. Sam’s expletives hit an all time WhatsApp high, before he swings his shitistics left and right. Rob, still mourning from the loss of his 17-year-old cat, goes completely conkers. And a full moon on the night of the RL Museum Halloween party, leads to a plumber’s lycanthropy. Enjoy.

Has coach Price 'definitely maybe' come up with the oxymoron quote of the season? What type of cheese, metaphorically, is Toby King? When does a fixture go from being postponed to cancelled? Just how do Wire score their tries? And where was the opposing fullback when Brian Bevan played his first game? Will Ralph and Stevie enter Strictly and be crowned glitterball champions? And did Sam say the word 'twat' on the podcast? Enjoy.

To try and make sense of another Wire loss, the podcast turns to a man that watched Brian Bevan play his first ever game for Warrington. Rob critiques the lentils on the 1876 Halliwell Jones restaurant menu. After being trolled on social media, Daniel sets the record straight. Currie‘s curry of the week is back. Dennis offers up a Rugby pool taskforce team. And by popular demand, Rimmer’s Lot returns, as Stevie visits Ralph on the hospital ward. But what cocktail of drugs will have Rimmer back on his feet and driving through the streets of Batley, waving to his fans? Enjoy.

It’s a time for reflection as the show gets to grips with the past seven days of Wire action, but will the podcast lapse into a US-style Presidential debate? Sam digs up historical facts on Wigan’s grand tour of the Vatican to unearth which Pope told them first to “fuck off” with translations in Italian and Latin. Rob’s had a nasty fall, but even with a cracked rib, he still believes he has a better torso than Samy Kibula. Dennis’ Tackle Bags comes up with a Segway to speed up the SL referees. And, which ex Wire players share their surnames with capital cities? Enjoy.

The Big Opening Burrell's Visit A Big Turd The Canadian Call What Would Mother Do? Tony's Cardboard Cutouts Hetherington A Bull In A China Shop The Pizzeria Health Inspector Cummings A Cake Of Percentages Who Shot RR?

This week the podcast "gets its shit together" following the Sky Sports Mamomite interview. Wire make it 9 wins on the trot, with Sam trotting out the shitistics on props Hill, Cooper and Philbin - but will it take their own anagrams to split the difference? An outbreak of caveatitus sees Daniel being infected, leading to Dennis’ idea of a Halliwell Jones bubble suit with attached drinking pipe. Rimmer’s Lot comes to a climax with the shooting - not of JR but who shot RR? And taking a break from Warrington action the podcast looks at LGBTQ cruises to Antartica. Enjoy.

After another brilliant Wire victory is there room in the team for all their stars? The podcast speaks with both Widdop’s and Inglis’s Australian agents - but can we read between their lines? Dennis takes the game by the balls with his NAD revolutionary technology, and a header leads to a headstrong podcasters debate. Sam has a theory on crowd-less goal kicking conversions, but just what are the top 5 converts when typed into google? Rob is guilty of finally praising Anthony Gelling after he witnesses a performance full of conviction. And Rimmer’s Lot bakes up a fishy end that could clearly diminish the podcasts‘ 12% female listener demographic. Enjoy.

With the RFL changing the Super League table to points percentage, the podcasters have their abacuses ready. Wire score a brilliant winning try in the 97.5% moment of the match but Dennis calculates what percentage of tries are lost due to rugby posts. Sam takes us through his mathematical top-four-clusterfuck-ratio, with Rob offering to provide supportive graphs because he’s got sod all else to do. Over on Rimmer’s Lot, just what has Steve Price put down his pants to hide from Health Inspector Cummings? And with the season on a knife-edge, the show embraces a Churchillian speech for Rugby League’s finest hour (that’s 4.16% of a day, by the way). Enjoy.Dennis' Rick Stein dinner menu: https://bit.ly/2RlNQ5D

Has coach Price finally discovered his best seventeen? The podcast reflects on a brilliant collective Wire effort, along with some outstanding individual performances. And is Stefan Ratchford the best number 13 in Super League - even though he won’t be able to walk for a week? After receiving a written warning, Dennis is rubbed up the wrong way, but what are the best 10 things to touch? Sam shows an in-depth knowledge of Grange Hill but it’s Rob who’s ordered a pint of mild from Ziggy in The Town House on a non-Gentleman’s Afternoon. Plus, Ralph Rimmer opens a rival pizzeria at the National Rugby League museum. Enjoy.

With Declan set to leave Wire, the podcast desperately tries to sell off Patton merchandise. The monetisation doesn’t stop there though, with Rob pushing for a sponsorship deal that ‘plumbs’ new depths. Dennis‘ Tackle Bags is distracted by breaking news. Sam calculates how many replicas of him make up the energy of one Mamo. And is Samy Kibula’s body shape the same as Les Dawson’s lead dancer or a Henry Moore statue? Plus, on the set of Rimmer’s Lot, Ben Murdoch Masila drops by to complete his vacuuming certificate diploma. Enjoy.

Which washing detergent does Coach Price use? We may not have the answer but Steve’s attacking stats come out in the wash during Sam’s shitistics. Dennis signals the death of RL fair play, following Flakey Blake‘s show-pony antics. Rob reveals the average IQ of a podcast listener with Catchment Universal Mathematically - Generated Arithmetic Reynolds Geometrics Listener Enticer. And just what did Sky commentator Ben Proe receive in his A-level Chemistry? Plus Gary Hetherington drops by Rimmer’s Lot. Enjoy.

As Wire return victorious, the podcast can finally discuss a match... but more importantly where would Idris Elba and Bill Arthur go clubbing together? Steve Price invents a new word, “Blind-Shotted”, which turns out to be a section at Jerkmeoff.com. Dennis, restricted by recording in his holiday B&B’s public lounge, only swears twice. Sam has new graph paper for his shitistics as he blows the Chris Hill penalty myth. And Rob books a table at Wayne Bennett’s covid-bubble restaurant of choice Grappa, only to complain about the parking. Enjoy

As Wire get ready for action with no spectators, Area 51 takes a look at Warrington attendances. Steve Price moves away from his ‘resilience’ saying to his new quote of ‘versatility’, but are the Wolves fringe players as versatile as the Swiss Army knife? Meanwhile over the alpine border it’s the sharpness of a French cutting-edge commentator that tops the vote, as the podcast also votes on Daniel’s date night. Dennis gives Rob an elocution lesson on how to pronounce Osdal to improve his vocal range, as a pissed-up Sam hangs out at The Grange. And, an overweight referee pops into the RL museum whilst his mother’s at the chiropodist. Enjoy

This week, the Podcast rewrites the Wire kickers’ record books, following the application of the Magnus Effect and kinetic energy. Dennis’ Tacklebags’ new Rugby ball invention is far from a drag. Sam’s eyes water after hearing an anagram of Danny Walker. And can Rob perfect his Brian Cox impersonation before the podcast tracks down Warrington’s Greek winger Pheidippides on the Island of Lesbos? Plus, during an on-air tiff, the podcasters fall out over Toronto. Enjoy.

As the podcast converts to Rugby Union, can Wire convert to a 58% winning ratio in their home, away or neutral bids? Dennis seeks planning permission on Saddleworth Moor for the new RL Superdome. Sam relives a 38,000ft sexual encounter with Henry Fa'afili, before Chris Hill drops by Rimmer’s Lot where there’s a sticky situation. And Rob reads a Lockdown Letter from a Barbie fan who’s the niece of a West German tank driver. Plus, not forgetting the Hezbollah and Clare Balding. Enjoy

To scrum or not to scrum, that is the question. Yes, the podcast goes in search of the phantom Super League scientific paper, as well as Andrew Johns’ file, held in Area 51. Rob details Barbie’s extensive vehicle portfolio from 1962 to 1990, Dennis’ tackle bags ‘snatches’ a pay-as-you-play scheme, and Sam can’t get enough of a bare-chested Luther. Rimmer’s Lot is back with aristocracy visiting the museum. And as the podcast misses out at the National Podcast awards in all 12 categories, tensions run high. Enjoy.

The podcast brings you a parodic sitcom set at the new national RL museum, entitled ‘Rimmer’s Lot’. And following on from the Greg Inglis scoop, the lads discuss just what he was cooking in his microwave. Sam’s shitistics analyse how much you should pay for a good hooker, which easily converts to Amsterdam red light currency. Dennis’ tackle bags has the leading sports trainer manufacturers queuing up to patent his invention, and Rob reads out a contentious lockdown letter requesting for the removal of Brian’s statue! Plus, knob gags aplenty, along with Gardeners’ Question Time. Enjoy.

What would Brian Bevan say presents a podcast exclusive, as we are privileged to be joined by footballing genius, Greg Inglis. We hear about Greg's proud Indigenous heritage and how his youth turned him into the skilful player we see today. He reminisces about his time with Melbourne and the Bunnies, and explains why he is ready to continue his Rugby League journey at the Halliwell Jones. We discuss players, family and the Inglis's connection with Kempsey's cricketing superstar Phil Hughes. What comes across in this revealing interview is that Greg Inglis is a sensitive man, whose passion for his local community has led to his new charity, but on the football field Greg's alter ego GI, now rested and recuperated, is fit and ready to go. Super League and Warrington Wolves, watch out!

This week’s guest Daniel, from I’ve Got A Loose Wire, educates the podcast on the hobby of blogging. Sam’s shitistics take aim at Wire coaches, but is there a coach with the capacity to take 60 pensioners to watch Arthur Askey? A player’s Instagram profile leads to a standoff between young and old, and Dennis’ new interactive referees' top, comes with a confusing dry clean only warning. A Green Party canvasser takes the full brunt of the remains of a Welsh prop forward’s breakfast. And, can Madame Boyd help Rob make contact with Greg Inglis to invite him on Wednesday’s show? Enjoy. Link to Daniel's blog: https://aloosewire.blogspot.com/

Dave Birch, commentator for Warrington Hospital Radio, is this week’s guest. We find out from Dave what it takes to commentate on the Wire, but more importantly, which player he was attracted to that wore denim shorts on cold Sunday evenings. ITV Presenter Davina McCall goes on a search for Steve Price in a special episode of Long Lost Tactics. Sam decides to read out the Wire props’ Tinder profiles to determine who’s the best catch, but it’s an ex-Wolves beefcake with a love of fishing who’s catching a Podcast de-bait. We evaluate how many Adrian Morleys make up a Great White, along with scientifically scrummaging for the Covid head n feed. Dennis decides he’ll go into PR and make over the Super League refs. And there’s a blockbuster finish with Rob reading out the What Bevan political correctness statement. Listen to coverage of the Wire games here with Dave Birchwww.radiogeneral.co.uk

As the vertical green and red stripes win the club’s top of the tops, the ley lines are drawn in this week's podcast by determining statistically which Wire wingers are the best - but there's only one speedster that aligns with a podcaster's erection. Sam takes a confusing look at the salary cap without a caveat of VAT. Following a fan's lockdown letter sent from the Channel Islands, Rob refuses to take a DNA test. Dennis recycles more tackle bag ideas, but it's a Wolves' centre that cycles off track to a King’s ransom. And are we about to enter into a Super League merry-go-round of second rowers?

The Rugby coach Steve Anderson served a terrific apprenticeship in the heartland of Queensland Rugby League, before an incredible coaching journey took him to the newly-formed team, the Western Reds. With the Super League war in full swing, Steve would then help create the Melbourne Storm. After the Storm made history by winning their first grand final, Steve would go one step further and become assistant coach during the Australian Kangaroos’ victory at the 2000 World Cup. But during celebratory drinks, Steve would accept an offer to join the staff at Leeds. And then in 2001, he was appointed Head Coach of the Warrington Wolves. When Steve arrived at the Wire it seemed the perfect match. But what went wrong? Why did he last only 14 games in charge? And were the Wolves only a week away from Moran’s first big cheque buying an Australian test centre? What would Brian Bevan say podcast, in conversation with Steve, unravels the myths to find the truth. Did he really stand a chance with a poorly ventilated en suite toilet, a fancy leisure club, a hostile local press, a drinking culture, and a group of players who were not willing to buy in, against a board of directors looking to buy out? In an open and honest interview, Steve is the first to admit where he went wrong. But nearly 20 years on, is the truth actually that the Ando RL methodology was too forward-thinking for Wilderspool, and would it all have been different had he taken the reins at the HJ? The interview will open your eyes. EnjoyLink to Ando's book: https://read.amazon.com.au/kp/kshare?asin=B0893MKK5R&id=lxukDk0cTf-c36i8SpxFeg&ref_=r_ea_vl_b_0_rsw_ss_AAAUAAA&reshareId=C5RFMKZ2FQ5QFY0DQPA8&reshareChannel=system

Has the podcast rebranded to become the Greg Inglis show? Flakey Blako preaches to his disciples about a Tuesday evening drive through, much to the annoyance of Brothers Waywell and London. Lockdown Letters receives its first transgender email, leaving two coaching styles embroiled in a clash of gender. The listeners vote relocation relocation to decide where Wire’s new superstar should call home. Dennis' new computer program V.A.N.K throws-up more permutations than Deep Blue, but it's Sam's strategical chess play that leads to a tactical King's move. Plus, it’s not quite a pair of Rugby sticks that the podcast dines out on, with Ben Currie’s curry of the week. And is today’s coaching methodology not such a new phenomenon, as we dig into Wilderspool’s past?

Chris Riley is this week's podcast guest. We chat with Chris about growing up and adapting to his brother's illness, and how playing Rugby League for Penketh High School gave him a great start in the game. Chris tragically lost his mother on Christmas Day, and we hear from Chris about the wonderful compassion Tony Smith showed him - a story not many have heard. We learn how Paul Cullen gave Chris his debut, and how James Lowes should be praised for his one-on-one coaching and his encouragement. We discuss Chris's staggering three Challenge Cup victory medals, one of which he gave to his Dad. But Chris's warm-heartedness doesn't stop there, as evidenced by his tireless work with the Warrington Foundation. Following his retirement, Chris found the love for his new job, a support worker helping young adults with autism. In his own words, Chris describes himself as "a boy playing a man's game" but in the podcast's and the fans' eyes he is much more than this - a cherished Wire player and an outstanding human being.

With the 75th anniversary VE celebrations fresh in the podcasters’ minds, Dennis and Rob fight over their respective Granddads’ war contributions. And which Warrington players will have their conscriptions renewed, or be demobbed by the club? A political affair leaves Ben Currie on rations of powdered egg. Daniel is left shell shocked in the trenches following a podcasting mission that was a bridge too far, and Sam’s call of duty leads to a suggestion of a thinning out in the Wolves’ barracks.

With no guests on this week's episode, the podcasters are left scratching their heads with the realisation that embracing solitude is the "new norm". They discuss whether Wire were a second row forward short in their quest for the 93-94 Championship, before Dennis takes an in-depth look at the Halifax team and completely misses the point - along with managing to exceed this month's expletive quota. Jonathan Davies hangs the podcast out to dry, which leads to a jealous Rob attacking Dave Woods - but will the BBC have the last laugh and claim the Twitter vote? A weight of evidence indicates that the players’ group is not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness. And which Wolves player would make the perfect mental and physical candidate for The Krypton Factor? But as all these lockdown emotions take hold, Sam's Scrupulosity disorder flares up again, and with the suggestion of relieving his anxiety through the medium of art, it amounts to nothing more than a selection of pathetic felt-tip pens on a canvas of vegan shite.

What would Brian Bevan say is honoured by the presence of the BBC's Mr Rugby League, Dave Woods. Strap in for a marathon podcast, as Dave discusses his endurance rowing achievement and his feeble pet guinea pig he keeps in his garage that he's trying to Mirror into a fine physical specimen. We discuss Dave's road to journalism - and Lincolnshire - but more importantly we discover the difference between catering at a 21st birthday party and a 25 year wedding anniversary bash. But the beatings don't stop there, as a lanky Kangaroo fullback is slayed by Welsh-side-step-wizardry and a man the size of Sampson. Dennis looks for a forward for his new RL cookbook, but will Dave save Dennis' bacon? Sam's Statistics are undermined by a Locker Cup programme. And just what colour would you paint Dave's genitals with the choice of only two Airfix paints? Enjoy and please stay safe.

Lee Briers personifies Rugby League and in this week’s episode Lee joins the podcast to discuss his incredible career, coaching, and multicoloured beard. We learn how he’d gatecrash Knowsley Road, which St Helens players are best to throw house bricks at, and just where and when to break into the Halliwell Jones. We chat about how Lee’s caring for NHS frontline workers, those vulnerable in the community, and Steve Price in the gantry. Lee offers insights into his debut Wilderspool neurophysiological disorientation training session, and how it’s impossible to park a bus when faced with a mob of Kangaroos, before offering to take an elevated golf iron to the face of the inventor of the “It’s Our Year” slogan. Enjoy.

What would Brian Bevan say podcast is honoured to be in the presence of Warrington Wolves legend and now head of strength & conditioning for England Rugby Union - Jon Clarke. In an hour-long special, Jon reflects on his amazing Rugby League journey from signing as a teenager for Wigan, to his move to the capital following a life-changing experience, his arrival at his beloved Wire, and how his fondness for the Widnes pitch lead to a resowing of his lawn. We discuss his Warrington coaches - Darryl van der Velde and Steve Anderson, his adulation of Paul Cullen and how 'Psycho' saved the club, the art of Tony Smith's shit sandwiches, and just why Warrington missed out on a Super League title. He tells the podcast how the tragic loss of Paul Darbyshire affected him, and how Paul's son is now following in his wonderful father's footsteps. We also hear which Wire player defies all logic in his preparation for a game by eating a morning fry-up, and the secret for us all to staying fit and healthy during these difficult times. And chat about the brilliant players Jon has played with, from Andrew Johns and Alfie Langer, to Brett Hodgson and even Lee Briers! An episode not to be missed by any true Wire fan.

With no Rugby League, the action comes in the way of the fabulous Sun sports journalist Gary Carter. The podcast questions Gary on the Wolves but the little devil seems more up for promoting his beloved Salford. We celebrate 25 years of Super League with more of Gary‘s Salford anecdotes, and will Dennis’ new board game be plagiarised by Gary to boost Salford revenue? Sam and Gary collectively knock one out over Salford prodigy Stefan Ratchford, before discussing the exact proximity of Daryl Clark’s house in relation to Castleford’s scoreboard. The blockbuster movie The King’s Reach premieres, and just how good is Steve Price‘s memory? And Rob endeavours to bring back the classic ITV game show Mr and Mrs, as a young couple from Salford prove to be a winning partnership.

With the Super League season suspended, Simon and Karl are trapped together in an underground Cheshire bunker, as the podcast is left to reflect in isolation on what was, and will be. Due to a booking error, rather than Tina Turner joining the show, the brilliant Matthew Turner, sports journalist from the Warrington Guardian, steps in. We find out from Matt just when Tony Smith will look you in the eye, although a carfeul edit of the recording is necessary after he constantly knocks Ben Murdoch Masila. Sam is reluctantly left to draw his stats from online gaming, Dennis's solitary confinement brings his mental state into question following his keep fit tackle bags, and Rob calls on all referees to be retrained mid-season. Plus, not all Price's community calls go to plan, and we Imagine a world without Rugby League - as we go out on a song.

As the apocalypse approaches, Warrington win in the city of Hull, which ironically is pretty much the end of the earth. Ben Murdoch Masila’s new hairstyle goes viral in a listener vote off, as Dennis - wearing his new, innovative, bright red chevron Wire jersey - offers to meet the big man at the barbers. Sam’s obsession with Ben Currie reaches pandemic proportions, and due to his self-isolation he’s left ordering a heat-o-meter takeaway. And with little time left for us all and Wire having travelled east, Rob decides to read a dubious email from the west about the construction of the Wilderspool stand that leads to infectious laughter.

It’s a somewhat mixed listener reaction following the Castleford win. Was it only hard slog and commitment that edged Wire to victory, or was there quality also in their performance? Currie adds chilli to the mix, leading to a spike in his heat’o’meter reading, but the absent Burrell is left dining elsewhere following a delivery of opulant John Lewis cutlery. Dennis decides to write to Karl Fitzpatrick as he's convinced his new Resili-tent-test will revolutionise marquee signings, Sam finally comes up with a good idea following 75 hours of podcast recordings, and Rob not only talks bollocks but sits on one too, before predicting a postponement.

The podcasters are almost lost for words after Warrington’s Headingley clusterfuck performance, and Sam’s stats only back up the team’s shambolic away form. Steve Price continues to be confused by past & present tense, as well as creating a new word for the English language. Chris Hill enters Mastermind with a specialist subject of answering RL questions the question before last. Rob’s Hadron Decider robot has developed an infatuation for the actor John Nettles, but still has time to cast his quantum chip over the goings-on at Widnes with Patton and Latu. Dennis explains the benefits of the players’ group adopting the cognitive dissonance theory, before Daniel pulls down our very own marquee.

Just what is the provenance of Jason Clark? The podcast commissions the BBC’s Fiona Bruce to lead an investigation. There’s a cacophony of match analysis, with not one but two games for Sam’s ‘shitistics’ to review. The launch of Madame Boyd TV leads to an unprecedented level of listener responses. Dennis plans for a Wire commune, but will his psychological experiment, combined with Bennie Westwood‘s catering van, end in a dystopian players’ group? And Rob reads out a brash and bitter transatlantic love letter.

Saints are kept scoreless, and there's no sign of gingivitis in Wire's players' group, as Steve Price explains the success behind his team's minty breath. Sam praises his pin-up boy Ben Currie with his statisticulations, and Dennis gets lost trying to find Warrington's press box before succumbing to a negtive DJ's hospital pass. But it’s left to Rob to calculate just how much confectionery it takes to cover every blade of grass at the Halliwell Jones.

The coach and the club directors describe Matty Ashton as their favourite super cars but it's the Podcast's description that takes pole position. Warrington claim a moral victory at the DW and Sam's new spreadsheet only backs up the podcast's positivity. Steve Price dusts off the Yellow Pages in search of his biographical coaching publication. Dennis's new journalist pass gives us a scoop on which fine coffee beans are percolating at a rugby league press conference. And just how much hesitation, repetition and deviation can there be when the topic of discussion is a Wire player, with Rob fancying his hand as the new host of Just a Minute.

Les Dawson plays the piano as he accompanies the club owner with his reflections on last season. The Andrew Henderson interview is interrupted by Wire’s new sponsor, and which legendary Warrington player has the biggest girth? Plus there’s a review of all the players, including the collective noun for each position. Madame Boyd divulges a surprising prediction, as Sam prepares to take Mrs Sankey up the CN Tower. Rob’s pre-season is scuppered by getting married for a 5th time, but it’s overshadowed by Dennis’ lack of conditioning, as he reports back to the podcast a stone heavier than Kevin Ward.

It's the What would Brian Bevan say almost live Christmas special, as the podcast takes a look back, month by month, at Warrington Wolves' season of 2019. Do we believe Wire's year to be a success or did the Wolves become the first ever Canis lupuses to hibernate? Is there contradiction between coach and CEO? And as Christmas Day draws to a close in Australia, it's clear Rob's had one too many, but can his artificial intelligence, one-legged RL prototype robot see him through to Boxing Day? There's a festive quiz that leaves Sam Sankey bemused and bereft of points, and Dennis sees into the future after his call to Madame Boyd. Plus, comedy sound bites and a good olde sing-a-long around the piano.

To celebrate tonight’s new Wire kit launch, relive the moment the Warrington players modelled Steve Price’s designed bridal collection at Milan fashion week. Commentary from the podcasts very own Halliwell Moans & Fletcher Treat.

A Rugby League Bond you can trust
