S1 Ep 32S1 Ep32: WHO MADE A MESS OF KARL'S JUMPER?

E

The season comes to a flacid end with Price not having the resilience to stimulate his players. There's a Super League Bake Off final. Sam gives his review on the team but is it more of a public announcement? Dennis doesn't pull his finger out but puts his finger in, and Rob interviews Kevin Brown's Achilles heel. And just what is that on the front of Karl Fitzpatrick's M&S jumper?

S1 Ep 31S1 Ep31: KARL FITZPATRICK INTERVIEW

bonus

The Podcast is delighted to be joined by Warrington Wolves' very own CEO Karl Fitzpatrick. We find out how Karl takes his shower, if he believes in ghosts, and what the reasoning was behind the departure of Kevin Brown. Dennis offers up a selection of tackle bag ideas to Karl, as we ponder just what is the average demographic of a Wolves fan? And we get an answer to the ultimate question: If we lose to Castleford, do the board and club custodians believe this year has been a success? But perhaps more importantly, did Mrs Fitzpartick have the wool pulled over her eyes during a visit to Cheshire Oaks? Enjoy.

S1 Ep 30S1 Ep30: I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING

E

Were the Wolves taken by surprise at Leeds? Steve Price seems to think so. Patton's registered yet another move, Dicky Agar's joined by human resources and Sir Robert Elstone's frying up an economic success with Madame Boyd. Sam takes a look at all the players' stats and the figures show a worrying slide, and Daniel continues Wire's descent with a downhill rant, before Rob plummets to an even deeper depth with a story of a ghostly spirit. So it's left to Dennis to provide a play-off format that could help Warrington ascend all the way back to the top.

S1 Ep 29S1 Ep29: BLAKE'S CHOCOLATE FINGER

E

There may be a slab of confection at the HJ but Wire are far from perfection, and has Patton invented a new play of the ball that’s about as useful as a chocolate fireguard? Dennis Revels in his idea of iBench, Sam misses out on a Flake but pervs on Stuart Pearce’s 6 inches, and it’s no Marathon as Rob reminisces about Headingley in the company of the women's indoor 60m British sprint champion.

Sep 9, 20191h 7m

S1 Ep 28S1 Ep28: SHAFTED BY SKY

E

The Podcast commemorates Salford's very own artist, LS Lowry, but is there any provenance to Steve Price's matchstick men? Rimmer takes aim on Bullseye, and we have a ticket to ride with the Wire team, on the buses. Sam reflects on the beauty of the A J Bell Stadium, Dennis shafts his tackle bags section with a players protection idea, and Rob, whilst high on drugs, dreams of Jenny Agutter dressed as a nurse.

S1 Ep 27S1 Ep27: THE CUP'S PRIMROSE AND BLUE

E

An amazing day at Wembley sees the Warrington Wolves win the Challenge Cup with a magnificent victory over a dog shit St Helens - and is Daryl Clark so good he could win the Grand National? Rob offers up not one but two singalongs. Dennis is seated in the Royal Box, which leads to him setting up a meeting with Ralph Rimmer, and Sam continues on the piss come Sunday morning with a breakfast champagne.

Aug 26, 20191h 10m

S1 Ep 26S1 Ep26: HALFBACK CHALLENGED CUP SPECIAL

E

With the listeners' negative comments about the Wire flooding in, the podcasters search for a "Patton" of positivity. Rimmer enters the Dragon's Den, and Panorama heads to the Balearics in search of Austin's left ankle. Sam lords on about his free ticket but Dennis may well just have top-trumped him, and "how's about that, then?" as Rob reminisces over a Cup final homecoming, which leaves the Podcast in a fix.

Aug 20, 20191h 7m

S1 Ep 25S1 Ep25: BIONIC TITS

E

The podcasters receive a series of interruptions from an unwanted guest. Rimmer sets off in his van, al fresco to Tesco. With a youthful feel to Wire's line up against Saints, has Rob come up with a series of mathematical equations to disprove Sky & Steve Price’s theory? Also, Dennis takes Tackle Bags into a six million dollar future, and Sam, whilst half pissed, continues with his statistical bullshit.

Aug 13, 201955 min

S1 Ep 24S1 Ep24: WOLVES' WEDDING "ALTAR"CATION

Fashion gurus Halliwell Moans & Fletcher Treat critique Steve Price's bridal collection at Milan Fashion Week, and there's a new blockbuster film trailer featuring a Warrington Wolves star-studded cast. Dennis goes live and interactive during Tackle Bags (how could that possibly go wrong?). Sam dials in from the morning after his swingers camping weekend, and has Rob come down from cloud nine after correctly predicting the Catalans score?

Aug 6, 20191h 0m

S1 Ep 23S1 Ep23: WIRE OFF TO WEMBLEY

E

The podcast celebrates the news Wire are bound for Wembley. There’s an appeal for Jack sightings, as the other Jack sets off on his journey to Featherstone. Sam overheats in the Spanish sun, Dennis steps his analysis up and Rob endeavours to flog T-shirts (especially to the ladies). And no second referendum required, following a landslide winner in Decxit.

S1 Ep 22S1 Ep22: CARRY ON UP THE CHARNLEY

E

Rugby League seems obsessed with 1% extra this week, but do the figures add up? And what calculation is really required if Barbara Windsor from Carry on Camping is to achieve a DD? Sam receives a letter of complaint about his "anything goes in the bar" comment, Dennis discovers there's more to Tony Smith's empire than coaching after Madame Boyd barks her orders, and did Rob find more than he bargained for while packing his suitcase for the family holiday? Oh, and young Callum meets his Wire hero when he interviews Josh Charnley.

Jun 26, 20191h 9m

S1 Ep 21S1 Ep21: THIRTY FIVE 25

E

The episode takes on a more conversational style with Richard Shaw-Wright from Forty20 podcast joining the show. But has Rob thrown Sam a hospital pass when he questions him on the topic of Women’s Rugby League? Dennis renames Hawkeye and searches TripAdvisor for a good night out in Wakefield. Also has Richard been paid this week and splashed out on a king prawn madras?

Jun 18, 20191h 16m

S1 Ep 20S1 Ep20: GARETH WIDDOP - EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

bonus

An episode not to be missed by any Wire fan, as GARETH WIDDOP joins Rob, Dennis and Sam on the podcast. In an hour-long interview we find out all about Gareth and what he's looking forward to once he arrives at the Warrington Wolves, but also just how professionally-focused he is in his current role as the St George Illawarra captain. Plus, there's music, highlights, and yes, even Gareth couldn't escape Dennis' tackle bags.

Jun 13, 20191h 4m

S1 Ep 19S1 Ep19: HILL'S UNDER THE HAMMER

E

With Chris Hill seeking to rent out his terrace cottage in Golborne, was going on Britain's favourite daytime TV property show a good idea? Sam turns his attention to the perfect incline for a vineyard, Rob joins in on the theme by introducing Catalans' fullback as a mutant clone of the pinot noir variety, and Dennis tags along, making a disgusting attempt at the phonetic alphabet.

Jun 11, 20191h 3m

S1 Ep 18S1 Ep18: BRIAN COX'S WIRE UNIVERSE

E

Does a Wire player hold the key to the mystery of the universe, or is Sam's letter from his mum more important? Rob reveals the secrets to his diet, as Dennis relives the days of sticky Betamax. And the Latin phrase Semper denim not de labore perfectly sums up Warrington's performance.

Jun 4, 201950 min

S1 Ep 17S1 Ep17: PATTON'S 33.3333% IMPROVEMENT

E

A magical weekend from the Wire, but is Dennis's hair standing on end because of his first podcast rant or the introduction of the Super League Van de Graaff? Sam's gone all cultured after his trip to the Chelsea Flower Show, and Rob turns back the clock to the Alex Murphy era when players dived for the line not worrying about getting scraped knees.

May 28, 20191h 2m

S1 Ep 16S1 Ep16: LINEHAM'S CYNTHIA

E

The podcast welcomes Tom Lineham, but just which Super League referee would Tom like to accompany him on a romantic weekend? Sam begrugingly reviews the Hull game as Rob foreshadows the death of the Great Barrier Reef. And has Dennis supersized a popular breakfast cereal to give Wire a competitive edge?

May 21, 20191h 8m

S1 Ep 15S1 Ep15: TANTRA MOMENTUM

E

Dennis realises he has a conflicting appointment come Challenge Cup final day, Sam explains the playoff format but can't be arsed with Ratchford's kicking statistics, and back at the helm, Rob steers the podcast forward without the use of any momentum. Plus, there's a new boy band in town, and an advertisement for the new non-stick Kevin Sinfield cooking pan range.

May 14, 20191h 0m

S1 Ep 14S1 Ep14: WARRINGTON - SIMPLY THE BEST

E

It's Challenge Cup week, so there's been a shake up at the podcast with Dennis Waywell taking over the reins. Rob's been at the vino, leading to him getting 20 years of NRL fallacies off his chest, and we find out just what kind of sauce Mrs Sankey prefers on her sausage. Patton awaits approval from the patent office over his doodlebug kick, and we discover what Ralf Rimmer gets up to at the RFL.
