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 - ...

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...

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 neurophysiolog...

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 - D...

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 Clar...

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 ...

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 trav...

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 co...
Mar 09, 2020•1 hr 14 min•Season 2Ep. 39
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 hi...

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 transatlan...

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,...

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 overshadow...

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? Ther...

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?
Sep 23, 2019•1 hr 31 min•Season 1Ep. 32
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...

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 ...

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 09, 2019•1 hr 7 min•Season 1Ep. 29
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.

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, 2019•1 hr 10 min•Season 1Ep. 27
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, 2019•1 hr 8 min•Season 1Ep. 26
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, 2019•55 min•Season 1Ep. 25
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?

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.
