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

Ben Currie special - reflections on a stellar career

It is a very special episode of "The Wire Untangled" this week as host Matt Turner is joined by Warrington Wolves forward Ben Currie. The club's longest-serving player reflects on how he first came to join them from boyhood side Wigan, progressing through the ranks during a golden era at The Halliwell Jones Stadium and a senior career filled with highs and lows. Currie opens up on the two ACL injuries that hindered him, the difficulties that followed and rediscovering his love of the game under Sam Burgess.

Valid concerns or perspective needed?

Matt, Mike and Gareth are back for the latest episode of our weekly Warrington Wolves podcast. In it, we talk more about the imminent arrival of Brodie Croft and how his signing for 2027 might affect the halves he may be linking up with at The Halliwell Jones Stadium. And despite another victory in Toulouse at the weekend, there is some concern floating around that The Wire's performances are trending the wrong way - are they valid? Or is some perspective needed given where they sit in the competition? To finish, we turn our attention to a first league meeting with Bradford Bulls in more than a decade - is it good to have the Bulls back in the top flight?

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
