A comprehensive 2026 season review
Warrington Wolves' campaign may now be over - but we're not quite finished just yet!
We have two more episodes of our dedicated Wire podcast for you to round out our first season, starting with this comprehensive review of what we saw from the team in 2026.
Matt Turner, Mike Parsons and Gareth Dunning take a look back over eight months of twists, turns, highs and lows which ended with Sam Burgess' side falling just short of the ultimate glory of winning the Super League Grand Final.
Before that, Warrington had undergone an impressive resurgence to go from an eighth-place finish in 2025 to third this time around, with a staggering home record of 16 wins from 17 matches in all competitions being the foundation of their efforts.
We look at where we feel Warrington are heading into the off-season and assess the changes we feel they still need to make before the 2027 campaign begins.
Then next week, we will bring you our season finale as we hand our our "alternative awards" for 2026.

Unpacking more Grand Final heartbreak for Wire
As the dust settles on yet another Grand Final defeat for Warrington Wolves, it's time to unpack where things went wrong at Old Trafford.
Matt Turner, Mike Parsons and Gareth Dunning take one final look at the defeat to Wakefield Trinity as well as looking at some of the fallout from it, with sections of the fanbase expressing their anger and frustration. While plenty of it was justified, did some of it go too far?
Warrington found themselves 19-0 down at the break following a nightmare first half as they conceded the biggest half-time deficit in a Grand Final since 2001. When it became clear that Plan A was not working, why was Plan B not enacted sooner?
We also ask whether or not Warrington need to look deeper into why the team has once again failed to perform in a final.
The chaps then discuss England's squad for the Rugby League World Cup, which was announced on Monday with three Wire players included - but was another unfortunate not to get a seat on the plane to Australia?
All of that and more on this week's episode of "The Wire Untangled" - the Warrington Guardian's dedicated Warrington Wolves podcast
