    Whoops!!! Yes he is, and Brian Carney is Vice Captain.

    Joeys Farewell Radio Broadcast at Warrington

    Had his cheekbone and eye socket smashed by Terry Newton (Wigan hooker) a few weeks ago. Newton got hit with a 7 game ban for it, plus a 3 game for a high shot moments earlier. He appealed, and had his ban changed to 7 months, effectively two games more I think. Long has been included in St...

    Joeys Farewell Radio Broadcast at Warrington

    Many over here think we have a similar problem with the GB coach Brian Noble. He is also the Bradford Bulls coach and does seem to approach GB selection with his Red, Amber and White glasses on. From a Warrington point of view, we finished fourth in the league yet have one GB player (Martin...

    Joeys Farewell Radio Broadcast at Warrington

    There isn't that much of a gap between Hull and Bradford. It seems to me that the game over here doesn't have the intensity that NRL games have, and that is the biggest difference between NRL and ESL. Teams over here can build themselves up for a big game, as Hull did against Warrington, but...

    Joeys Farewell Radio Broadcast at Warrington

    Hull did lose 71-0. In their defense they had Stephen Kearney sent off after 6 minutes for his third high tackle on the same player (Stuart Fielden, the GB captain). After that it became obvious that Hull had peaked the week before and couldn't get anywhere near the same level of intensity...

    Joeys Farewell Radio Broadcast at Warrington

    Was held at the Warrington Stadium with a couple of hundred or so fans in the room. Many of the questions are repetitive, but then many are asked by kids who have been planning to ask Joey their question for days and are not going to be put off by the fact the same question has been asked...

    Joeys Farewell Radio Broadcast at Warrington

    Thought you may be interested in a radio broadcast on WireFM (Warringtons local radio station). The show was a Question and Answer format with Joey, Paul Cullen (Warrington Coach) and Lord Doug Hoyle (Warrington Chairman). The show was broadcast last night (Tuesday) over here...

    Peachey to honour Widnes contract

    Sorry, just to add.... An ironic twist to the story is that the NL Grand Final, which may determine whether or not Widnes keep their SL place, will be played at the Halton Stadium (Widnes's home ground).

    Peachey to honour Widnes contract

    The NL Grand Final will be Whitehaven v Castleford or Halifax. Widnes's main hope is that Halifax somehow beat all the odds and win the GF. Very unlikely. Should Castleford win the GF then they will be promoted. Reading between the lines of a RFL press release some weeks ago, should Whitehaven...

    Andrew Johns LIVE again - Hull vs Warrington

    The traditional industry in Warrington used to be wire production hence the Wire. With the advent of Super League, most clubs adopted American or Australian style nicknames. Warrington became Warrington Wolves, Wigan became the Warriors, Bradford Northern became Bradford Bulls etc. Fans at...

    Result of Joey's first game (spoiler)

    The centre, as has been said, was Martin Gleeson (the hooker off the bench, number 14, is his younger brother Mark). Martin is the GB centre and before Johns arrival would be regarded by many as the only world class player in the Wire squad. You may remember him as one of the guys (the other...

    Kimmorley to ESL?

    Just to put the Brett Kimmorley rumour into perspective. The rumour mill around here has been working overtime since we paid St Helens £200,000 (Aus$500,000) for Martin Gleeson. So far I have seen or heard that we are signing Brett Kimmorley, Adrian Morley and Darren Lockyer (amongst other...
