THE WRAP-UP PODCAST: On our way back to 'HJ South'
WEMBLEY again olé olé... The song that's no doubt been running through every Warrington Wolves fan's head since Sunday evening, so a fitting way in which to start this week's episode of "The Wrap-Up." Our weekly match review podcast is back this week to dissect and have the final say on what was a memorable Challenge Cup semi-final against Leigh Leopards. The Wire ran out 21-14 winners at the Totally Wicked Stadium to book their eighth visit to Wembley Stadium since it reopened in 2007 - so can it now officially be known as "HJ South?" This week's podcast includes an exclusive chat with prop James Harrison and audio from head coach Sam Burgess' post-match press conference. We also have our usual fan contributors Gareth Dunning and Rob Croston back to have their say on the action as excitement for the final against Hull KR starts to build.

GAME DAY: Build-up and key info as Wire face Wigan at Magic Weekend
IT'S now Warrington Wolves' turn to take to the Magic Weekend stage. In the penultimate game of this year's Super League extravaganza, The Wire take their age-old rivalry with neighbours Wigan Warriors to Tyneside after the last episode of it was played out 5,000 miles away in Las Vegas. Sam Burgess' men suffered a humiliating defeat that day and will be out for revenge, although they are hampered by the absences of several key players this afternoon. Will they leave Newcastle with a priceless two points to keep themselves in touch with those at the top of the table?
