Matt, Mike and Gareth are back to bring you another episode of "The Wire Untangled" - the Warrington Guardian's dedicated Warrington Wolves podcast.We pick the bones of Warrington's bruising defeat in Perpignan last time out, with the 38-22 loss to Catalans Dragons looking like costing them a bit more than just two points.To that end, changes appear likely for Wigan Warriors' visit to The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Friday - but could there be tactical switches as well as enforced ones in order to boost the chances of a first home win over the neighbours in nearly five years?
