TWL 2026: Ep 52 - Taste the Pain
We were hoping we'd be previewing a prelim, but instead Lance Hohaia is back again on TWL to unpack a straight-sets finals exit - and the Warriors and Kiwis legend helps us find some balance and perspective, as well as sitting in the pain of defeat.
There's some great insights here on a season of immense achievement, how it unravelled for the Wahs in September, and their prospects of taking the next step in 2027.
A massive thanks to the Huntly Hurricane for being a This Warriors Life regular during the back-end of a memorable season.
