The Warriors ended the season with one final heartbreak, throwing away a commanding lead to lose the last game of 2022.

This result left them second from bottom and marked the conclusion of one of the worst seasons in the team’s history. 

Despite the stormy season, more than 20,000 fans still crammed in Mt Smart Stadium to watch the final match, and you can rest assured they’ll be back for more next season.

So why does this team struggle so much to live up to its potential, and why do fans still bother turning up to support them?   

Today, NZ Herald sports journalist Michael Burgess joins Damien to discuss the woeful track record of one of New Zealand’s most well-supported teams.
