In this episode hosted by Matt Nable, he reflects on the turning points that defined his journey, from being forced out of his beloved Penrith Panthers to finding his purpose and edge at Cronulla. Wade talks about leadership, endurance and what genuine toughness looks like beyond the scoreboard. He also shares what stepping away from the game taught him about balance, family and identity.
