In this episode of Off the Back Seat: Fan Edition, Manaia Stewart and Ben Hurley pick up Charlie Pomee in the back of a brand-new GWM Cannon Alpha Plug-in Hybrid! What if one decision changed everything? For Charlie Pomee, it might have been picking a microphone over a football. The singer, FLAVA host and proud South Aucklander was once in the Warriors' development system, dreaming of pulling on the jersey, until injuries steered him toward music and a career as one of the country's most recognisable entertainers. It started, like so many of these do, at the 1995 debut against the Broncos, his dad, the fireworks, the confetti, Dean Bell leading the team out. But Charlie's story has a twist the others don't: he grew up playing alongside childhood mate Manu Vatuvei, both dreaming of the NRL. One became a club legend. The other still wonders, just occasionally, what might have been. Plus the beauties: getting mistaken for a current Warrior by Wendell Sailor at Magic Round, the family game-day ritual of chips, dip and emotional preparation, and the deeply moving story of how former Warriors players helped change his life with a school scholarship. Football, family, friendship and South Auckland, the perfect way to close the series Save at the Pump and Go with More across the GWM Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Range.

In this episode of Off the Back Seat: Fan Edition, Manaia Stewart and Ben Hurley pick up D'Arcy Waldegrave in the back of a brand-new GWM Cannon Alpha Plug-in Hybrid! Every Warriors fan has a breaking point. Thirty years of near misses, false dawns and heartbreak should have found D'Arcy Waldegrave's by now. It hasn't. The veteran broadcaster keeps coming back, and this episode is a masterclass in exactly why. It starts where a lot of them do, watching the debut game over a few DB Bitters with mates in Christchurch, and learning the lesson every Warriors fan eventually learns: they can look brilliant and still lose. From there the yarns roll: the time he accidentally dislocated a Warriors staffer's shoulder in a media touch game, the prized Stacey Jones-worn jersey he values above all others, and the vintage jersey collection that's tipped into full obsession. Underneath it, the good stuff: why these losses hit New Zealanders harder than anyone else's, why Mount Smart feels like a national gathering, and the simplest, truest reason he's never walked away: "I don't follow and support the Warriors because they're winners. I follow and support the Warriors because they're my team." Head into your local GWM dealership and discover the GWM Range.

In this episode of Off the Back Seat: Fan Edition, Manaia Stewart and Ben Hurley pick up Matt Gibb in the back of a brand-new GWM Cannon Alpha Plug-in Hybrid! Matt Gibb once went on Celebrity Treasure Island and found himself living alongside former Warriors captain Steve Price. For a lifelong Wahs fan, that's the dream, and Gibb made it count, peppering the camp's unofficial "dad" with late-night questions about his career. The best of them: Price, an Australian selected to tour England with a New Zealand side, had to learn the haka on the flight over, rehearsing it in an economy seat, before performing it in front of the Queen. Gibb has not recovered. The former TVNZ Breakfast host and Country House Hunters star brings a few more beauties: the weekends that live or die on the Warriors result, his career as a highly vocal armchair coach who openly admits he knows next to nothing about the tactics, and the time he dressed as The Ultimate Warrior for a TV gag, rocked up to a press day at Warriors HQ, and got the cold shoulder from players and management alike. Equal parts nostalgia, comedy, and full-blown Warriors obsession. Head into your local GWM dealership and discover the GWM Range.

In this episode of Off the Back Seat: Fan Edition, Manaia Stewart and Ben Hurley pick up Clint Roberts in the back of a brand-new GWM Cannon Alpha Plug-in Hybrid! If you've ever blamed a Warriors loss on your socks, or refused to go to a game because you were convinced you'd jinx them, Clint Roberts is your guy. The ZM Drive host is a Wahs tragic of the highest order, and it started on day one — watching the 1995 inaugural match and realising what it meant when the tough, league-mad adult next to him was moved to tears. The boys get the full spectrum: the heartbreak, the irrational optimism, the superstitions, and why Shaun Johnson's fairytale return remains one of the most satisfying stories in New Zealand sport. Plus the state of Mount Smart's famous scaffolding, the strange social order of high-school sprinting, and the sacred status of Stacey Jones at a suburban bowling club. And underneath the laughs, a real question: the old jokes about blind faith and perpetual disappointment don't quite land anymore. Are Warriors fans finally allowed to believe?

In this episode of Off the Back Seat: Fan Edition, Manaia Stewart and Ben Hurley pick up Peter Urlich in the back of a brand-new GWM Cannon Alpha Plug-in Hybrid! Thousands of people sing it after every home win. Peter Urlich wrote it in about half an hour. When former Warriors CEO Mick Watson told him the club needed its own victory chant, Urlich went home, sat down, knocked out the lyrics and presented them the next day. Watson's verdict: "That's it." What started as a song for the sheds escaped into the stands and became one of the most recognisable traditions in New Zealand sport. Urlich still gets goosebumps hearing it. But he was there long before that, so desperate to attend the Warriors' inaugural match that he skipped an important dinner party with his then-partner, at some cost to the relationship ledger. The boys get the lot: the 2011 grand final, the lean years when Mount Smart crowds were counted in thousands rather than tens of thousands, and why supporting this club has never been about trophies. It's about a community that runs from Kaitaia to Bluff. Head into your local GWM dealership and discover the GWM Range.

In this episode of Off the Back Seat: Fan Edition, Manaia Stewart and Ben Hurley pick up Brodie Kane in the back of a brand-new GWM Cannon Alpha Plug-in Hybrid! Brodie Kane's Warriors fandom started the way a lot of great ones do: sitting next to her dad in the 90s, watching Winfield Cup games taped over the top of her Michael Jackson concerts. "Sometimes I had no choice." Accidental league indoctrination, and three decades of rollercoaster ever since. The boys get the full ride: the pride of the club's first grand final ("we got smoked, but it didn't matter"), the losses that produce "tears and a remote throw all in the same game," and the now-infamous Warriors trip to Vegas, five days memorable for everything except the footy. "The Warriors didn't turn up… but everyone else in New Zealand did." And underneath the chaos, a genuinely heartfelt case for why Warriors fans are the salt of the earth, optimistic, resilient, and just maybe about to be rewarded. Because it might, finally, be our year. Save at the Pump and Go with More across the GWM Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Range.

In this episode of Off the Back Seat: Fan Edition, Manaia Stewart and Ben Hurley pick up Dai Henwood in the back of a brand-new GWM Cannon Alpha Plug-in Hybrid! McRoberts watched from a war zone. Dai Henwood scheduled surgery around the draw. The comedian pulls back the curtain on a level of Warriors devotion that's somewhere between elite and a cry for help — three grades plus every other NRL game, upwards of 30 hours a week, rewatching matches "like the Academy watching a film." And then there's the ketamine. Fresh out of surgery, Dai demanded his iPad, briefly convinced the game was being projected in 3D on his own stomach. A nurse set him straight. Plus: the "unreasonable" Sydney trips, the Broncos fan who tapped him on the shoulder one too many times, why Warriors fans find joy in the small wins, and a genuine case that the club has never been in a stronger position.

Mike McRoberts has watched the Warriors in a flak jacket. The legendary newsreader has spent three decades following the Wahs from wherever the news took him, including sneaking VPN streams at 3am from active conflict zones, just to watch them lose to the Dragons. Worth it? Apparently, yes. Mike takes the boys back to where it all started... March 10, 1995, fresh off the plane from Christchurch, through to leading Pukana Cam in front of a stunned Suncorp crowd at Magic Round, and the player-issued jersey so tight it nearly required surgery to remove. (He's still wearing it. It's a winning shirt.) Plus: why this Webster-era squad is the best he's ever seen, the rise of "Up the Wahs", and why the Warriors finally feel like New Zealand's team.

Step back to July 7, 1985, Carlaw Park... a mud-soaked cauldron where New Zealand’s rugby league pride clashed with the might of the Australians. In the latest episode of Kärcher’s “Blast from the Past,” hosts ACC Head G Lane, Dai Henwood, and Dylan Cleaver relive a series that was anything but a dead rubber. The Aussies may have led the series 2-0, but the third test became a defining moment in the Trans-Tasman rivalry. The buildup was electric: fierce clashes, controversial coaching decisions, and a notorious brawl between Kevin Tamati and Graham Dowling set the tone. The Kiwis, still reeling from a heartbreaking loss in the second test, found themselves rejuvenated by a surprise show of public support orchestrated by coach Graham Lowe. Meanwhile, the Australian camp was in turmoil, divided by state rivalries and coach Terry Fearnley’s contentious team selections. What unfolded was historic. The Kiwis dominated, shutting out the Kangaroos 18-0, the first time Australia had been held scoreless since the 1950s. Heroes emerged, legends were born, and the victory marked a turning point for New Zealand players seeking opportunities across the Tasman. Find out how a walk down Queen Street changed the Kiwis’ fate... Blast From The Past is brought to you by the legends at Kärcher!
