    Off The Back Seat: Fan Edition – Brodie Kane

    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.

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!
