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."

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.

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?
