  • Off The Back Seat: Fan Edition – Dai Henwood 24.06.2026 19min
    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. Save at the Pump and Go with More across the GWM Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Range.

  • Off The Back Seat: Fan Edition – Mike McRoberts 10.06.2026 27min
    In this episode of Off the Back Seat: Fan Edition, Manaia Stewart and Ben Hurley pick up Mike McRoberts in the back of a brand-new GWM Cannon Alpha Plug-in Hybrid! You think you're a diehard? 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.
