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

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.
