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?

Head into your local GWM dealership and discover the GWM Range.
