As the 2026 NRL Finals kick off, GWM has confirmed it is the automotive brand behind the Warriors Bandwagon, that's been causing a frenzy with rugby league fans since it first hit Sydney’s streets earlier this week. 

Towed by a GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV, the roadworthy bandwagon has quietly rolled through the city - making surprise appearances outside the clubs and suburbs of the St George Illawarra Dragons, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, West Tigers and Parramatta Eels. 

Cameron George, One NZ Warriors CEO, said: “It takes a village to succeed in this competition, and our bandwagoners are a huge part of that journey. They bring energy, passion and belief wherever they are, helping grow our community and create an atmosphere that makes this club so special.

The Warriors Bandwagon has supports and players on board.

“We’re incredibly proud to have partners like GWM who understand the importance of bringing fans along for the ride and giving them new and creative ways to show their pride in our footy club.” 

The Bandwagon itself has been decked out with NZ Warriors branding, integrated lighting and sound system, all powered by GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology when parked. The Cannon Alpha PHEV also boasts up to 3.5 tonnes of towing capacity.

The Bandwagon will keep rolling wherever the Wahs play and Australians are invited to follow the GWM Bandwagon's journey across GWM's social channels throughout the finals series.
