[@joeyclark3995]

MAD THANK YOU to Justin, Mase, & Lukey for the phenomenal LEVELS content you provided for us all this entire season. I loved every episode especially the NZ trip & all the Gimme Par content. I am really looking forward to watching all the new LEVELS next season. I wish you lads a fantastic off season & once again thank you for the AWESOME LEVELS content. UP DA LEVELS & UP DA WAHS

[@PLAYERUNOWNED]

so true! 100

[@julianalderson3938]

So many great kiwi players. So happy they put it together. Was only time. To the aussies much respect. Thanks

[@JRPete]

Glad to listen to Mace go on about tests. His been there and describes to us the emotion behind test footy, this by far is my favorite episode. Keep up the good content lads and I love the international idea for Eng vs NZ to play while origin is on.

[@frasernamana778]

I'm 💯 Harty kiwi supporter YTB awesome win but I think Australia are getting little bit disrespected like they been winning for ages I can't remember the last time we beat them now that's the consistent footy we need before we start taking surely

[@0xLimas]

Let’s go boys amazing year! Didn’t miss an episode! Really excited for next year! Hoping that every episode is 2 hours minimum tho 😉 could hear yous talk all day. Even if yous just sitting ya lounge using your phone for mics. Love it boys

[@saveit4last]

Thank you lads for providing top notch content this year looking foward to 2024 P.s I've let the mrs know about the black Friday sale and said a levels hat would be grouse chrissy present Cheers brothers ,levels and everyone involved 👍

[@dane1056]

Interesting to think that Reece Walsh, Kalyn Ponga and Jahrome Luai were all approached to play for the Kiwis as well due to their parents. Kiwis have always had a brutal forward pack but didn't quite have the backs to match. Our backs are now up with the elites of the game.

[@ir711]

[@pogleturner]

Awesome Year boys!!! its like you beat that year 30-0 :D love it brothers keep it up.

[@donscalliano]

Loved all the content this year! Cheers boys 🎉

[@hellagood67]

28:27 I follow Australia….league, union, cricket….any sport. Honestly though, New Zealand wanted that win so much more, and it showed. They deserved to win. 1:00:28 I commented that format for international matches, during an earlier show the boys did on here. Scope must have read my comment 🙈🙈🙈🙈. Mighty fine idea, in my humble opinion 🤭🤭🤭🤭 Great final podcast, guys. Enjoyed it. Have a much needed rest and see you in 2024.

[@crescentwing568]

Boys I was at the Game everyone was drunk because they thought kiwis were going to get a thrashing and stadium was half full 😂 but as the points started to pile on it turned into a party u had to at it was Gold the commentator was Awesome hyping up the Crowd and Titiro mai nga iwi was going off 😂🎉 30 Zip who would of thought

[@Ultimus007]

The ki was in the wi😂As a kiwis supporter that was highly entertaining seeing big Willy upset😂. U win some u lose some brandy onto the next😘😂. Love your work boys looking forward to what yous do in 2024✌🏾

[@darrynfortune7426]

Great year Fellas , have loved your insight and player perspective....bring on 2024 aka It's our Year 😅 Up the Wahs 🤩

[@EzoFLX879]

That idea is Gold!!🔥 Just pure footy being played🙌

[@michaeljones3134]

Hey Justin Horo n Wiremu Mason . Just a shout out to Willie in reference to how highly you speak of the late Steve Folkes . He was the leader of men and an amazing bloke. I have a little story of how fit he was his son was playing little league baseball for Bankstown Sports and would run from home Chipping Norton with his dog to Georges Hall not really puffed at all say hello to every one watch the game cheer his boy then run home . probably a 20km round trip before midday . His wife, also an amazing person, was such a lovely woman and would train our school in a fitness program every Wednesday. Also passed. Talk about life not being fair Keep up the podcast. Love your work, Mike Jones

[@Hemsworth7]

Great first year boys! Great poddy. Can’t wait for next year.

[@Kokochops76]

Interesting stat on Romey and Nathan. Absolutely loved every episode lads. Loved the honesty in your commentary week in week out. No agendas.

[@jimmy_read]

grateful for the pod all year fellas, theres not a better league pod out there ✌🏻

[@rekxr2960]

Big year next year lads taking over the game let’s go LEVELZ FKN UP 💪🏽 best of luck to lukey for the training for the fight also 🤝🏽

[@pat4711]

Just sitting here like Pablo Escobar standing in the pool like in narcos waiting for the footy season to kick off again 😑 Happy new year all you legends! Let’s hope for a phenomenal year

[@levelsnetwork]

back on Monday 15th!

[@julianalderson3938]

Yer n coach for kiwis yer get that confidence now. Thanx

[@jasonfox7233]

Chur boys, love the content

[@sushi8217]

Kiwis defence was the difference, it's that simple 💪🏽

[@PLAYERUNOWNED]

Nga mihi for a choice series of Levels Network videos team! top tier!

[@houstonnen1484]

Being a YKTR fan, it was difficult at the start seeing the boys breaking up and all. Not gonna lie I was skeptical at first but fuck good content is good content! Didn't miss an episode and cheers boys. Can't wait for more content next year. Much love from Port Moresby boys. Cheers

[@morbidclash]

You blokes come along way 👍

[@stevegracey79]

Talking about Canberra forwards watch out for smithies from Wigan next season. He will go very well in the NRL

[@alastairferris247]

The NRL will never have a break mid year for 5 weeks, nrl runs the game. but the end of year international footy is a great idea every year. Loved the show boys its wicked

[@countrytodd4614]

The best thing about a 5 week break mid year would be to refresh some bodies mid year. Imagine someone with one of those annoying, niggly injuries that can't heal because of the week on week grind, like Campbell Graham, and give them a 5 week block of no contact to heal up

[@kieraaanbreeew]

Scope looking fitter than his playing days lol keep up the great work lads

[@adrianpaull487]

great idea

[@Therealpatbateman]

Love the pathways idea Scope. That needs to be adopted.

[@joeyclark3995]

UP DA LEVELS, UP DA HOZ, & UP MASE. Kiwi Power💪👊 PUKANA 😝😝😝 Black & White Toa from Aotearoa #1

[@charliebrownOO7]

See once the kiwis get a few games in a row a year they just click and this is exactly what happened.

[@urbainlawrence1576]

Would love to hear your opinion on the Warriors making a play for Luai? Would be cool to see him play with SJ in 25’ then take over 26’

[@Shushhhbei]

legends

[@carlj7491]

Thanks guys with the timestamp captions, that was Samoa getting smacked by England on the weekend 👀😂

[@Tuilaione]

I reckon yous two should wear the Jerseys for the team you talking about... Imagine Kangaroos vs Kiwis... Seeing you wear the Jerseys and talking about both the teams. Best Rugby League Poddy

[@coleheketoa]

Cant wait to hear Mace speak about the Kangaroo jersey? Does it mean anything anymore to modern NRL players?

[@alpachinobaby]

Kiiwiiiis!!! 🏉

[@Abcdee8]

I think have double the touch judges; half the bunker

[@julianalderson3938]

Cheers to nrl cos the finals were great. N final was so close.

[@bartcolen]

Interesting proposal about the international matches during the year. But I think PNG should be playing with some of the bigger boys. I'd back them against Samoa or Tonga, for sure.

[@urbainlawrence1576]

Does Tom Dearden take Ben Hunts QLD spot in 24’?

[@user-rg2yi2it4t]

If RTS plays center all year and kills it and wins the dally M center of the year then he would have won the dally M fullback,wing,center plus the overall individual dally m medal

[@22DIGGZ]

Still buzzing over Willie saying Ali "the GREAT" could not have played Origin... 😬😬😬

[@ir711]

Kangaroos 1: Walsh 2: Cobbo 3 : Mitchell 4: Tabuai fidow 5: Ado carr 6: Munster 7:. Cleary 8: Haas 9: Grant 10: Tino 11: Liam Martin 12: Cam Murray 13: Yeo 14 : Ponga 15: Campbell Gillard 16: Carrigan 17: Cotter

[@edwinnapa8803]

Fantastic podcast, I'm a little late to the party only started watching a few months ago, always missing the bus. Wiremu, your not just a pretty face, your giving bookends a bad name being too articulate will have to suspend your front row license. Justin and Mase the perfect fit, what I do know your podcast is inciteful respectful and knowledgeable may it continue. Have a great festive season and stay safe, until next year Ka Kite.

[@ghettotech9617]

about the kiwi v kang i think james fisher harris set the press Apis with the very first hit up .nathen cleary has to be in aus team think he was having a hoiliday .

[@user-wv4xc1us6u]

Yep Fisher Harris is the dawggg

[@Abcdee8]

You guys should sell your merch at games

[@iksnaustralia6262]

Love it boys but talking RTS he’s come out and said he wants to play Centre in that roving type role. Also with him playing for NZ, Rogers already spoken that he wants to represent his birth Nation. People forget he was born in Samoa so no guarantee he goes back and plays for NZ

[@blakejagt2629]

Moment of the year had to be big twal 1st try

[@michaelsavas3521]

Don’t be silly I’m a kiwi, don’t forget about Cleary and lattrel

[@ir711]

I think we are in a new error where Kiwi's are so close to being even across the board ?

[@Abcdee8]

Lindsay Collins for dog of the year is my vote

[@sharksmaster344]

I'm not sure if Ponga can play for Aus. Due to him representing NZ.

[@sliccric2266]

Come on mate lol..he's never represented NZ lol

[@desmondesera9540]

Maori is the indigenous team Kiwis is the national team 2 completely different teams

[@gregrowlands6419]

Cheers for the content lads. Seems nrl only care about origin and not international footy. They preach growing the game yet they don’t care. With everyone moaning about their draws now why not play everyone once and then have international comps/tours at end of year. Still getting mid 20-30 games a year plus you can put origin in there somewhere.

[@dcaotearoa]

Dawgs of the year, bunch of Dawgs probably all the Dally M Team. Pretty good year, especially if your a Pahs, Wahs, Bronx and Knights fan. Dally Ms are too fkn long, Origin was emaculate. Up the Kiwis. All of us were surprised and it saved the economy 😂😂 pacific Nations cup is a great initiative but the players really need a rest. Alright for Aus with all that depth and the Refs. Good bad and the fkn ugly calls 😂 looking forward to 2024. Up the levels😎💯🔥

[@PattyBrahh]

England vs Samoa time stamp l lol

[@julianalderson3938]

If ya pack cant get ya close. Rekon its hard to look good.

[@sliccric2266]

I'm not quite prepared to say the kiwis are better than Aussie just yet. Cleary, Murray, Walsh and Latrell make a big difference to that team. Not that I think they would have beat the kiwis on that day because the kiwis were just possessed, probably would've been closer though..having said that, nz were also missing arguably the best player in the comp in SJ, their two first choice hookers, Harris who's a top 3 lock, and as good as Thompson ans Neame were, the big dog JWH would have been in that 17 somewhere. A whole host of top backrowers were injured like Niukore, Riki, Sorenson as well, all of whom had a better Season than Papali'i..damn, maybe the kiwis are just better lol 🤔

[@julianalderson3938]

Haha not a fluke.

[@julianalderson3938]

Sorry but not about a bad aussie side its a great kiwi side.

[@HiMom2024]

As a Kiwi it’s rare to get 2 wins in a row against the Kangaroos, my thought was okay we lose the first meeting but let’s figure something out and in the final go all guns blazing. Kiwis just kept the defensive line speed in the middle and exposed certain players that were playing out of position

[@craigwilson3170]

Mitch Kenny top 5 hooker? Mase is way off on this one. Grant, Api, Cook, Robson, JMK, Brailey, Egan all better hookers. Kenny bangs in defence and plays his role well in a Penrith side where a lot is based around Cleary and to a lesser extent Yeo, but if Kenny was in a different system - he’s not ousting any of those guys for their positions.

[@Palmwhat]

Can’t get behind he “dawg” chat boys doesn’t matter how you say everyone’s know what it really means in Australia let’s go back to mongrel #bringbackthemongrel

[@user-oo4zo8yy5u]

Luai is better than Cleary. Stats don't lie or manufacture GOAT stories. Cleary had a great GF and is a competent footballer though.
