Hey Scope + Mase. The discrepancies you notice in run metres between the NRL and Fox Sports is based around their definitions on what constitutes a "run". NRL treats any form of line engagement as a run, whereas Fox requires the run to either result in a tackle being made, or an attacking stat occurring. In particular, you will notice the biggest difference in run metres in halfbacks. For example, Jackson Hastings loves digging into the line and engaging the first defender, and therefore got 88 run metres off 18 runs on NRL, compared to 26 run metres off 4 runs on Fox sports. The other stat that you'll notice differences in would be around tackles as NRL counts 3rd man in. Hope that helps gents, love listening to your content all through the week, wish there was somehow even more!

Everything on tv is so squeaky clean and covered in disinfectant …boring. This show is real and I love every moment of it. Thank you😊

If you're contemplating going to one of the Levels Network events...just do it. You won't regret it! The Mrs and I flew over from Christchurch to be there at the Olympic Hotel, and we walked out grinning ear to ear winning a signed Greg Inglis jersey in the raffle. Was great to see Skip (who's looking trim AF btw) egg the boys on to sharing some details on some wild nights out. So good to see G.I do an event like this, honestly at times you could have heard a pin drop when he spoke. So much respect. Without doubt will be attending their events in future, hopefully something this side of the Tasman in future! Thanks again lads for a ripper night!

Critter is the most impressive overall leader I have seen in a loooooooooooooong time man. Pat Cummins-esque. I hope he stays fit and has a bloody long career. He, Bizza and Romey are so great for the game; professional, hard working, community minded and still fun young blokes. As an old fart, I find they really represent what league is; hard working fellas from no money being grateful for the chance they got and going hard. 🤘

UP DA WAHS🎉

Mase with the eddie murphy impression wasnt on todays bingo card 🤣🤣

1:36:20 - "He's the quickest half...him and Hastings..." ☠️😂 I've had to watch this weeks poddy across multiple days due to life... and it's truly the gift that keeps on giving haha. "You're on fire" ☠️😂

Generational Talent 1. Beetson 2.Meninga 3. G.I ( my g.o.a.t ) 4. Latrell You can’t stop the evolution of greatness 💯 I named my son (who’s now 5) after Latrell, never doubted him no matter what! Him and Mitchell Moses did what not many have achieved in Origin by coming in on Game 2 and dominating 💯🔥🔥🔥🩵🩵🩵

Big Willie’s favourite saying 😂 “Different ball game”

If no one's mentioned it, it was Jake Clifford who tackled Dane Laurie in the air yesterday in the endzone. Laurie and the Panthers got a penalty for it, Gus Gould disagreed with the call saying that wasn't the rule was implemented for because the tackle wasn't dangerous at all

Yous should do the south park dog the Bounty hunter intro for Dawgs of the week. Would be epic

Mase caught himself saying don't get it twisted, changed halfway to don't think for a second when talking about Lomax's mark 😂😂

I'd rather my kids hear the swear words from Mase while overhearing the poddy - than getting them elsewhere. My kids just go "naughty Mase" when they hear the F Bomb. As someone with kids that listens on the laptop with the volume turned up high - never change boys.

As being Kiwis, having a segment on the all blacks would be interesting and you would grow your fan base to a international level

Hey lads. Been a listener since you both left Antarctica during its meltdown (IYKYK) 🤣 a question I have for you both, do you think Penrith are the best premiership window closers in history. Bunnies, Parra & now the Broncs have all completely fallen off after losing the GF. It’s a question I’ve had on my mind since last year but now seeing the Broncos slide so hard, surely there is something in that? Thanks for the constant content lads, all us fans are super grateful even if some don’t say it.

Lomax this weekend against the wingers of the chooks this weekend. will be an unreal spectacle.

My favourite line from this episode “You can’t be a Glamor and be Head Coach” 😂😂

Do you guys think SJ could play a 14 role off the bench once he gets healthy? CHT and TMM are a better combination for the Warriors at the moment because they compliment each other’s game better. SJ had a better combination with Luke Metcalf last year when they were both healthy. I’ve seen coach Webby use CHT as utility/lock role earlier in the year so interested to me if SJ could be an impact player off the bench. I love SJ so I’m interested how coach will use him moving forward ‘IF’ TMM and CHT string a few more wins before he returns. Love the pod guys 🤙🏼

everyone copping the strays today 🤣 but more importantly 2:05:44 it’s back

L1 from day 1 here, love your work fellas. There’s been a tonne of people stacking on Nicho lately for the clutch moments but I’ve been watching lately wondering if our game plan is getting easier to prep for. Teams pretty much know what to expect from us and it seems to take a fair bit of time off our halves. What do you guys think the Sharks should do to level up? Or, do we just need to hold steady and ice those key moments?

the Dawg of podcasts

Kiwi players in Origin, imagine throwing prime Taumalolo into that 8 in a row Qld team.

Big Mase reminds me of the real OG shaquille o’neal. You often forget about many teams shaq played for, just like mase. You remember shaq for his legendary status at Orlando, lakers and Heat, and everything else is a blur after that. Shaq openly admits this is due to his training regime and that he just didn’t care to train like the others. What is the reason Willie jumped from team to team in the later years of his career? All respect of course, both larger than life characters and dominating the media scene in life after basketball/footy. Massive dogs fan btw

Remember Mitchell Moses had the same questions on him as Nicho when it came to pressure situations. I remember him missing some crucial conversions around that time too. Just gotta ride it out and keep trying hard.

Agree with you boys re Hynes having too much happen to him all in a short period - in the beginning positive and now negative. Back in 2020 when he warmed the bench for Storm the likes of Smith, Slater etc talked him up so much in the media and even pushed his name forward the following year for origin selection! Even back then I thought was super premature and in a conspiratorial way, all I could’ve asked for as a Queensland fan given how many games he’s now won for us as a Blue 😅

Not gonna lie, the red bsc energy drink is mint, one of the few sugar free energy drinks that doesn’t taste like battery acid.

Love your work boys. You guy's are my dog of the week.

Im pretty sure Kurt Capewell playing centre, and being dominant, was the 2020 series... pretty sure that was the one where he was marking up against Clint Gutherson in the centres

Geez the noise that came outta Willies beak when he blows it sounded like a viking horn 😂

Can we get your thoughts on old mate Paul Kent getting sacked ? I’m personally all for it given the amount of slack he’s given nrl players over the years

Val got cooked during the 30-0 against mulitalo , my favourite part of this was mase going “unlucky uce”🤣

Is the bro still running a hanky haha

Origin to Wembley would be sick!!

The Wahs will go to the next level when we and activate the right. Niukore is a killer attack and D. Then you got RTS and DWZ. That's should be one of the best edges in the comp, especially if you get Charnze wrapping in or sniffing out offloads. But, RTS needs some early ball off good go-forward, and just let him cook, it's an odds game, the more chances he get's the more stuff is gonna happen.

34:11 Question do you boys think it should go back to having a rotation of 2 games in each state like they use to do it I understand expanding the game but it’s origin and for these 2 states

8:32 how good

Hey Scope + mase Do you think the Bronx can make the top 8 and let alone the top 4 or is this year scrapped for them Love your work boys keep it up

The OG looking like John West ❤

2020 origin capewell smoked gutho led to brimmos 1st try

Nah fuck all 🍞 kicking back with the levels boys 🍞

Chilling at the airport listening to you falas che

Interesting coincidence with 2005 origin to now. Kimmorley dropped after game one (a sharks player) and replaced with a half from a team coming last in Johns. This year, Hynes (sharks) dropped and replaced with a half from a team coming last.

This is peak Mase love it!! 🤣 💪🏾

Hey lads just a little stat I’ve realised. The dargons (leaving out the manly game) in the last 3 games (Penrith, tigers, dolphins) are 90-0 in the second halves. What the fuck is flanno saying to the lads at half time?

How would you boys feel about a push for jerseys 3, 4, 11 and 12 to be side specific? Feel like it would help casual fans like myself understand combinations and match-ups. Also, do props have a set side in defense? If not, how would you incorporate this idea for jerseys 8 & 10?

With the return of Ponga for the knights and walsh’s lack of game since Origin 1 does Billy consider a swap or Kayln in the 14 Jersey.

Kurt capewell played centre 2/3 games in 2020 and second row the other game. Starting all 3 games, qld won the series. He then played second row every game in 2022 and started, qld won the series, i wouldnt say he was a swing man/ bench player. He also started every single game in the 2021 series which they lost. 9 of his 10 origins he started. His 10th being most recent coming off the bench last week.

38:50 “dogs remain undefeated in 2024 Mase” aye? lol

What a year... Way different from last year...

What’s your opinion on the Roosters & Titans bringing in their new recruits? Probably won’t play first grade this season, but if they do … I remember the Wahs being turned down RTS returning early with one of the reasons being salary cap. Would’ve been unreal last year! Different kettle of fish with his experience yes, but still confusing? NSW 13+

Boysies.. you talk about wighton’s form recently since going into the 6. Think there’s any correlation with Ben Hornby, a former half, being his immediate head coach now?

1:00:50 te maire and sj were gun last year before te maire got injured and mikiafu stepped in

Hey lads, question about manly and having turbo back. Do you think they wasted time playing lehi at fullback just move koula there?? I think playing lehi at wing and talau to centre with koula at fullback for the last 6 weeks would have been better. Love to hear your thoughts being Manly greats👏🏽

Another Rabbitohs win coming to a field near you ,. 😏.. Has The Fox retired or.... injury? Did someone leave the AC on or something 😆.. Lads look abit nippy.

Would love to ask also a bit of a hustling thought here for the levels boys $$$$ any chance when use do the next event use could plug a few cameras in and do it live for a small fee to watch aswell .would love to see and hear the yarns with you and guests live ? NSW 13+ baby

example for warriors, is Jones used to run the team, running 6, whos in the coaches ? jones ....

8 1/2 after a 3 day bender 😂😂

With the WAHS halves problem what are your thoughts on this? I think sj was always kicking and it has become predictable where as with CHT and Tmm you’ve got a good left footed kicker on the left side and good right footed kicker on the right side and they are sharing the kicking around a lot more with creates a little more of a problem for the defending team markers can rush and fullback can sort of sit on sj side where now they have a little more indecision

G'day boys, Question for the next episode. With the announcement of Kayln coming back this week for the Knights do you think this is an audition for game 3?

Hey gents, there was news about the NRL discussing the 18th team. Is there any update on who is the front runners now?

Can anyone Sydney locals give some recommendations on good pubs/spots to goto before game around Allianz. Coming down from Brisbane this weekend and going to Roosters vs Dargons game. Keen to get amongst it before and after game.

Hastings so fast 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Could my Eels be the best performed team to get the wooden spoon? They have had some good games, but they just can't close them. It's that old saying 'they've forgotten how to win'. We should have 'next year' written across the top of the logo.

Hey willie can you talk about t2 on oxford st back in the day

1:44:32 Farrrk hahaahaha ☠️😂

good poddy lads!

Hughes for Queensland they wouldn’t lose a series ever bloke is top 3 currently and he isn’t 2 or 3

Quick question boys with how good the roosters and Melbourne are playing why do all the news outlets keep saying Penrith are that team? Even the bulldogs have looked better this year

Chur to the brothers love the vids Quick question for both of you in terms of SJ/TMM combo against TMM/CHT would you consider it similar to Sam Walker and Luke Keary? where together it can work but it’s a real push and pull combo

We in New Zealand have been wanting to host an Origin in New Zealand for Many years, boys will it be like what biggie said, it was all a dream😁 or could it happen, what do you think ?

Gagai in Cobbo bench

A couple of Marcus's.😀

Lock it in Eddie 😂

Hey lads, why did mase not come back to get to 300 games??

Everyone sleeping on franky molo hardest hitter in the dragons atm 🔥🔥

Everyone talks about Radley should of played origin, but who are you dropping to Put him in for, cause Yeo Murray Martin are all definitely origin players. Years gone back it was Tariq Sims and Frizelll on the bench or in second row and did a great job for the state. So i don't get who you drop for him

Re Latrell - This recent obsession with club form from both states seems like self harm. If we only ever picked on club form players like Nate Myles would have never got a game. Players that have got the job done at the highest level should just be picked regardless of club form. Latrell should be the 1st picked if fit. For QLD leaving David Fifita out based on club form was the wrong decision. Bring on Game 3.

Question boys do you think Brian too was under appreciated during origin ?

30:50 only person who can compete against Trell on the right is Cobbo, push Holmes to the wing against To'o because lets be honest, Holmes is scared of Trell lol

Did you guys watch the female origin game 3? Did yous enjoy it? Was very proud of my Queensland girls after not a very good Game 1 and just pulling in for Game 2 👏

If Nicho’s confidence wasn’t shattered at the moment it would’ve been the Bulldogs first loss at home. 3 tries to 2, if he only got one of those sideline conversions it would’ve been a different ballgame and would have never gotten to that field goal situation. Missing a sitter from right in front shows that he has mental scars at the moment and footy media personalities and keyboard warriors constantly hammering him doesn’t help his cause, plus Toby Rudolf had a complete blunder of a game and most of the Dogs points came friom his mistakes, getting in the way of Trindall for Kikau to score then giving away a silly penalty when Kennedy had the ball covered with 5 mins to go, but because he isn’t a star player or face of the game like Nicho’s calibre it gets swept under the rug. It feels like the world is on his shoulders and everyone is watching and judging his every move like he’s the only player in the game, Latrell cops it too and it impacts him mentally and he loses his confidence and now it’s Nicho’s turn, people need to ease off the bloke a bit and let him breathe a little. The positive thing for the Sharks is from here on out they have very winnable games which could help him recover and get his confidence back.

When Joey rates someone it's usually means something. I was happy for will pryce. With these corrupt refs what id if I was captain is walk of the field and bring the the team with me. If employees can strike against the employers players should do the same with dodgy officiating. Jobs r on the line

Reports of Daniel suluka Fifita

Tom of boot polish hair dye fame

Up the FKn cowboys 🔥🔥🔥

Simon Heath is quicker than Jackson Hastings. #facts

#freelukifromthebooth

lukey needs a seat at the table

Kiks hand modelling career is fudged!! haha shot Big Mace

If roosters make the GF I don’t wanna be playing them (Storm) ahhhhhh

Latrell Mitchell retirement, Willy talk to us about media spotlight especially for those listeners who don't know but your career had many parallels to latrell. Before internet everyone read the paper and those papers absolutely demonised and hounded you, I feel as if you were one of if not the first player constantly scrutinized in the media. How would you navigate or give advice to trell or players receiving the constant attention and attacks on their personality and career.

Hoz Parra have worst defence in league. How much of that do you just put down to attitude

Like this comment everytime Mase says ‘he’s that dude’

Whoa Mace, Critta wanted to leave that place? WTF? Unsubbed mate.

Willie is not welcome in Newy after his Gamble nonsense last year

Skip apologies for the long message but pre the souths parra game a few weeks back you mentioned the bunnies could go on a run for the 8 so I had a responsible lick on them at 61’s, we’ve come into 5.50’s and play parra again this Thursday. I was quietly confident under the impression that tatola/graham (in particular) and munro/tass/shaq mit were to come back into the side/squad soon. Theres been chat that those first 2 might not be back at all, does that come down to an approach from guys in charge of overseeing rehab or S+c from club to club or does it just depend on how the player recovers on a case to case basis? Are we still a sniff to make the 8 if they don’t return this year? 2 different questions but would love your thoughts! L1 from day 1 🩵
