I don't care what anyone says. After watching this pod, I've concluded that there isn't a better thinker in the world when it comes to rugby league than Phil Gould. Brilliant episode fellas!
I could listen to this guy talk about rugby league all day . And not just rugby league I could listen to this guy talk about life. Amazing knowledge on rugby league and the mindset you need to be a player. Just listening to the pod made me feel like a better person after it 😂
Gus is so insightful and it’s great to hear how he thinks about league and life in general . Willy mason seems to think highly of the goat and you can see that it’s both ways. I would like to see one day Gus being the head of the rugby league body .
This is one of the best interviews / pods i have seen . Freaking awesome Gus and props to Justin and Willie not interrupting like you see on so many other pods with hosts that never shut up. Very insightful .
What an episode lads driving to Pathways training with 4 16 year old boys sitting in the car. One hour drive each way so we listened to almost the whole thing. I tell ya they killed it at training and couldn't stop talking about trainings over the xmas break. Thank you uncle Gus you answered alot of questions for the Maori poly boys
Smartest outspoken man in rugby league media. Some of the top coaches are probably smarter, Gus mainly has a heap of experience and is great at retaining knowledge.
I'm a born and raised former rugby player and fan, but this interview gentlemen is now my favourite passing Sterlo's interview with Ian Roberts, my favourite player. Wow! What a masterclass interview that has more gems than the Crown of England! Bravo!
This is one of the best pods yet, boys. Being able to listen to such a knowledgeable mind in the game is so rewarding. Hate him or love him, Gus is one of the greats in this sport. What he has achieved and what he is doing for the sport is unreal.
Gents, this was such an insightful discussion. Thank you for closing off 2024 in this way. I really appreciated hearing from Gus - a future Immortal. Please use this as a spring board into 2025. Don’t change the episode structure but having 1 or 2 of these style of episodes per year will only build and extend the reach you already have. Merry Xmas.
Been listening since day one from Halifax/England and this was so good..Gus is the Goat of Knowledge of rugby league. Am 45 and grew up listening to this bloke,and rabbits commenting. I Will always listen to this podcast as you guys are the best but this won’t be beaten guys. Can’t wait for the new season with LEVELS….so good this..
Absolutely loved this one fellas as a doggies fan makes me hopeful for the future of the club. As a rugby league fan Phil (gus aka dog father) Gould showed in this interview that for everyone at home their is people at the top of our game who don't just embody the past but are looking forward to the future in small things like asking where will you be in 5 years time, making sure their is a future for hopeful nrl players to see a path if not in rugby league.
Buzz has probably watched this episode 20 times already. He's furious everyone will realise hes kaka. Gus has been in the trenches, 50 years of hands on experience in shaping our game.
What a podcast! The insight Gus provides is next to none, very few know the game like he does. What a episode to close out the year, congrats on all you boys have achieved this year. 2025 will be HUUGGGEEE!
Loved it. Had a feel of the Joe Rogan's about this long-form conversation. In depth and really getting to know the person - as a person. Thank you all.
I have a lot more respect for Gus now after watching this video. What a legend and what long servant of this game. Now I know why he's respected around the game.
One of your best podcast. Gus’s wealth of knowledge of the game but also Love is why I’m becoming more and more investing in nrl. Cant wait until 2025 season kicks off! Keep up the poddy!
This should be compulsory viewing for not only followers of league but parents, players, coaches, management in all sports. A lot of insightful knowledge passed on with an obvious love of the game and a passion for people being the best they can be. Great work team...
This is an All Star cast for an All Star podcast lads ,been waiting for this last podie of the year all the best in the off season and see ya back for the vegas round podcast surely 🙌
Mr NRL , there are plenty of great coaches . There aren't many Phil Gus Gould anywhere. His knowledgeable and ability to communicate RL . His passion for the whole system is what makes him . IMHO the best There is . He deserves a NRL job , because his vision of RL is something that can't be lost .
They all are, some are just doing it much, much better than others, Ect Penrith, Storm, Sharks, dogs and Souths will now Benny is back, other clubs like the TigPies are doing it, just very very poorly.
Great interview. I dont understand how some people criticise Gus Gould, he has to be the smartest/most experienced and considered person in league. Literally lifted several clubs back to top levels through bigger picture thinking, and wants Rugby League to thrive locally and globally.
Great Podcast, Why cannot Phil be like this on TV. This first time i really enjoyed listening to him today, I could sit down and listen to him for hours, when he's on nine I cannot stand him. He plays the Fool on nine like Fatty but it just doesn't work with Gus. Clearly, his smart, today he was genuine and not playing a character of himself. Great interview boys Loved it, the Level Boys are hands done the best League Podcast available. I learned so much from you Both.
Loved the last poddy for the year boys. Definitely went out with a bang! Awesome to hear Gus dive deep down into the Rugby League waters giving us an insight of what goes on behind the scenes in a casual setting with you boys rather than on mainstream media. Would love to see each NRL Club partner up with a Super League club and have a buddy system eg Penrith - Wakefield. Could send over boys in the top 30 to have a run with the partnered team and vice versa. Similar to Joey in 05 when he linked up with Warrington Wolves. Also Scope can you stop trying to claim Isaiya Katoa for the Kiwi’s. We’ve finally found ourselves a playmaker and his the future of Tongan Rugby League.
Still remember when a lot of people who didn’t know you were crying because you left the other show and went out on your own. A lot of negative comments from derricks all over doing something what was best for yourself. Now Look at you. Massive poddy well done boys
The God Father! No one has done more in the game than Gus. But many out there think they know more than Gus & they haven't done a fraction of what he's done. Fu×kn know it all's!!!
Hi guys love the poddy L1 from day 1. One of my best mates is getting married late next year and is a big fan as well as a mad golfer. Wondering if there is a chance of any civilians getting a call up for next years Levels golf day would be and awesome wedding gift to be able to buy a ticket for him. Cheers boys
Thank fark for Sensei Gus! The best mind in the game by a country mile, and most importantly, I think he may have just saved international football from being relegated to a sad footnote in favour of origin. I love origin, and i love the passion/intensity, but i miss the days when it was a true trial for a kangaroo spot. My best RL memories are of the great international tours/teams of the 80s, 90s and the clashes of the early 2000s. Gus reckons the future of RL is in the international game. Imagine internationals played with the same origin "hate". Fark yeah, bring that shit on.
I may not always 100% agree with Gus, but i absolutely respect his opinion given he has played, coached and managed at the highst level. Whereas hearing Buzz talk thinking he knows the game is a joke.
The coaches taking over game management is why Nathan Cleary hasnt consistently dominated Origin yet. He's dominated club level because the Panthers coaching has allowed it - look out if Ivan ever gets the Origin gig in the near future!
Whenever someone says “I don’t like Phil Gould”… what they’re telling me is they don’t really know rugby league.
That’s ridiculous
@@Bazar988it’s as true as it comes you pothole
@@Bazar988it isn't.
Dumb comment ever read Ivan's book. I guess not
That's exactly right mate. I'm a true blue north Queenslander, bit can listen to intelligent footy brains like gus for hours 👌
legit the only gust the tripl og dont talk over 😂
Lol instead of the guest its the Gust!! I know its a typo but it suits the occasion. Or was it a pun instead of a typo?
@DaMuss-e2w bit of colum a colum b? 😂
Thank god haha. Nah was a great interview.
Gus is a proper G 👌
Walks in a room and demands respect not many men have that💯
I love it that he has a sense of humor.
Commands respect.. Demand would be like it’s a request but to command is taken as a given (which I assume that’s what you mean).
@@DaMuss-e2w, he & Rabbits arguing like an old married couple on the rule book is comedy gold.
I don't care what anyone says. After watching this pod, I've concluded that there isn't a better thinker in the world when it comes to rugby league than Phil Gould. Brilliant episode fellas!
This has to be the best podcast you've had by far.
💯
👍
Easily
Quite boring actually.
Agree - they both upped their interview game for this one
I could listen to this guy talk about rugby league all day . And not just rugby league I could listen to this guy talk about life. Amazing knowledge on rugby league and the mindset you need to be a player. Just listening to the pod made me feel like a better person after it 😂
Gus is so insightful and it’s great to hear how he thinks about league and life in general . Willy mason seems to think highly of the goat and you can see that it’s both ways. I would like to see one day Gus being the head of the rugby league body .
The boys going out with a bang here ‼️
Be so much better listening to you blokes yarn with him than Matt Thompson 😂
One day Scope will be sitting where Gus is sitting chatting to the next generation footy analysts. Love your work gents
Spare me don’t ever compare scope Gus not even remotely close
This is one of the best interviews / pods i have seen . Freaking awesome Gus and props to Justin and Willie not interrupting like you see on so many other pods with hosts that never shut up. Very insightful .

Great work getting Gus, boys. Could listen to him for hours. Up the Wahs!!

I tell ya they killed it at training and couldn't stop talking about trainings over the xmas break. Thank you uncle Gus you answered alot of questions for the Maori poly boys
Gus is truly one of a kind. What an asset he has been to the game. Let’s hope we have many more years with him involved.
Uncle Gus knowledge and detail on the game is next level, love hearing him talk about league always good listen 🔥
Gus is the man. Shot Matua
Smartest guy in league is Gus
You are correct mate
Bro im young and i even think this 😂 its facts
Bruh 😂
Smartest outspoken man in rugby league media.
Some of the top coaches are probably smarter, Gus mainly has a heap of experience and is great at retaining knowledge.
Levels going out with a bang boys can't wait for 2025.
I'm a born and raised former rugby player and fan, but this interview gentlemen is now my favourite passing Sterlo's interview with Ian Roberts, my favourite player. Wow! What a masterclass interview that has more gems than the Crown of England! Bravo!

Bra no way the boys got Gus on 😂😂 how good
You guys deserve this level of reignition. Dawgs all the time
Gus 🐐 great insight! awesome chat
I hope the bulldogs are documenting this rise for a Doco series after they win a comp :D Would be an amazing story.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gents, this was such an insightful discussion. Thank you for closing off 2024 in this way. I really appreciated hearing from Gus - a future Immortal.

Thanks for a great year boys, excellent final guest for 2024!
When it comes to Footy, this is Gus' World and we're all just living in it 🌏
Been listening since day one from Halifax/England and this was so good..Gus is the Goat of Knowledge of rugby league. Am 45 and grew up listening to this bloke,and rabbits commenting.
I Will always listen to this podcast as you guys are the best but this won’t be beaten guys.
Can’t wait for the new season with LEVELS….so good this..
Fark!!! What a awesome Episode boys. Brilliant. Awesome to hear the OG and Scope interviewing and respecting the OOG Gus!!!
How the hell did Gus remember Roosters beating Manly 10-0 in a game almost 30 years ago lol I can barely remember when I put my keys
They have notes in front of them.
@ no mate. His memory is just that good you don’t have a clue. Jog on ya flog
Hey Justin and Mace, thanks for a great year of poddys, have a happy and safe off season , till next year.
Cheers

Absolute Wizard of Getting results from any club and an asset to NRL Phil Gould 👏
Wow. Quietest I’ve seen Mason. Letting the goat talk. Bring Gus on more often 😂😂
What an episode! Something special about a legend like Gus that you just really go silent and take it all in.
I could listen to you 3 all day. What a last pod of the year ❤
What a podcast! The insight Gus provides is next to none, very few know the game like he does. What a episode to close out the year, congrats on all you boys have achieved this year. 2025 will be HUUGGGEEE!
The GOAT! Perfect last episode boys.

Loved it. Had a feel of the Joe Rogan's about this long-form conversation. In depth and really getting to know the person - as a person. Thank you all.
Gus is the type of guest where you can just sit and listen all day🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐
I have a lot more respect for Gus now after watching this video. What a legend and what long servant of this game. Now I know why he's respected around the game.
Gus is the absolute king, so happy he's back with the Bulldogs
My only complaint about this interview is that it wasnt long enough. Wealth of knowledge from Gus here. Great poddy boys from PNG!
One of your best podcast. Gus’s wealth of knowledge of the game but also Love is why I’m becoming more and more investing in nrl. Cant wait until 2025 season kicks off!
Keep up the poddy!
This should be compulsory viewing for not only followers of league but parents, players, coaches, management in all sports. A lot of insightful knowledge passed on with an obvious love of the game and a passion for people being the best they can be.
Great work team...
Hands down best Nrl podcast, youse deserve a spot on fox

Bets of your interviews guys - can feel the respect you both have for him.
The #1 best seller of rugby league in the history of the best game in the World. Always be #1 in my book.
Wonderful episode. One of the great minds we have in rugby league.
What a legend of the game!
Huge last episode of the year boys. Unreal to hear the depth and the mindset of the OOOOG 🙌
This is an All Star cast for an All Star podcast lads ,been waiting for this last podie of the year all the best in the off season and see ya back for the vegas round podcast surely 🙌
Mr NRL , there are plenty of great coaches . There aren't many Phil Gus Gould anywhere.
His knowledgeable and ability to communicate RL .
His passion for the whole system is what makes him . IMHO the best There is .
He deserves a NRL job , because his vision of RL is something that can't be lost .
When gus talks everyone listens !!! One of the greats
Awesome way to finish the year legends,
Only half n hour in and you guys have gotten the very very best out of Gus 💪🏾
Every other gig he does it looks he’d rather be asleep 😂
Everything Gus talked about Storm are doing …I love this
They all are, some are just doing it much, much better than others, Ect Penrith, Storm, Sharks, dogs and Souths will now Benny is back, other clubs like the TigPies are doing it, just very very poorly.
Bulldogs are so lucky to have Gus
Unreal interview dope listening to the Gus
Insightful stuff fellas. This poddy is Levels above the rest. Chur!✌
an absolute sensation episode !!!
Great yarn guys! 💯 Pleasure to be listening to gus & his knowledge on this episode.
Goat episode! Love listening to Gus have a yarn🔥
Gus sat chatting to guys not fit to lace his.boots …every credit to him
Unreal listen, thanks for the year boys. L1
The God father of the NRL
Thanks Gus and thanks brothers
Great interview. I dont understand how some people criticise Gus Gould, he has to be the smartest/most experienced and considered person in league. Literally lifted several clubs back to top levels through bigger picture thinking, and wants Rugby League to thrive locally and globally.
Wow the knowledge from Gus is mind blowing and visionary 💯🔥
Great video.
There is only one Gus. probably the best footy brain in the League,
its interesting hearing Gus's points on things in footy
Great Insight about Talent ID by Phill. In every sport (especially soccer) there is the race to the bottom to find the next child prodigy.
Great Podcast, Why cannot Phil be like this on TV. This first time i really enjoyed listening to him today, I could sit down and listen to him for hours, when he's on nine I cannot stand him. He plays the Fool on nine like Fatty but it just doesn't work with Gus. Clearly, his smart, today he was genuine and not playing a character of himself.

EXPERIENCE IS THE REAL KEY

Good work boys, when someone like Gus talks you shutup and listen, and you did it well.
Best one all year! ❤
Hi guys love the poddy L1 from day 1. One of my best mates is getting married late next year and is a big fan as well as a mad golfer. Wondering if there is a chance of any civilians getting a call up for next years Levels golf day would be and awesome wedding gift to be able to buy a ticket for him. Cheers boys
one of the worst things that union did (Waratahs) was debut players at 21. It’s also 3 years of higher earning
Love listening to gus, great poddy lads
Mastermind 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love this episode
Brilliant. 👍
Great interview

Great show
FMD this is some elite footy chat

The goat guss ! legend
Great talanoa, boys. Well done.
