The Rugby League Players Association is pleased to announce the player-voted Player of the Month award will be presented by Levels Network in 2024, an exciting collaboration that will elevate the awards and individual performances of players.
The presenting collaboration begins with the March Player of the Month award, which is this year selected by a panel of former players including Levels Networks’ Justin Horo along with The Bye Round’s James Graham and Dene Halatau.
The nominations and Player of the Month winner will be announced on the Levels Network podcast, hosted by Justin Horo and Willie Mason.
“The RLPA is proud to collaborate with Levels Network on the Player of the Month awards for 2024,” said Tom Symonds, the RLPA’s General Manager, Past Players and Transition.
“Justin and Willie have built a platform that is extremely authentic and engaging which has led to an incredible following amongst fans and players alike. What they are continuing to achieve as past players with the Levels Network is great to see, and we look forward to building the Player of the Month awards together.”
“We are also incredibly grateful to James and Dene who have re-committed to their positions on the nominations panel. Along with Justin, both are respected rugby league minds with brilliant knowledge of the game and we are very pleased to have all three on the nominations panel.”
