    Sky Sports Halo misses what women actually want

    November 15, 2025
    Opinion

    When Sky Sports Halo appeared on my TikTok feed, I felt a wave of déjà vu. After the whole situation with the Financial Times and its attempt to explain women’s interest in hockey through romance novels, I thought the industry might start learning. Apparently not. Another major outlet has decided to create content “for women”,…

    Rugby League Ashes: England’s lesson before the World Cup

    The Ashes finally returned after twenty-two years of “maybe next year” noises, and for once, rugby league got to dress up and feel important. Wembley was packed with more than 60,000 fans. BBC cameras rolling at a sensible time of day. People who had not watched a game since Sam Burgess still had two working…

    Ice Hockey – the perfect winter replacement for rugby league? 🏉🏒

    Because the off-season shouldn’t mean off-duty. The Super League season’s over, your weekends suddenly feel empty, and you’re not quite sure what to do with your hands now that there’s no one to boo on a Friday night. If you’re missing the hits, the heart, and the pure chaos of rugby league, here’s a thought: trade…

    Is Wembley Right for Rugby League?

    Opinion, Rugby League

    We’ve just witnessed the opening Test of the 2025 ABK Beer Ashes Series between England and Australia at Wembley Stadium — and now feels like the perfect moment to ask whether Wembley genuinely serves rugby league in the UK. What do the investment signals tell us about where the sport is headed? And how do…

    This Saturday (25 October 2025) I’ll be at Wembley Stadium as England take on Australia in the opening Test of the 2025 Ashes Series. I’m not just watching — I’m in the stands, feeling the noise, soaking up the moment. Because this isn’t just a match. It’s a statement for the sport. Quick Stats Venue:…

    Bradford’s Return Is a Step Back for Rugby League

    October 16, 2025
    Opinion, Rugby League, Sport

    Bradford’s Super League return shows how IMG’s grading still rewards nostalgia over progress, while Hull KR lead and London, York and Toulouse miss out.

    We belong here: thoughts on female sports fandom

    October 6, 2025
    Ice Hockey, Motorsport, Opinion

    When I first read the Financial Times article about female ice hockey fans, I had to pause halfway through. As a Nottingham Panthers supporter, I felt an immediate sting – not because I was surprised, but because I was tired.

    From sports journalism to country music: my first radio show

    Well, I guess I have a country music radio show now… If you’d told me this time last year that I’d be hosting a radio show with banjos, cowboy hats, and plenty of twang, I’d have laughed. Yet here I am: my very first country music show with Blunt Radio has been broadcast into the…

  • Wakefield’s victory over top KR- what a night!

    September 15, 2025
    Rugby League, Uncategorized

    It’s nights like those that make you remember why you love rugby league so much. I’ve just about calmed down enough to talk about what a feeling it was! Wakefield Trinity’s last home game against Hull KR wasn’t just a win – it was a full-on celebration of how far the club has come. Especially…

  • Choosing Well-Being Over a Paycheck: Lessons From My First Corporate Job

    September 12, 2025
    Lifestyle

    There’s a question that many young professionals face at some point: What’s more important — advancing your career or protecting your well-being? I didn’t expect to face that question quite so soon. What was supposed to be an exciting first week in a role I’d been eager to start turned into a situation that pushed me…
