And almost as quickly as it arrived, Sky Sports Halo has gone.
I'll give Sky the benefit of the doubt and say they were coming from a good place and were looking to target where there's a potential gap in the market re: sports broadcasting and sports online content but it was poorly executed.

Sticking with the blue kit theme, here's Wigan RLFC after winning the 1993 Stones Bitter League Championship. This was the club's 15th top flight league title win. #WiganWarriors #RugbyLeague #ClassicRugbyLeague #RugbaLeeg #90sSport

First photo was against Feyenoord on 05/11/1997 and here's a photo from a Matchday Programme featuring Nicky Butt wearing the same majestic kit for #ManUtd on 04/03/1998 when playing against AS Monaco in Monaco in the #UCL. The programme cover was for the home fixture two weeks later. #90sFootball

Good interview by Steve Mascord via Rugby League Hub. www.patreon.com/posts/full-i...
I love the fact Danson is friends with PVL & AA.
My best bits from this are (see images):
Also can someone nominate Shane Richardson for the Nobel Peace Prize? Quickly becoming one of my favourite Aussies.

Arsenal confirm the rescheduling of their Premier League game against Everton to Saturday, December 20 at 8pm. Crystal Palace will also play against Leeds on that day, giving both teams (nearly) 72 hours to prepare for their EFL Cup tie at the Emirates Stadium.

I haven't played PES, I've always played FIFA but for those who haven't seen it, this 1998-1999 Carling Premiership patch for PES 2021 looks exquisite for those who love 90s football and gaming.
A shame it's currently only going to be available for PC. #90sFootball #PES2021 #CarlingPremiership

I enjoy atmospheric shots like this. This could quite easily be from a bygone era rather than recreated in recent times with the help of modern photography.

I know there are accusations of institutional bias levied at the BBC but has anyone heard some of the commentary team on #SkySports who can't hide their own personal bias against us when we're on? 😅 #WiganWarriors

This was an entertaining game and was actually a good watch for the TV viewer. Ballard, Brobbey and Trossard all scored great goals. #SAFC #Arsenal #PremierLeague

…League in the UK is played in a region decimated by over a decade of austerity, in a country struggling to fund essential services, contending with the behemoth of the EPL. Contrast to Aus where the game dominates as the number 1 sport in thriving cosmopolitan cities. There simply is no comparison

There was an image this morning that brought home the fact that NH and SH RL are operating in different worlds… It was CommBank stadium, with the backdrop of Sydney’s skyscrapers. For me it epitomised the vastly different macro factors the RFL have to contend with V the NRL…
