Ah that’s great! I didn’t know the date of the game, so thank you. It was my first final. I think it was Batley Boys v Dewsbury Moor U9s Heavy Woollen Cup Final? Look what I have in my home office…

So my husband bought us new toothbrushes, my first thought was why would @OralB choose pink as the alternative to black when the obvious choice would be white? Is pink supposed to be for a wife? Or am I being heteronormative too in gender stereotyping colours?!

When the moustache gets comments on @Forty20LIVE you know it’s working. Clearly distracting viewers from the nonsense I spout 🥸 Remember, a moustache is for life, not just @MovemberUK

Honour to jointly represent @TheRFL at tonight’s #LGBT History Month reception hosted by the Speaker of the House of Commons & RFL President, Sir Lindsay Hoyle. Today’s crass joke by the Prime Minister about trans identity was a reminder why such events remain so important. – at London, England

It was a pleasure to speak to @NCA_UK this week at the start of #LGBT History Month about my experiences as a gay man in professional rugby league, how officiating tested my resilience and the importance of allyship. #publicspeaking

This came up on my memories today - 16 years yesterday I touch judged my first Super League Grand Final - how times flies! And what a top group of blokes to run with. GF night is always special. Good luck to tonight’s officials.

It was a pleasure to speak at the prestigious @ShrewsburySch last night about my career as a former RL referee, the demands of studying while working & climbing the refereeing ladder, as well as my experiences as an out gay man in the sport
