FT Pia 39-24

How are Big Phil and Luke Swain getting on over in France? Had a lot of time for both of them at Salford. I dare say we'd love to see Swainy back for his defensive efforts especially as his replacement (Bailey) looks likely to miss the season!

Both doing ok though big Phil was really missing Manchester (City) & his family - since his family came over he has settled in better and his family are happier and a team mate reckons he is considering a further season at FCL

Cheers Sanjunien. I know Phil really took to Manchester whilst he was over here, top bloke on and off the field. Glad it's going well for him.

yeh,he's a really nice guy - a gentle giant like most of the props !

he's patriotic cos' he still carries his Man City logo bag around with him for the matches !

Una Lamelangi cops a 2 match ban & Aurelien Cologni 3 matches which will see him miss the Cup Final
