Swinton hold on for the victory in Toulouse. FT 14 - 20. Not many predicted that!

Half time in France. Toulouse 4 Swinton 16.

Alan Kilshaw's assistant coaches Darren Abram and Paul Anderson announced today.

All three featured in Crusaders play off run. Games still available to watch on YouTube.

Today's signing is Jack Houghton a forward who has had several seasons with North Wales Crusaders.

Jack Stevens a young half back from Salford reserves has joined the Lions for 2024.

New signing today. Cole Oakley, back row forward. Last season with Halifax and loaned to Keighley and North Wales Crusaders.

Jordan Gibson has been announced today as a Swinton player for 2024.

Lepori, Spedding, Badrock and Gibson all announced as staying for next season.

Rumour has it from the weekend that Eaves and Badrock said to be staying with the Lions.

There is a possibility of the Manchester rebrand coming round again. It is being handled more carefully by the current board than it was before. Time will tell what the outcome will be.

The Hunslet statement says he is moving for personal reasons to be closer to his home with less travel time involved. It says he has a new child and job so it makes sense for him to cut down on travelling time. He is experienced and has had some success at previous clubs so I hope he goes well for the Lions.

Alan Kilshaw it is. Announced officially with a 2 year contract.

All home wins.

Brickhill has had a couple of awful injuries to try to overcome. He is another player I am sad to see leave.
