DAD STOPS THE SON SHINING

Quentin has last laugh against Phoenix in battle of generations

- DAVE CRAVEN

MAKING sure he didn't do any damage to his "old man" was the chief aim of Hull KR's Phoenix Laulu-Togaga'e.

But he was the one who ended up being grounded as his dad enjoyed the last word in their match-up.

In a rare professional rugby league occurrence, the father and son full-backs played against each other on Sunday.

On a dual-registration with Keighley Cougars, Phoenix, 20, faced Quentin, 38, as Sheffield Eagles romped to a 46-18 win in the Betfred Championship showdown.

The youngster (in action on Sunday, right) admitted: "It was weird. In the build-up, my main worry was that I didn't want to hurt my old man! "But both of us came out injury-free, so it all worked out.

"I still live at my mum and dad's house, but it was surprisingly normal on the morning of the game.
