Lewis Bienek to return to matchday squad following injury


London Broncos prop Lewis Bienek is set to return to the matchday squad against Hull FC on Sunday (12th May) following a serious ankle injury that was picked up in pre-season.

Speaking to London Broncos media, Lewis said;


“Very excited, it's been a long time coming after picking up that injury. It's been a tough road back but just being around training the last couple of weeks has been great.


“I now get the opportunity to come back, and for a home game, I’m very excited.


“Win or lose it’s always tough to watch your mates play.”


Meanwhile, London Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles is equally delighted to have Bienek once again available for selection;


“This week it is the return of crowd favourite Lewis Bienek. We have missed Lewis’ punch and power, but also his personality around the group. Josh Rourke also made the 21 man squad this week but requires another week's training to be fully considered. 


“Josh has looked very sharp in training though and will be competing for a spot for the Hull KR match. It’s fantastic that we are slowly putting back together our squad. It gives us more depth to pick from, but also improves the standard of training with larger numbers and the competition for places.”

MIKE ECCLES: “Things will get better this season.” London Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles has assured fans that better things are on the horizon after a sticky period of form. It has been a tough run of results with three consecutive results but also injuries and unavailability of dual-registration players has meant Mike Eccles has been operating with the bare minimum in terms of players available for selection. The run doesn’t get any easier as this weekend Broncos are on the road again but this time to the league leaders Halifax Panthers on Sunday.

MATCH PREVIEW: Barrow Raiders vs London Broncos London Broncos have their longest away trip on UK soil this week as they make the trip up to Cumbria to take on Barrow Raiders. Broncos have lost their last two games and last three away games so will be looking to bounce back with a win on Good Friday. Mike Eccles’ side were a matter of seconds away from victory against Batley Bulldogs at The Cherry Red Records but suffered heartbreak as Alfie Dean scored in the final play to send the Bulldogs back to West Yorkshire with the points. Barrow have enjoyed a good start to the season and come into this game off the back of a good win at Widnes Vikings with a 37-12 win. It means in the early stages of the season after 6 games the Raiders have won 4 and currently sit in 4th place.
