Speaking ahead of this Sunday’s fixture, we caught up with Broncos assistant coach Jordie Hedges, who says “It’s another massive game for us. It’s a massive occasion for the club back at the Stoop trying to connect with an old fanbase as well as with the new fanbase.


“This is a game that we need to go out and win and put a performance in but we understand the magnitude of this for the club as well.


“It’ll be a similar game (from last time out). Conditions aren’t looking great but hopefully we get some dry footy so we can play with the ball a bit”.


Broncos’ media also caught up with Broncos half-back Oli Leyland who says “We’re feeling good, we’ve had a good training week, so we’ve dusted down and ready to go again after some good training.


“Where we’re at and where the team are at is we just need to work on us and focus on approaching every game the same way. Obviously, we’ll have a look at what they’re going to throw at us but for us it’s the same process every week of trying to better ourselves.


“The first game that I went to watch with the Broncos was at the Stoop after a mini’s tournament so you could say that is the start of our journey so to then go and play where I watched my first game will be massive.”

GAMEWEEK: Featherstone Rovers vs London Broncos Off the back of another win at The Cherry Red Records on Saturday against Hunslet the Broncos move into cup action this weekend. We turn our attentions to the 1895 Cup and a place in the semi-finals is at stake when we head to Featherstone Rovers to take on Paul Cooke's side. The last time we were in the 1895 Cup we reached the semi-final stages of the competition and will be looking to go at least one step further on this occasion. Broncos have already faced Featherstone once this season and it was Mike Eccles side who took the win in a league game at Wimbledon. The last time Broncos played at Featherstone was in the semi-final of the play-offs in 2023 and it was the Broncos who picked up a shock win to progress to the final and ultimately seal promotion back to Super League.

LONDON BRONCOS V HUNSLET (by David Ballheimer) London Broncos (16) 26, Hunslet (0) 6 London Broncos produced one of their most dominant defensive performances in recent memory as they beat Hunslet at the Cherry Red Records Stadium on Saturday night. Such was London’s control of the ruck that the Yorkshiremen had only one attack on the London line, and they turned over the ball-carrier before he could ground the ball. At the other end, Hunslet could not cope with the power and strength of London’s ball-carriers. The Broncos made a great start, scoring on their second possession, courtesy of Marcus Stock, who found a way through three tacklers before stretching over the line and grounding the ball. Most of the credit, however, belonged to Huw Worthington, who charged 35 metres downfield returning a kick. Four minutes later, Stock turned provider, turning in a tackle and sending Luke Polselli over. The half-back was able to run behind the posts to make Chris Hellec’s second conversion even easier than his first.
