Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s fixture, Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet says “I think Mike (Eccles) and the way his team have attacked this year in difficult circumstances, they have done it with honour every time they take the field.

“Everyone understands that they are up against it, but they don’t moan and play the game the right way.

“I just feel like they have done and given it their all and they can take a lot of pride from it. They’ve got a lot of class about them which isn’t easy when they are losing games.

“I feel like every game they compete; they are connected with one another. I think they can hold their heads high”.



Peet also carried on talking about London’s current standings within the league and his idea of where he would like to see the Broncos moving forward: “I think the first thing is everyone would love to see a strong London Broncos,” Peet said.

“It would be great for British rugby league and Super League so I think that the long-term objective should include London Broncos in there and build to where they can eventually a hold a place in the topflight.”

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.
