Speaking ahead of Sunday’s fixture, Broncos Director or Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles says “Along with Wigan, Warrington are probably the two best teams. The odds are stacked heavily against us again.


“What do we know about Warrington? They are a very fast team. They have pace all over, their back three are lightning and are probably the fastest in the competition.


“We’re a different team now (from when we played earlier in the season) but the pace through their team is frightening and is a major reason as to why they’re up at the top”.

Also speaking to Broncos media was Emmanuel Waine who says “I’m looking forward to the weekend. It’s a big game for us, a home game as well so looking forward to it.

 

“I have had a lot of injuries and stuff, so it is good to be back at home and have the opportunity to play in front of the home crowd.


”To play in Super League is a dream come true for me. Home games are massive for me so to play in front of the home crowd again is massive for me”.


See the full interview with Emmanuel here:

After our first team game at 3pm, the Broncos reserves line up to face Warrington Reserves at 5:30pm. Speaking ahead of this game, reserves player Dan Hoyes says “It’s very exciting. We’ve had a couple of wins on the bounce which is a nice change from the last couple of years.


“I had a bit of trouble at the start due to some injuries but it’s built as we have gone on through the season, everyone has gotten used to each other and the young lads are getting better week on week.


“The Warrington Reserves will be a good side, we will see who they put out and we will see how we get on”.

MIKE ECCLES: “Things will get better this season.”

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

by Jake Watson • 17 April 2025
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.
