Preview: 2024 Super League Round 25: Huddersfield Giants vs London Broncos

James Booth • 6 September 2024

The Broncos have their third last game of the 2024 Super League season on Sunday as we face off against Huddersfield Giants for the second time this season. When we faced Huddersfield earlier in the season at the Cherry Red Records Stadium (Round 6) the Giants took the victory 6-26. See below for the highlights of this fixture:


London Broncos vs Huddersfield Giants highlights (Super League Round 6):


The Broncos have faced Huddersfield on 68 occasions in all competitions, scoring 1,334 points and conceding 1,596 points. Click here to read the full in-depth history of the London Broncos vs Huddersfield Giants fixture!


The Broncos have had some hard luck over the past couple of weeks with their results as we have been putting in some of our best performances of the season but unfortunately, in the last few minutes of the game, the opposing team has the X factor ability to run away with the game. This Sunday’s matchup is an excellent opportunity to change the current trend of the games by getting our 4th win of the season and pushing us off the bottom of the table with 2 weeks to go!


Huddersfield haven’t been on the best run of form recently, winning 2 of their last 11 games and are currently sat in 9th place in the Super League table with a record of 8 wins and 16 losses.


Speaking ahead of Sunday’s fixture, Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles says “The squad is looking the best that it has been for quite a few weeks so there might be a couple of fresh bodies in there. Jimmy (Meadows) may be back in the 21-man squad, let’s see after training tonight.


“(Getting off the bottom of the table) has been the motivation for a while now really, we’re not overly pushing but obviously nobody wants to end the season with the wooden spoon.


“They’re a very physical team. We’re expecting a resurgent Huddersfield, they have the squad and now that Luke has taken over I think it will give them a massive shot in the arm.”

MATCH PREVIEW: Halifax Panthers vs London Broncos London Broncos will be looking to upset the odds on Sunday when they make the trip to the league leaders Halifax Panthers in round 8 of the Championship season. Kyle Eastmond’s side have been somewhat of a surprise package so far this season winning 6 of their opening 7 games to lead at this early stage. The Broncos meanwhile, have had an indifferent start with Mike Eccles operating with one of the smallest squads in the division. Last week Broncos came out on the wrong side of the battle at Barrow, another side who are fighting at the top end so far. It was a game that came at an extra cost as Jenson Binks and Sam Winney picked up injuries that will rule them out for this weekend at the very least.

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.
