Back to Doncaster for a Pre Season Friendly. Jan 20th at 3pm. Not too far to travel.

Pre season match against scholars again. Friday 25th Jan at 7pm at New River.

As expected a bit one sided. Everyone seems to be getting a run out. Further it gives the new players an of what to expect in regards to away games .

Friendlies are just that, so tend not to take too much from them. But 64 points put on Donny can't be bad, Leeds put 60 past em but they kept them scoreless where we let em in for one.
Overall looks like a good first outing for the lads. Next week will be a bit of a tougher challenge

I could imagine 1-17 today being the first choice this season

Hopefully the injury to Walker is only minor.

Tougher, but you'll beat us by 20+ if you play your best 17.

Would like to hope so budgie. What's the feeling among the fans up there? It's been a tough off season for you.

Yeah, the fans are excited because we have signed mainly 'local players'....though that guarantees you nothing, apart from 101% commitment.
Our backs are our 'strength' on paper, our pack is rather lightweight though. Watched them train yesterday, Andy Bracek & Tom Spencer looked BIG compared to the rest, but in reality they are not.
Guess "it is what it is" right now with us, our owner isn't 'splashing the cash' this season, so it's a reality check.
Hope you guys prove most folk wrong, and don't finish bottom of Super League. If London field their strongest side next Sunday, my prediction is Leigh 16 London 34. (We have to field our strongest side, only got 20 players !)

We are up against Skolars tonight. Seems that we are giving the Academy lads a run out, which is good. I am looking forward to a good contest, let us hope for a good turn out.

Interesting Alex walker not named for sunday. Hope it’s nothing to do with the knock from last week

What was the score against the scholars?

Broncos won 38~22. 28~0 at half rime.

Broncos won 38-22. The team in the first half, which included first team experience such as Dan Hindmarsh, Sam Davis, Matt Davies and Rob Butler, ripped Skolars apart. The Skolars came back well against the far less experienced team that played the second half. The whippet, Gideon Boafo who played the full eighty, scored four tries.
It was very pleasant evening and an entertaining game, which I am sure was enjoyed by all.
