SQUAD INFO Mike Eccles has named his squad for the final home game of the season to face Bradford Bulls at The Cherry Red Records on Saturday.

MATCH PREVIEW: Connor O'Beirne looks ahead to Emilia's Big Day Ahead of the final home game of the season Connor O'Beirne believes despite Bradford's superior league position they go into the game full of confidence. Cast your mind back to the opening back of the season it was a trip to Odsal for Mike Eccles' side - a team that had only played once together prior, a defeat to League One Goole Vikings. Broncos would show great potential and would lead Bradford at half-time. Ultimately it was Bradford who took the points but there were a number of positives - including the debut of Connor O'Beirne who instantly showed his ability to step up to The Championship. Watch the full interview with Connor as he discusses his first season in England and the excitement ahead of Saturday's game.
