Hull KR have also played eleven games so far this season and are currently sat in 5th place after winning 7 (0-22 vs Hull FC, 22-12 vs Leeds Rhinos, 12-24 vs Huddersfield Giants, 34-10 vs Hull FC, 50-10 vs London Broncos, 26-10 vs Wigan Warriors & 40-20 vs St Helens Saints) and losing 4 (17-10 vs Salford Red Devils, 20-22 vs Warrington Wolves, 36-6 vs Catalans Dragons & 20-8 vs Warrington Wolves) games so far this season.


Speaking ahead of our Round 11 clash on Sunday, Hull KR head coach Willie Peters says "I think that this week will be a good game for us. What we need is a professional & clinical performance.

”If you look at when we played London here (Craven Park) we had a good first half and then it was a 10-6 score line in the second half. For us it’s about staying in games for longer periods.

 

“It’s a good opportunity to play against a team which has nothing to lose and off their first win will be confident so there’s no doubt they’ll throw a lot at us”.

 

Also ahead of this Sunday’s fixture, we caught up with Broncos assistant coach Jordie Hedges, who says “Well let ourselves down that first game (vs Hull KR) especially in the first half so we are looking to put a few things right from that game.


“The second half showed that we could do it. We put ourselves in a much better position but obviously you can’t afford to let teams get ahead like that and especially Hull KR.


“We’re looking forward to an 80 minute performance which we can put in against these boys.”


Broncos’ media also caught up with new permanent signing Ugo Tison who was speaking about the rest of the season with the Broncos. Tison says “I’m very excited because it’s been a long time coming and after picking up that injury it has been a long road to recovery.


“My English is improving day after day; I speak often with the boys so it has been good for me!


“I’ve played four good games, more minutes than for the Dragons which is good for me, and I want to stay here and play week after week.


“It’s difficult for sure because of my family and the Dragons is my club but I need to take a big decision, so I choose to stay here and play more. It’s a big move”.

The Broncos would twice take the lead in the first-half only to be pegged back on both occasions to go into the break 12-12 but a last minute try from Benjamin Laguerre would seal the points for Sylvain Houles side.

MATCH PREVIEW: Toulouse Olympique vs London Broncos London Broncos head into one of the stand out fixtures of the season on Sunday when they make the trip to the south of France to take on Toulouse Olympique. Not only is it a visit to the side topping the Championship table but it is also the destination of one of the best days in the club's recent history. Securing promotion against Toulouse in 2023 was the last meeting between the two sides but despite the Broncos coming out on top that day it is the French who will be favourites on Sunday. Broncos come into this game on the back of a losing run but shoots of improvements were clear to see in the narrow defeat to Widnes last time out and will be boosted by the squad named. Squad Information Mike Eccles has named the 21-man travelling party for this weekend’s trip to Toulouse as Brandon Webster-Mansfield is named for the first time since arriving. Alongside Webster-Mansfield we also Liam Tindall and Connor O’Beirne return, coming as a huge boost for the squad. Sam Winney also returns to the 21 for the first time since breaking his jaw in the away game at Barrow. Jack Smith who is on dual registration from Leeds Rhinos also joins the group after scoring two tries on his debut for the club against Widnes Vikings. Lewis Bienek remains the only major absentee however it is hoped he will be fit for the next game at Hunslet.
