Speaking ahead of tomorrow evening’s fixture, Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles says “There won’t be too much change (from the last 2 games vs Hull KR), Alex Walker has been out with a back injury, but he’ll be back next week. James Meadows unfortunately is down with a knee injury, and we don’t know if we will see him again this year- we will let you know in due course and Jordan Williams is similar.
“I think Hull KR are probably the most consistent team- if you look at them from Round 1 to where we are now, the way they play everyone has very distinct roles, responsibilities & style of play.
“They have adjusted a couple of things defensively in certain areas but apart from that they have a very clear game plan of what they are going to try and achieve.”
