Speaking ahead of Sunday’s fixture, Broncos Director or Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles says “Along with Wigan, Warrington are probably the two best teams. The odds are stacked heavily against us again.


“What do we know about Warrington? They are a very fast team. They have pace all over, their back three are lightning and are probably the fastest in the competition.


“We’re a different team now (from when we played earlier in the season) but the pace through their team is frightening and is a major reason as to why they’re up at the top”.

Also speaking to Broncos media was Emmanuel Waine who says “I’m looking forward to the weekend. It’s a big game for us, a home game as well so looking forward to it.

 

“I have had a lot of injuries and stuff, so it is good to be back at home and have the opportunity to play in front of the home crowd.


”To play in Super League is a dream come true for me. Home games are massive for me so to play in front of the home crowd again is massive for me”.

After our first team game at 3pm, the Broncos reserves line up to face Warrington Reserves at 5:30pm. Speaking ahead of this game, reserves player Dan Hoyes says “It’s very exciting. We’ve had a couple of wins on the bounce which is a nice change from the last couple of years.


“I had a bit of trouble at the start due to some injuries but it’s built as we have gone on through the season, everyone has gotten used to each other and the young lads are getting better week on week.


“The Warrington Reserves will be a good side, we will see who they put out and we will see how we get on”.

EMILIA'S BIG DAY It's not long now until we welcome Emilia and DKMS to The Cherry Red Records Stadium for her big day! - London Broncos will host ‘Emilia’s Big Day’ to celebrate young cancer survivor whose life was saved by a stem cell donor. - Supporters can join the stem cell donor register with a simple mouth swab - This is part of a partnership with DKMS : inspired by lifelong rugby league fan whose baby son needed a stem cell transplant. ‘Emilia’s Big Day’ is a major peak in a partnership between Broncos and DKMS, which encourages rugby fans to become potential lifesavers by joining the stem cell donor register. Emilia Mackay, 7, was just 5 years old when she was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia, a rare and life-threatening blood disorder, and required weekly blood and platelet transfusions just to survive. Doctors said that she needed a stem cell transplant, but unfortunately, no one in her family was a match, so a global search began to find a stranger who could save her life. Emilia’s dad, James Mackay, says, “As a parent, my child being diagnosed with such a serious illness was my worst nightmare. When we knew that Emilia’s future would rely on someone from the stem cell donor register, it was terrifying.” Fortunately for Emilia, a stranger in Germany had signed up to the DKMS donor register and was identified as a match. They agreed to donate their stem cells, which were then flown to the UK before being quickly transferred to the hospital where Emilia was being cared for. Emilia is now in remission, and since her transplant at the end of 2023, she has been thriving. James says, “Emilia’s donor changed everything for us. It’s obviously very emotional; the kindness of a random stranger means that my daughter has been given another chance at life. We’re so happy that she is well enough to do the things she loves, and that we can attend rugby games as a family. We are so excited for the event with Broncos and DKMS -- we won’t just be celebrating Emilia, we’ll also be adding more people to the register so that more patients like her can get a second chance at life”.
