LONDON BRONCOS V WIDNES VIKINGS (by David Ballheimer) London Broncos (6) 10, Widnes Vikings (6) 12 London Broncos, for the third time in their last four home games, found themselves on the wrong end of a two-point scoreline. However, Widnes Vikings most definitely deserved to take the points because they dominated both possession and territory, especially the first part of the second half. All teams suffer injuries and in rugby league, they are a necessary evil. However, what is unequal is the players affected, and London were without winger Liam Tindall, scrum half Connor O’Beirne and prop Lewis Bienek, three key players.

Smith & Rathbone join the squad In this week's 21-man squad we are joined by 20-year-old outside back Jack Smith from Leeds Rhinos. Standing at 191cm tall, Smith can play on the wing or at centre. In 2024, Smith got the chance to develop away from the Rhinos as he featured on loan at Betfred Championship sides Halifax and Bradford. In total, he played five games (3 for Halifax, 2 for Bradford). With the Rhinos Reserves side, he played eight out of twelve games and scored one try against London Broncos reserves. Meanwhile, 19-year old Rathbone will be looking to make his senior debut with his spell away from parent club Wigan Warriors. Rathbone, who is predominately a loose forward but can also play at hooker, spent his entire amateur career at Leigh Miners before signing for the Warriors Academy in 2022 after progressing through the Scholarship programme. He still coaches at his childhood club whilst training to become a full time electrician away from playing, and he scored three tries in nine appearances for the Academy in 2023. Welcome to the Broncos, Jack & Kalum. #WeAreLondon
