Workington game. : Fri Feb 26, 2016 9:33 am  

This is a game we need to win if we have top four ambitions.
According to a Workington website, The Broncos suffer Catalan syndrome, where they do not perform well, when they play away. For that reason they believe that they are in for an easy win. A Workington win 28 to 12 is their prediction.
After our performance last week I believe we should come away from Cumbria with two points, Workington are not setting the World on fire at the moment.
They may have a few players back from injury, but the quality of our squad, surely must give us the edge.

Worky are talking a good game, but they are whistling in the dark. Broncos by 14

Not that surprised the worky press have taken that view, especially in Cumbria we did not have a good run up there last year in fact we didn't travel well at all.
Last weekend altho we lost it was a decent competition by the sound and not the 20 or 30 point spanking some thought. So yep agree with you, if we are going to be in the mix at the end of the normal rounds it's a game we should take in our stride

Weather forecast looks OK for next few days to be dry, but probably too cold to dry out that much. Hendo expecting a muddy one and preparing tactics accordingly: http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/broncos-make-pitch-mud-blood-10948515 Less expansive, but high quality, play should give us the win. Sorry Izzy!

Maybe save King Eliab for the home game v Halifax next week then!

More his conditions

Have to win this. No excuses, no blaming the ref, no losing focus

We are better than we where last year, and so far our away form is 1 win, 1 loss, and as Oldham thumped Dewsbury, going to Oldham may not be the easy game most folks think.

This is the Game where London prove that they belong in the super 8's. Workingham, Whitehaven, Dewsbury, Batley, Swinton, Oldham, we need to be targeting beating all those both home and away as an absolute minimum this season.

This is a must win game for us. It will set us up for the summer. Lose this, and we might as well book our seats for widnes again in September, as we won't be in the top 4.

Fev, Sheffield, Leigh, Fax and Bulls won't lose in Cumbria. So we have to at least match this

We had a better squad and a better team than Worky last year (Whitehaven too, for that matter) so clearly it IS the long ole' trek from London thats the problem, we MUST deal with the travel-lag factor or we'll struggle, especially in that strength sapping mud!
