Bostwick, you have it right their, once the team gets the mental set right then it works for them, a winning mentality and habit is always worth a couple of points in a game, when they go behind then heads don't drop as easy. When you are constantly losing very quickly you see that "here we go again" body language. So true we ain't going to Wembley but a win against fev would be good and it keeps the momentum, then next round actually nit really to bothered as as long as we avoid a 60/70 point drubbing.
Might even try and get up too Bradford, I think we could do with a good performance up at odsal to shake off the away fixture catalan comparison.

Toulouse

Catalan don't join the competition until the 6th round.

Good to see Israel in the 19 for this Cup Tie, no Wes & no Cunningham. http://www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/hen ... -cup-side/

It is more important to beat Fev in the League than in the Cup, but even with players rested this 19 can do the job! Hats off to Hendo for getting such a solid squad. (and that is without Stapleton and Lovegrove)

Atomic, I was not suggesting we would get a fixture against Catalan.

It was suggested by the press at another club that London Broncos suffered from Catalan Dragons syndrome in that we did not travel well

On a Featherstone site, they feel that we will be a pushover, with Wes out, Slyney and Ioane not included, we have no kicker and no props.
Let them under estimate us. Do they not understand we have a squad for this very reason.
Be nice to see Israel getting his debut, let us hope he has a winning start.

On a London site, they feel that we (Fev) are "not the team we were".

May the best side win! Izzy Wizzy let's get busy!

Re: Bring on Featherstone. : Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:53 pm  

What will be interesting is to see how many Featherstone fans the game attracts.
It being a late kick off and having a league fixture the week after and a live feed to the clubhouse will conspire to reduce the away support.
Still it will be nice for us to be able to bring out the old chestnut for once. DID YOU ALL COME IN THE SAME CAR !!!!!!!!!!!

Which London site? I don't think anyone on here is assuming anything. Our performances have not been brilliant so far, we have had to grind out the wins. I would not suggest that Hendo or the club did not have as much focus on the CC but with the 2 games over easter coming up it might be safe to say that may have had an effect on selection.
