Danny Ward’s London Broncos were cruelly dismissed from the Super League and, after a year out, will return to try and bring the top-flight back to the capital.
Full-back: James Meadows
Having made his debut at the age of 18, James Meadows now has his chance to shine. Meadows has shown promise during his loan spells with Coventry Bears, London Skolars and Sheffield Eagles and now has the opportunity to satisfy the faith his head coach has put in him.
Wingers: Tuoyo Egodo & Ed Chamberlain
Tuoyo Egodo just cannot get a consistent run of form at any club, but he has shown he certainly knows his way to the try line. The Broncos have been one of the best attacking teams in the Championship and combined with Egodo’s finishing ability, could very well be a dangerous threat throughout 2021. Irish international Ed Chamberlain has scored plenty of points and is another suitable fit into such a potent attacking team.
Centres: Chris Hankinson & Will Lovell
Trading in Lancashire for the South, Chris Hankinson has shown to be a tricky player, particularly with his side-stepping ability. As club captain, Will Lovell is an easy choice as his guidance will be crucial in helping London challenge for promotion.
Stand-off: Cory Aston
He has done plenty of travelling, but Cory Aston is an exciting half-back and should blend in well with Ward’s set-up.
Scrum-half: Jarrod Sammut
Now a player who has had more clubs than Tiger Woods himself, Jarrod Sammut returns for his third overall spell with the club. Nippy, tricky with an all-round game, Sammut’s skill and ability, combined with Aston, will make London a dangerous attacking threat.
Props: Olsi Krasniqi & Greg Richards
Olsi Krasniqi has proved to be a reliable force in the front row, having shown his worth for both Salford Red Devils and Toronto Wolfpack previously. Greg Richards has been a handful in the past, showing off his skill for both St Helens and Leigh Centurions.
Hooker: Matty Fozard
Exciting and unpredictable at stages, Matty Fozard should be able to continue his trade for another season. The 25-year-old still has plenty to offer the club and the game itself, and his ability to organise a pack could see him be a tricky opponent.
Second-row: Sadiq Adebiyi & Rhys Curran
Nigerian international Sadiq Adebiyi has been a loyal and consistent performer at the club for six years and should continue to thrive under Ward’s coaching set up. Hoping for his first full season at the club, Rhys Curran was a frequent try-scorer for previous club Toulouse Olympique and is yet another suitable fit for the Broncos’ playing style.
Loose-forward: Josh Walters
A necessity for coming off the substitute bench, Sam Davis can swap with Fozard in the hooking role, giving each other plenty of chance to rest and regroup when required.
Romain Navarrete
Romain Navarrete is a man mountain with six years Super League experience between Catalans Dragons and Wigan Warriors, but is now beginning a new challenge under Ward.
Dan Hindmarsh
Entering his fifth year with the club, Dan Hindmarsh provides London with impact as well as support for his front row.
Titus Gwaze
Another young and upcoming forward, Titus Gwaze showed promise at former club Wakefield Trinity and with his size, is another option for London to rotate in their pack heading forward.
