Gentle wary of Broncos backlash

Hull coach Peter Gentle is preparing his side for a London Broncos backlash in front of the SKY cameras this weekend.

Rob Powell was an unhappy man as the capital side were beaten 50-10 at Warrington last Sunday, conceding nine tries in the process.

But Gentle isn’t reading too much in to that result, and thinks they will provide a tough test for his side, who drew with Warrington in Round 1.

He told the club’s official website: “I expect London will be pretty disappointed with the result last week, but Warrington can do that to teams when they are in the mood. Once the passes start to stick, they are a very difficult team to handle and we won’t be judging London solely on that game.

“We think London are a top eight side with the players they have got. They have signed some very good and some very experienced players, so they will be a big test for us.”

Hull take on London at the KC Stadium in front of the SKY TV cameras on Sunday, 5.45pm kick-off.
