Ioane: Broncos have strength in depth

Mark Ioane believes London Broncos’ strength in depth with help them as the club looks to cement its place in the Qualifiers.

Seven wins in a row have propelled the Broncos up to third in the Championship table, although Hull KR remain favourites to clinch the regular season title.

“It’s a good, positive feeling and now everyone is becoming more confident in their own ability in the team,” he told the club’s official website.

“The biggest thing is that we are actually playing as a team now, and believing more. I think in the past two months we’ve shown that when the going gets tough, we can tough it out and work hard for results, compete with the best and beat the best too.

“It’s important for us to keep doing the little things right because the competition is so much harder this year and a lot more competitive, so making sure we play to the best of our ability each week is the most important thing.

“I think we have a lot more depth to the squad than we did last year. That’s all down to some clever recruitment in the off season and all credit to the club for that.

“The seventeen that’s picked each week just have to do their jobs – if the coach has the confidence in us, then we have to return the compliment with a great performance and perform to the best of our ability, as they there is always someone just as good waiting to take your spot.”
