London Broncos have made remarkable progress in their quest to return to Super League, with a recent run of five consecutive victories putting them in contention for promotion.

The club's survival after a difficult season disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic is seen as a significant achievement for both the team and the sport in the capital.

The Broncos narrowly avoided relegation to League 1, the third tier of rugby league, as the pandemic affected their parachute payments.

However, they have since rebuilt and are now on the verge of confirming their place in the playoffs.

A win against Bradford on Sunday would secure their spot in the playoffs and further enhance their chances of promotion.

The club's coach, Mike Eccles, acknowledges the progress they have made despite the challenges they faced.

He describes the stability they have achieved as a club since the pandemic as the best they have experienced.

Eccles highlights the drastic drop in financial support from Super League levels to mere tens of thousands of pounds due to the pandemic, emphasizing the bleak circumstances they had to overcome.
