Today’s Super League game sees Wakefield head down the M1 to take on London Broncos at The Stoop in a game that can be seen live on Sky Sports 1 at 5.45pm.
We’ve been spoilt with televised top of the table clashes over the last couple of weeks and today’s game gives us a chance to see two teams battling at the bottom to climb up the table.
London have won only once this season registering a 42-16 home victory over fellow strugglers Castleford and whilst visitors Wakefield have notched only two wins themselves, they come into this game on the back of an excellent 32-22 victory over Catalan Dragons.
Prior to that they were unfortunate not to take the points against high fliers Warrington and went down by only two points in a 32-30 reverse and whilst they’re in the bottom half of the table, their defensive record is not much worse than teams in the top half of the table.
The same can’t be said for the Broncos who have shipped in 276 points in their opening eight games and only Super League new boys Widnes have an inferior defence.
Wakefield have had a tricky set of opening fixtures and whilst they have lost five, they haven’t been really thumped by anyone and boss Richard Agar feels they are making good progress and heading in the right direction whilst London seem to be struggling as their defensive record shows.
This is a game that Wakefield will feel they can take the two points back up North and further build on last week’s good win and their great performance against Warrington.
On The Account
I’m looking at London’s defensive frailties and feel that the Time Of 1st Away Try Under 17:59 at 1.83 with Blue Sq. is a fair shout and should see a return.
