Millward is keen on making capital gains

Mike Critchley's big match preview

SAINTS will have to put all thoughts of the Leeds Challenge Cup clash to the back of their minds on Saturday when they make the longest trek on the Super League circuit.

The London Broncos away game has proved a tricky tie for Saints in the summer era at the best of times, but Ian Millward is confident his players will go into the game fully focused on keeping their 100 per cent start to the season.

He said: "We managed to put the Bradford game to the back of our minds for the Hull match.

"I would be disappointed if there was any dropping off because of the Leeds game.

"We have been through this situation many times before - and my players' attitude has been great.

"This is not the first time we have had a big win and play a game in between another massive tie.

"We are used to it. We have some really good leaders here and I could not be happier with our start to season. If we win at the weekend we will remain undefeated."

London have had a big turnover of players since last term and have had a mixed start to the season, being thrashed by Leeds on the opening day of the season before bouncing back with a cup win over Salford.

But some things never change and the Broncos' scrum half Dennis Moran is still there finding his way over the whitewash.

Influential skipper Jim Dymock also remains a player to be reckoned with, taking the man of the match award in last Sunday's cup win.

Millward said: "I looked at the tape of them against Salford and they played pretty well.

"They seem to be back to playing the way they finished last season. I have also watched their opening day defeat against Leeds, who just played really well.

"That was a tough one for London for a first game. I just think last week will have given them a lot of confidence.

"I think it will be a really hard game for us.

"History shows they are all pretty tough games at London, even before I came to the club.

"It is tough, particularly coming on the back of the Bradford game.

"It will be interesting to see how both Saints and Bradford shape after last weekend, because that was a pretty bruising game."

Saints, who travel down on Friday for the game, will select from the same squad that defeated Bradford apart from the injured Mike Bennett.

Young prop James Graham, utility player Jon Wilkin and winger Ade Gardner could get places in the 17.
