London Broncos head coach Mike Eccles described the “surreal” experience of leading his side back into Super League after a shock 18-14 win over Toulouse Olympique in the south of France.
Two second-half tries from Iliess Macani saw the Broncos haul back a 10-point half-time deficit to wrap up three straight away play-off victories and confirm their return to the top flight for the first time since 2019. Eccles, whose side lost four of their first five games of the regular season, told Viaplay: “We said we were going to do it and we were happy to come away because it brings us together so much and we were going to need that.
” Long-time London star Alex Walker, who had also featured in the shock play-off win over Toronto Wolfpack in Canada in 2018, said victory answered the critics who had written off their chances at the start of the campaign. “We’ve done it all year, coming hard, and we came out in the second half when it matters,” said Walker. “I can’t believe that we’ve done it, but anything can happen in sport and we’ve proved that this year.
