Gallagher to debut against Saints on
Friday

London Broncos intend to travel to St Helens with just the one change to the team that was defeated last Friday by Leeds. Rookie Rhino, Tommy Gallagher, who was this week taken on month's loan from Leeds, has been handed the place on the bench left vacant by outgoing Leeds Academy winger, Austin Buchanan.

Gallagher, 19, has been in good form for the Rhinos' Under-21 side this season, playing in a variety of positions in the pack after returning from a loan spell at York earlier in the year. He was the club's Academy Player of the Year in 2002, and capped a fine campaign by being a member of the England Academy side, which historically defeated the Australian Schoolboys, scoring a superb long-range try in the First Test.

St Helens won two from three contests against London last season, including their 22-14 home win at Knowsley Road in round nineteen. The two games played in London were shared, London winning 40-6 in round four, and Saints winning 18-16 in the last round of the season.

Broncos coach Tony Rea is happy with his team's preparation: "It's been a solid week at training. We've looked at a few areas and I'm happy with our approach. There has been a good feeling at training and the team is looking forward to the challenge ahead."
