Source: www.superleague.co.ukThe rebranded London Broncos may have yet to secure a Stobart Super League win under their 'new' name, but a maiden two-point haul of the season is not too far away, according to stand-off Michael Witt.
Since switching back to being known as the Broncos after a spell under the Harlequins banner, the capital club have struggled to recapture some of their old flair and currently, along with Widnes Vikings, prop up the table after a five-game winless start to 2012.
Coach Rob Powell was openly downbeat after last weekend's defeat at Salford City Reds - he called the dressing room the quietest he had known - and all involved at the Twickenham Stoop know that a win is needed sooner rather than later.
A home meeting with Castleford Tigers this Saturday presents an immediate chance to get their season up and running - the Tigers have lost four in a row - and Witt is hoping they can make the most of it.
"After a poor performance at Salford, the boys have been doing a lot of reflecting," the former Crusaders RL playmaker said.
"It was said that our dressing room was quiet after the win and that was probably down to some blokes being disappointed in how they had played.
"We know we have had a poor start, but none of that has been down to a lack of effort. The boys are really looking forward to putting it right at the weekend and hopefully that will show."
Saturday's opponents Castleford have endured a turbulent start to the season, with coach Ian Millward having been granted compassionate leave by the club following the sudden death of his son.
Millward was just three games into his career with Castleford when the tragedy struck, and his side have failed to win in his absence, although there were clear green shoots of recovery in last weekend's defeat to Leeds Rhinos.
"I think Castleford are a very good side and they have a lot of smart players," Witt added.
"We know we will have to be on our game to try and beat them. They haven't been winning many games but they played really well against Leeds and we know what we have to do and who to try and shut down."

Source: www.league.quins.co.ukHarlequins have begun strengthening their squad for the 2012 season by signing two Crusaders players. Australian prop Mark Bryant, who has been an ever present with the Welsh outfit during their three years in Super League, has agreed a two year contract. Crusaders stand off Michael Witt, 27, has signed on a three year deal with Quins.
Bryant, 30, played for the Australian Schoolboys in 1998 and began his NRL career with the Canberra Raiders in 2002. He moved to the Sea Eagles in 2005 and played in consecutive Grand Finals against Melbourne Storm, being on the losing side in 2007 and emerging triumphant in 2008.
A powerful front rower at 107kg (16st 12lbs) and 183cm (6ft), he made the move to Wales for the 2009 season to play for the Crusaders in their inaugural Super League campaign.
Harlequins Head Coach Rob Powell said:"Mark is a top quality, experienced prop having played in Grand Finals in Australia. He has been a consistent performer in Super League over the last three years and will bring us experience and leadership."
Witt, another Australian, made a sensational start to his Super League career in 2010, rattling up 117 points in just 17 appearances before his inaugural season was cut short by a serious knee injury.
The half back, 180cm (5ft 11ins) and 84kg (14st), had a spell in rugby union with Otago prior to signing for the Crusaders but before than he had spent six years in the NRL. He played two seasons with each of three clubs, Parramatta Eagles in 2003-04, Manly Sea Eagles in 2005-06 and New Zealand Warriors in 2007-08.
Toowoomba-born, Witt was also a champion junior boxer before turning to Rugby League. Despite being born and brought up in Queensland, he turned out for New South Wales Under-19s while at Parramatta and for NSW Residents while at Manly.
Rob Powell said: "Michael will provide us with direction around the park. He has fantastic kicking game and is a great footballer. It's exciting brining him in and he will complement our existing quality play makers."
Andy EllisHooker Andy Ellis will leave the club at the end of the season. He has signed a three-year deal with the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
