Broncos overwhelm Salford
London's Jason Hetherington
Hetherington's try opened the floodgates
Salford 18-42 London

Salford stay rooted to the foot of the Tetley's Super League after sliding to their sixth successive defeat.

The outclassed Reds trailed 30-6 at half-time as the Broncos already a return to the top six.


I don't think I'd feel this bad if I'd had both my legs cut off
Salford boss Steve McCormack

London went ahead after seven minutes when Scott Cram was held short and skipper Jason Hetherington went over, with Tony Martin kicking the first of his seven goals from seven attempts.

Rob Purdham and half-back partner Dennis Moran then combined for Steele Retchless to go over.

Salford gave themselves some hope with Jason Nicol's try but the Broncos added three further touchdowns before the break from Jim Dymock, Richard Moore and Russell Bawden.


It was a very impressive performance and most of the damage was done in the first half

Tony Martin and Hetherington also had tries disallowed as Salford wilted.

Further tries from Bawden and Richie Barnett early in the second half made it 42-6 before Salford snatched two late tries from sub Francis Maloney to give the scoreline more respectability.

Reds skipper Bobbie Goulding and Broncos' Wayne Evans were sin binned on the hour after a flare-up.

London: Barnett, Wilkinson, Martin, Toshack, Hall, Purdham, Moran, Marshall, Hetherington, Cram, Retchless, Evans, Dymock. Replacements: Bawden, Moore, Stephenson, Gillett.
