Bradford 48 Tries: Deacon 2, Johnson, R Paul, Meyers, Langley, Pryce, Vainikolo 2 Goals: Deacon 6 London 22 Tries: Dorn, Haumono, Sykes, Smith Goals: Sykes 3

The Bulls had a superb second-half, led by scrum-half Paul Deacon, who scored 20 points from two tries and six goals.

And stand-off Iestyn Harris was also a big influence in the nine-try win after giant winger Lesley Vainikolo had given the hosts a sixth-minute lead.

London rallied briefly with a Luke Dorn try and two goals from Paul Sykes, but they were then outplayed.

At 12-6 down, Bradford began to press hard and often, Paul Johnson crossing on the overlap after good work by Leon Pryce and hooker Robbie Paul.

I'm not blaming defeat on anything about the club's future Tony Rea London coach

The Bulls tightened their grip just before the interval when 18-year-old Karl Pryce intercepted a pass from Mark McLinden to race clear of all chasers from 80 metres.

And they were rampant on the restart with two tries in a five-minute spell, both created by Harris, with Aussie prop Brad Meyers and Paul the scorers.

Afterwards, London coach Tony Rea refused to blame the defeat on the financial situation surrounding the club.

"We trained well during the week and I think we showed some good signs, but we just didn't get the job done.

"However I'm not blaming that on anything that has been going on about the club's future."
