London Broncos halted their slide with an eight-try win over fellow strugglers Castleford Tigers at The Jungle.

Castleford scored two tries in the first seven minutes, through captain Ryan Hudson and Darren Rogers.

But the Broncos responded with tries from Lee Greenwood (2) and Joe Mbu to take control.

Castleford briefly went back in front through Tom Saxton and Sean Rudder tries, but Broncos ran in four second half efforts to claim a rare away win.

The Tigers staged a late rally, with Sean Ryan, Paul Newlove and Tom Saxton all going over.

Newlove's touch down on his home debut was his 100th in Super League, but it was all too late for the Tigers and their under-pressure coach Graham Steadman.

In my 13 years at the club as a player and a coach it is one of the most dire performances I have witnessed

Paul Sykes scored five conversions for the Broncos, who also got tries from Jon Wells, Nigel Roy, Scott Murrell and Dennis Morgan (2).

The Broncos climbed above Salford with their first win on their travels since last September, but the Tigers remain at the foot of the table after a sixth successive defeat.

Steadman was furious with his team's display.

"In my 13 years at the club as a player and a coach it is one of the most dire performances I have witnessed," fumed Steadman.

"I knew all week London would come with a basic game plan and feed off our errors - and, boy, did we make some.

"There have been some harsh words. It is just not acceptable to concede eight tries against a struggling side."

In contrast, London coach Tony Rea was delighted with his side's first away win for seven months.

"We have been saying that you should make the game simple and clinical for yourselves and that's exactly what we did in the second half," he said.

"The first 30 minutes in the second half was just what I wanted to see.

"I thought Mitch Stringer played really well and Steve Trindall has been outstanding."
