 | London (36) 72 Tries: Dorn 2, Hopkins 2, Smith 2, Greenwood 2, Armour, McLinden, Leuluai, Purdham Goals: Sykes 12 Wakefield (0) 8 Tries: Griffin, Jeffries |
Rampant London ran in 12 tries as they ended Wakefield's unbeaten start to the season in stunning fashion. The Broncos were simply too hot to handle, with Luke Dorn, Lee Hopkins, Tyrone Smith and Lee Greenwood all crossing twice for the home side.
Paul Sykes kicked another 24 points for London as they moved up to second in the Engage Super League table.
Ben Jeffries and Darrell Griffin scored tries for Wakefield but they were scant consolation for Shane McNally's side.
Rob Purdham opened the scoring after 11 minutes for Broncos and it was pretty much one-way traffic in the first half.
It was more of the same in the second half.

London kicked off and immediately forced a goal line drop-out, Sykes' kick being gathered just inside the field of play but the gang of tacklers forced the runner over his own line.
It did not take long for another Wakefield error to be punished with a try.
Jamie Rooney was caught in possession on the last tackle and his desperation pass fell into no-man's land and Dorn picked the ball up and passed to Greenwood who scampered 60m for the London try.
Next to go over was substitute Mark McLinden who went over from dummy half, evading three tackles.
Before Wakefield could touch the ball again, Smith had grabbed his second try of the afternoon.
In the 65th minute Wildcats finally got on the ball when Griffin pushed his way through two tackles to touch down, but Rooney's kick clanged off the post to sum up Wakefield's miserable day.
London then ran in three more tries in eight minutes and Sykes' conversion set a new club record for goals in a game.
In the final moments, Wakefield scored a second consolation try when Jeffries went over in the corner - but there was no celebrations from the visiting fans.
