Entertaining London moved up to third in the Super League table with a 12-try demolition of struggling Widnes.

Winger Nick Bradley-Qalilawa touched down twice in the first 15 minutes as the Broncos finished the half 36-0 up.

They extended their lead after the break, with John Kirkpatrick and Luke Dorn both grabbing two tries apiece.

The Vikings scored two tries through winger Aaron Moule, but it was not enough to stop them from crashing to their fifth defeat of the season.

Goalkicker Paul Sykes weighed in with another 18 points while Zeb Luisi went 80 metres following a London scrum in the shadows of their own posts.

Widnes coach Frank Endacott says his team have big problems following their crushing defeat.

It was an embarrassment out there... we are banged about real bad
Frank Endacott
"We are in a hole. It is not that deep but we've got to get out of it really fast," said the New Zealander.

"It was an embarrassment out there, especially when we thought we would get the points today.

"We lost all our changes after 33 minutes, so we had to go the rest of the way with the same 13. We are banged about real bad."

I'd like to compliment Widnes... there's a lot of real character out there
Tony Rea
London coach Tony Rea paid tribute to Widnes despite the one-sided win.

"We saw that they had nobody on their interchange bench for the second half so they had to use the same 13 players," he said.

"I'd like to compliment Widnes. There's a lot of real character out there."

Rea also praised his own side, in particular Mark Tookey and Steve Trindell, saying: "They worked really hard because we had no other props."
