London Broncos may have been given a new lease of life financially, but they were very much back in the old routine at Odsal.

Winners only once in 14 previous trips to Bradford, they conceded over 40 points for the third successive visit in a 48-22 defeat.

But despite their much-publicised financial problems during the week, the Broncos were expected to produce more after their impressive 72-8 win over Wakefield in their last outing.

They promised much in the early stages with New Zealand international scrum-half Thomas Leuluai leading the way.

But Bradford took control with a strong second-half display, scrum-half Paul Deacon claiming 20 points from two tries and six goals and stand-off Iestyn Harris having a big influence in the nine-try win.
