Super League: London Broncos 22-36 Warrington Wolves

Tai burst through a hole and stretched over the line for an early lead, and the visitors went further ahead when Ashton picked Ethan Natoli’s pass and raced 80 metres.

Yet the Broncos had started well and quickly hit back through the in-form Rourke, who fooled Sam Powell with a dummy before bursting through for his fifth try in six Super League appearances.

However, the hosts continued to find ways to undo their good work, and turnover ball allowed Warrington to work their way upfield and Vaughan crashed over from close range.

Warrington were ruthless again after a spell of heavy London pressure went unrewarded, as Ashton broke from his own half to create a two-on-one and sent King away.

Bienek barged past Josh Drinkwater to cut the deficit to 22-10 – the very least Broncos warranted for their part in an entertaining first half.

Holroyd somehow got the ball down, with three Broncos clinging on, to extend the lead after the break, but still the hosts wouldn’t buckle.

Sam Davis picked up a loose ball and dived over, and when Catalans loanee Ugo Tison picked up Rhys Kennedy’s speculative offload and ran in, London were back in it at 28-22.

Drinkwater’s penalty took Warrington out to two scores, but despite playing the final nine minutes with 12 after Kennedy’s sinbinning for a high tackle, London mounted a late assault.

Yet summing up a topsy-turvy, enthralling encounter, Ashton raced away for his second interception try to bring up his century in the final seconds.
