Toronto Wolfpack made a big statement with a 30-26 victory over London Broncos in the fourth round of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup.

The Canadian newcomers have made an impressive start to their League 1 campaign and showed they would not be out of place in the Championship as they edged out the Broncos in Ealing on the road to Wembley.

The Wolfpack made a great start with two tries in the first seven minutes from their captain, Craig Hall, and Liam Kay and led 18-6 at half-time courtesy of a score from the former London forward Jack Bussey.

With Jonny Pownall and Rhys Jacks adding further tries in the second half and Hall taking his goal tally to five, the game looked over with the visitors leading 30-12.

The Broncos ran in three tries in the last 10 minutes, one of them from Jarrod Sammut, who finished with 14 points, to close the gap to four points. But they had left themselves too much to do.

Toronto will now go into the hat with the Super League clubs Leigh, Leeds, Huddersfield and Salford for Tuesday’s fifth-round draw.

In the other Challenge Cup tie Dewsbury Rams defeated Newcastle Thunder 36-8.

In Super League the Hull FC coach, Lee Radford, said he believes his side’s 32-12 victory over Widnes sets them up nicely for their clash with the reigning champions, Wigan.

It took the Black and Whites 31 minutes to go in front against a gritty Vikings side but they hit a purple patch early in the second half, scoring three tries in a six-minute spell, to secure a third straight win that lifts them up to second in the table, at least for 48 hours.

“First and foremost, I’m pleased with the result,” Radford said. “How we started the second half went a long way towards dictating the scoreline.

“I’m pleased with the way we went about our business. There was some fluency in what we did, which I said would come.

“It sets us up nicely for the fixture next week. Wigan at Wigan is a tough fixture and it’s one we’re looking forward to.”

Hull were boosted by the return of their captain, Gareth Ellis, from a two-match injury absence while the stand-off Albert Kelly continued his impressive start to the season with two tries for the third successive match.

Matt Parcell continued his bright start to life in Super League to inspire Leeds to a 38-14 victory over their neighbours Wakefield.

On the day the Rhinos announced they had agreed a settlement with the NRL club Cronulla over the hooker James Segeyaro his replacement Parcell ran the show as Leeds backed up last week’s demolition of Catalans.

Kallum Watkins opened his 2017 account with two first-half tries either side of Anthony Mullally’s powerful finish to give the Rhinos a commanding 20-4 half-time lead.

Ryan Hall went over early in the second period to end the match as a contest and further tries from Adam Cuthbertson and Parcell completed a comfortable win that sent Leeds back into the top four.

Wakefield could respond only through a Tom Johnstone double and David Fifita’s try as they failed to build on back-to-back victories over St Helens and Salford.
