Bradford Bulls 24, London Broncos 6 -There were few signs of any Twickenham jitters as the Bulls maintained their 100 per cent league and cup record.

And, when they eased 24-0 ahead two minutes after the break, few would have bet against them sitting on top of Super League this morning.

A 34-point winning margin would have taken them above Wigan but not for the first time they were frustrated by the Broncos blanket defence.

They've seldom made life easy for the Bulls during the summer era and their array of hardened NRL campaigners ensured this was to be no different.

Referee Colin Morris didn't help either by allowing some blatant lying on in a performance which underlined why he's seen almost exclusively these days in the Northern Ford Premiership.

It meant the spectacle petered away badly in the final half-hour but there was still plenty to admire in what promises to be a tricky period up to that big day in the capital at the end of the month.

At a time when the three-quarters are struggling to fire, one of the biggest plusses was the performance of Leon Pryce.

It's been a frustrating spell for the 19-year-old as he battles back to full fitness after his close season shoulder surgery but he will certainly make Brian Noble's cup final selection a little easier if he can maintain this form.

"Getting Leon back has been fantastic for us," admitted the highly satisfied coach. "It was only his third game after his shoulder reconstruction but he showed just what an exciting player he is.

He capped his show with arguably the best try of the game too.

Lee Radford deserves credit for somehow slipping the ball out when seemingly enveloped on the left and some crisp handling, principally from Henry Paul and Scott Naylor gave Pryce the chance to skip out of a tackle to plonk the ball down in the corner.

Confidence soaring, he then produced a dazzling effort which ended with a chip-and-chase which prop Justin Dooley did well to cover.

Pryce had earlier been denied another by a marginal forward pass ruling after James Lowes had picked up Henry Paul's chip kick.

But the Bulls still got their first-half reward for some high-speed approach work.

First Shane Rigon helped banish his McAlpine blues with a typically direct burst for the line after his own grubber had slipped out of Richie Barnett's grasp to allow them to keep the pressure on.

The Broncos dug-in for a spell though and it needed two key contributions from Lowes for the Bulls' greater attacking prowess to be reflected in the half-time scoreline.

Boosted by the arrival of Paul Anderson and Stuart Fielden, they suddenly started to make more inroads and Lowes picked up the pieces by finishing off a great move involving Henry Paul and Spruce.

Then the wily hooker drew in the defence by working a neat run-around with Mike Forshaw, and Anderson timed his run perfectly to blast his way through the Broncos defence from 20 metres, pictured.

You couldn't say they weren't warned following Anderson's one-man destruction job in the semi-final. Knowing the threat is one thing; being able to stop it was clearly something else.

But despite Pryce's early strike in the second half they were never able to kick-on and the impressive Jim Dymock worked the only other score of the half for the Broncos with a neat kick for Tony Martin to touch down.

Brett Warton had a late effort ruled out after Dymock's pass was ruled forward and some steely Bulls defensive work was needed to prevent them reducing the deficit further.

It wasn't pretty at times but the opposition rarely give cup finalists an easy ride and if the Bulls cope as professionally with Wakefield, Wigan and Hull there'll be few complaints.
