Castleford Tigers moved top of Super League with a 40-6 drubbing of London Broncos and Salford Red Devils produced a storming comeback to beat Hull KR on Saturday.
The Tigers made it three wins out of three to replace Warrington Wolves at the summit, running in seven tries as the Broncos - with just one win out of four since being promoted to the top flight - were outclassed at Trailfinders Sports Club.
