Saints outmuscled the Broncos four tries to one with Sean Long (2) and Willie Talau scoring in the first half for a 20-6 lead.

Darren Smith added another late four pointer in the second half, while Andrew King was London's only try-scorer in the first period.

Great Britian scrum-half Long's 100th try for Saints keeps the Super League champions on course for a fourth Grand Final appearance in five years.
