Gairo Voro showed exactly why the PNG Chiefs have signed him<\/a> for their inaugural NRL season in 2028 with the London Broncos playmaker setting two club records this weekend.<\/p>\n

London continued their dominance of the Championship as they recorded a 16th win from 16 games and the records are continuing to fall, with Voro breaking the Broncos\u2019 record for most points in a game and the most tries in a game.<\/p>\n

He scored seven tries and added 16 more points from conversions to rack up a solo points tally of 44 in London\u2019s 78-16 win over Hunslet RLFC, who fought valiantly against the far superior opposition.<\/p>\n

Voro\u2019s most dominant spell came between the 48th and 66th minute as he scored four tries with his seventh and final try coming in the 80th minute. Full-back Alex Walker also scored a hat-trick in the one-sided win with the Broncos now having racked up an incredible 1,021 points this season, an average of more than 63 points per match.<\/p>\n

They sit four points clear atop the Championship with three club chasing behind on 28 points but only one of those played this weekend as Oldham beat Batley 20-14, with full-back Jack Walker making his 150th career appearance.<\/p>\n

Widnes Vikings snapped their run of defeats as they beat Goole 52-0 to move fifth in the table whilst Salford RLFC were other big winners as they put 64 past North Wales and moved level on points with 10th-placed Batley.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s significant because the Championship will have a 10-team play-off system this year meaning that several clubs, even as low as 18th are still in the mix.<\/p>\n

One side who cannot make the play-offs but did win this weekend was Halifax Panthers as they knocked off 18th-placed Swinton with a 30-22 win, with the Panthers now finally in the positive for points after a 12-point deduction earlier in the year.<\/p>\n
