Hull v Salford Match report

Last night saw two tries from Krisnan Inu helping Salford Red Devil’s to another win against Hull FC at the Halliwell Jones stadium. This can only boost the devils confidence ahead of the challenge cup semi final in a weeks time.

Salford started brightly and had an opportunity as Kris Welham crashed over the line from close range, unfortunately the try was disallowed for a knock on and Hull survived.

Hull opened the scoring as ex Salford favourite Josh Griffin burst through the Salford defence and fed Jamie Shaul who scored for the Airlie birds.

Salford levelled the scores after 18 minutes, Dan Sarginson and Kevin Brown linked up to send Krisnan Inu over the line to score. With Inu adding the extras the scores were tied.

Dan Sarginson was sent to the sin bin shortly after after he was penalised for a high tackle on Jamie Shaul and Salford had to play the next 10 minutes with 12 men.

The pressure built on Salford and Hull took advantage of their numerical advantage as Andre Savelio found a hole in the Salford defence to put Hull back in front.

Just before Dan Sarginson returned from the sin bin Salford hit back again through Joey Lussick, the Australian hooker showed all the speed and know how we have come to expect from him to find a gap near the Hull line to score. Inu added the extras to make it 12 all.

As Salford and Hull continued to push for a score with half time approaching The Red Devil’s were the team to get it, another piece of outrageous skill from  Brown sent Inu over for his 2nd try with the conversion good Salford lead at half time.

Half time came and went and Salford kept up their momentum as stand-off Tui Lolohea came up with a chip kick which sent winger Rhys Williams over for the score to extend Salford’s lead to 10 points.

Jamie Shaul pulled a try back for Hull after 51 minutes but Salford were unfazed by this as Andy Ackers restored their 10 point buffer after some more magic from Brown finding the hardworking hooker who bulldozed over from close range.

Salford had another try disallowed by the video referee this time from Lolahea and Hull closed the gap again with a try from Jordan Lane but Salford powered to the final hooter to secure the win.

Ian Watson will be happy with the performance and result and will be looking forward to what is to come  next weeks as the challenge cup semi final looms large.

Hull KR 12 Salford 0 Match Report

Devil In The Detail SRD · Golden point drama, Player of the year nominations and all roads lead to Hull KR Saturday nights all right for fighting, in the words of the song by Elton John. Both Hull Kingston Rovers and Salford were fighting for a place off spot. The Robins were in the box set, two points in front of Salford in fifth place but after Warrington lost at home to St.Helens on Friday night the Red Devils had destiny in their own hands. Victory would take Salford above Warrington and level on points with the Robins going in to the final round of matches next Friday. A 7:30pm kick off on a Saturday night is a pretty rare event in Rugby League. It seemed to add to the excitement and anticipation of both sets of supporters. Outside the ground the atmosphere was electric. These two sides have a bit of history between them in recent years and it’s fair to say Hull Kr have definitely had the upper hand in recent meeting between the two sides. The Robins have won eight of the last t

Salford 34 London 4 Match report

Salford Red Devils were made to work hard in the victory over London on Sunday at the Salford Community stadium.  Without  Ryan Brierley, Amir Bourouh, Cade Cust and Jack Ormondroyd in the starting 17 Paul Rowley selected Chris Hankinson at Fullback Joe Shorrocks at Hooker, Chris Atkin continued his half back partnership with Marc Sneyd and a graduate from Salford Red Devils development academy Nathan Connell took his place on the Bench. Salford had early pressure as repeat sets on the London line tested the broncos line. Unfortunately for the Red Devils  they were unable to come up with the score. As the 1st half went on it became littered with errors from both teams causing it to be a scrappy contest nether side really got hold of.  Salford thought they had opened the scoring when after a period of pressure resulted in a high kick from Marc Sneyd being collected by Salford Centre Nene McDonald who dived over the line in front of the South Stand. Unfortunately for Salford the video re

SALFORD 26 CASTLEFORD 22 MATCH REPORT

Image
Devil In The Detail SRD · Paul King Pop up Podcast Cast your mind back to Salford’s first Super League match at the new stadium. Just over twelve years ago, 4th February 2012 Salford played Castleford in the snow losing 10-24. It was a horrendous day weather wise and for me personally it took over two hours to get home at full time. A lot has happened in the world of Salford Red Devils since that day both on and off the pitch! The weather was fine and dry for this fixture with a hint of spring in the air. After a very encouraging display at Leeds last Friday a home fixture was the perfect opportunity to get 2024 up and running.  Paul Rowley made just one change to his starting thirteen with loose forward Joe Shorrocks replacing the injured Oliver Partington, while Castleford fielded an unchanged starting 13 from last weekend. The Red Devils dominated the opening stages with plenty of possession as they battered the Tigers try line. Former Salford hero Malcolm Alker was proudly rememb
