Warrington 30 Salford 14 Match report

It was a night to remember for a rugby legend as Salford and Warrington came together to celebrate the career of Lee Mossop.

The ex Salford Captain who lead the club to Super League and Challenge Cup Finals was presented to both teams and the crowd before the game and was given a warm welcome on a cold night at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Paul Rowley and Darrell Powell opted to field youthful sides with a mix of 1st team sqaud members, Salford fielded new signing Tim Lafai who showed some good touches early on as both teams prepared for the start of Super League next week.

Warrington opened the scoring as fullback Josh Thewlis cut through the Salford defence to score.

Approaching half time Salford built pressure and we’re rewarded when Ryan Lannon showed great strength to get the ball down under pressure to register Salfords 1st score of the night.

As time ticked on towards half time it was a ex Salford loanee who scored a crucial try for Warrington, Ellis Robson showed great strength to burrow his way over the line for the Wolves and Salford went into half time trailing 12-4.

The 2nd half was all change on the field as Paul Rowley rotated his squad and gave young talent a change to shine, lead by the all action hooker Adam Holt and forward Bradley Calland they were rewarded when impressive halfback Jack Steven’s found space and created a try for Salford winger and England lion Joseph Brady.

 Salford had momentum and pegged Warrington back further as 6’ 2 18 stone Welsh forward Jacob Lee used his strength to carry several Warrington defenders over the line to score much to the delight of himself, his team mates and the travelling Salford Support.

Unfortunately for Salford they were unable to build further on the momentum and Warrington scored 3 tries, a 2nd for Jake Thewlis, 1 for Jack Derbyshire and 1 for Ellis Longstaff in the last 20 minutes gave the score line a lob sides look.

Paul Rowleys boys were full of effort throughout. Centre Mylers Dalton Harrop, Full back Calum Green and loose forward Daniel Spencer Tonks were the standout performers but as a unit all of the Salford youth should be celebrated.
They will be looking forward to further outings in the reserves as the season goes on

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
