Salford Red Devils battled bravely but unfortunately came back from Humberside with no points as they went down 24-20 against Hull FC.
Salford started brightly when Kevin Locke scored his 3rd try in 2 games brilliantly caughting a towering bomb to touched down. Theo Fages' penalty put Salford further ahead.
Hull hit back when Tom Lineham's turn of pace beat the Salford defence for Hull's first try, during his celebration he abused a match official and was sin binned.
Salford got to half time leading 6-8 and belief began to grow that Salford with all the injuries and Suspensions could get a win.
Salford started the 2nd half on top with a Greg Johnson's offload bounced nicely for Joe Greenwood to score giving Salford a 8 point lead.
Hull though a powerful Talanoa effort brought Hull to within two points and the game was back in the mix.
Salford extended their lead again on loan centre Gildart pounced just before the dead-ball line to score for Salford, but Hull's Minichiello powered over from close range to reduce the gap to two once again.
After a glut of penalties Hulls Sa broke Salford hearts scoring the game-winning try under the posts with 6 minutes to go despite some desperate defence .
Salford were brave, with injuries and suspensions hitting the squad hard. The players gave everything they had to try and get a result but unfortunately couldn't hang on at the end.
But as fans we could not ask for any more from the players. They are doing it tough at the moment but effort, commitment and heart is all us fans can ask for and we had lots of it last night
