HULL KR 46 SALFORD 22

Salford got the perfect start as Greg Johnson some how squeezed over in what seemed an impossible situation in the corner! Tommy Lee missed the conversion 0-4.

There was confusion at the back for Salford from Dane Chisholms high kick as Salford knocked on. A penalty soon followed for off side and Chris Welham scored on his farewell apperance for Rovers to tie the scores at 4-4.

Hull kr hit the front 3 minutes later as George Lawlor went over from another good kick from Chisholm. Mantellato added the extras  10-4.
Chris Welham spilled the ball from the kick off and Salford took full advantage as Harrison Hansen scooted over, Ben Jones Bishop converted 10-10.

It was a great spell in the game from Salford and another try soon followed when Lama Tasi crashed over off Adrian Morleys off load! Jones Bishop goaled 10-16.

A lovely offload from the ever busy Logan Tomkins sent young Ryan Lannon over! the academey captain worked hard and didnt look out of place in the first team. Jones Bishop again goaled to give salford a 10-22 lead at half time.
There were four of salford academy players in the side in Ryan Lannon, Jake Bibby, Luke Menzies and Josh Wood.
Salford started brightly in the second half as Gregg Jonson cut loose outwide only to spill the ball.

Rovers then seized there chance and Josh Mantellato scored in what was the turning point of the game. there was a complete momentum change and ten minutes into the second half rovers were level when Ken Sio scored 22-22.

After that there were very few highlights for Salford as Rovers scored another four tries without reply from Chisholm, Mccarthy, Cockayne and Blair to complete a 36-0 second half turn around.

It was a disappointing afternoon for the travelling Salford supporters who were there in numbers again.
There was a nice proud moment at full time for Adrian Morley as both teams formed a guard of honour as he retired from rugby league after a fantastic carreer!
