Salford 30 Widnes 10 match report

Salford secured another league win to keep their journey to the top 8 on course with victory against Widnes. Paul Whiteside with all the details.

 Salford Red Devil's were back in league action today with the visit of Widnes Vikings. The visitors had seen big improvements in recent weeks with a good home win against St Helens last Friday. Salford gave a debut to young forward Daniel Murray and Niall Evalds returned at full back for the injured Gareth O Brien. The other significant change came on the wing were Jake Bibby took Justin Carneys place. 

 

The first 20 minutes were a tight affair Evalds was great under the high ball and also looking very sharp in attack. The Salford defence was looking really solid. Adam Walne and Lami Tasi coming up with some huge hits. The half way point sees the introduction of Kris Brining and Craig Kopczack. 

There is an instant impact with Brinings sharpness at the play the ball and good distribution, Ben Murdoch Masila is over for the first try. Michael Dobson adds the goal 6-0. Widnes are not really offering much in attack but a lot of that is down to Salford's excellent defensive work. 

Kris Welham is proving to be a nightmare for opposing defences when his fantastic kick through finds the speedy Greg Johnson who races in. Dobson gets the luck with the conversation in off the post 12-0.

Joe Mellor the Widnes stand off looks the most likely to break the Salford resistance. The Red Devil's goal line defence stays firm. Just before the break Michael Dobson was taken off for a concussion assessment. 

 The second half opens up with another great piece of full back play from Evalds who seems to be growing in confidence taking everything the vikings throw at him. 

 

Widnes get the first points of the second half after just four minutes keeping the ball alive on the last tackle. Half back Tom Gilmore scores the try and adds the extra two 12-6.

Next up sees a real piece of magic from Robert Lui. His sublime reverse kick finds Niall Evalds who darts over for a well deserved try. Dobson kicks the goal to edge Salford further in front at 18-6. 

Salford's attack is starting to click in to gear and another flash kick through from Dobson looks to find Evalds who's pace is frightening. The bounce just Evalds him to deny what would of been a sensational score. 

The Vikings though were not for giving in. Patrick Ah Van crashing over in the corner with 17 minutes to go. Gilmore fails to convert 18-10. 

Michael Dobson kicked a penalty goal on the 68th minute 20-10. The final ten minutes however belonged to Salford. Lama Tasi busts right through the heart of the vikings in another thrilling attack. Dobson's clever kick forces a drop out. The pressure is to much for the Vikings and Lui's  pass finds Masila who charges to the line carrying three defenders over showing sheer power! The crowd are on there feet as Dobson kicks the goal 26-10.

 

The final action sees Jake Bibby in the right place at the right time taking Josh Jones offload to score. The youngster was excellent all afternoon showing real strength going forward and was brilliant under the high ball in defence. Dobson goal hits the post 30-10. 

Another solid display from Salford. Ian Watson was happy with how the young players had dealt with the pressure. Without pack stars lee Mossop and George Griffin the young Devils Daniel Murray and Ryan Lannon showed there is competition for places throughout this squad. 

A huge game away at Wigan is next up next Friday. It's 20 years since Salford won that particular away fixture. The way this side are playing though it should be a great night. It's back up to third place in the table.

SALFORD V TORONTO big match preview

Salford Red Devil's take on Toronto Wolfpack in the challenge cup this Sunday. It's going to be a great game. Read our preview below

 

Battle 1 

Dobson v Jacks

Both halfbacks have been outstanding for the respective sides this season and I see this battle as being a good one to watch. As I have said in many battles this season Michael Dobson has been a real leader for the Red Devil's this season and the partnership with him and Rob Lui has caused most opponents trouble in 2017. His kicking game has been very good and to watch him control the attack along with Lui has been magical at times this season. This season he also has crossed the try line a few times and will no doubt look to build on this come 12:15 on Sunday.

Rhys Jacks has been a bit of an unknown quantity with the Wolfpack. The halfback,like Dobson has really been a key player for the Canadian side and I believe there huge point scoring has been brought on by his fantastic playmaking skills and organisation. I have watched most of The Wolfpacks games this season and I hope the Devils won't rely on their super league experience come game time as this will be a very very tough encounter.

 

Battle 2

BMM v MoiMoi

Probably 2 of the biggest men in the game come head to head on Sunday and I for one am looking forward to seeing this. Since signing his new 3 year deal with the Reds BMM has really shown what he is capable off both on attack and defence. The hard running big hitting forward has scored some quality tries this season and on his day is unstoppable at times. 

If you are a fan of rugby league in general you all know the name Fui Fui Moi Moi. The ex New Zealand international prop forward has made a career on big performances and his ability to break a defence down with some strong runs has been sensational over the years. Coming to the end of his career unlike BMM the ex Leigh man will no doubt want to show what he is capable of against quality Super League opponents at the AJ Bell on Sunday.

 

Battle 3

Mossop v Bailey

These 2 man mountains will come head to head in the game this weekend and expect fire works from both men. Mossop as I have said before has been a great addition to the Red Devil's forward line and will look to again show his worth against some good opposition. His no nonsense style of play really stands out and his ability to get over the game line is what has impressed me and a lot of Salford fans in 2017. 

Ryan Bailey has been handed a life line from Toronto in 2017 as most thought after his exit from Warrington at the end of 2016 would be his last in rugby league. The league one side have looked to Bailey to add some super league experience to their ranks and I think Bailey is the right man for that job. At the age of 32 Bailey believe his still has what it takes to be a solid performer and will look to try and silence the vocal supporters from Salford on Sunday.

Ex Reds

 

Adam Sidlow, Jake Emmitt and Andrew Dixon wore the Red shirt with pride during their time at Salford and will be looking to cause a cup upset on Sunday.

Hull 18 Salford 54 Match Report

  

Salford put on a stunning 10 try performance against Hull FC last night, Here is Paul Whitesides view on this game which will live long in the memory.

Salford travelled to Humberside in search of there first league win at hull FC since a 15-20 success in January 1995! Confidence was flowing through the team after three good victories and a top display last week against St. Helens.

It was a nervy opening for Salford with Jamie Shaul busting through before Mark Sneyds pin point kick was palmed on to Steve Michaels for the opening try of the game. Sneyds kicked the goal and it was  6-0 Hull.

Hull then get back to back penalties and cautiously take the two points to edge there lead to 8-0.

Salford hit back when Logan Tomkins scoots from dummy half setting Robert Lui up for a fine try. Michael Dobson kicks the goal 8-6.

 

With 18 minutes gone the penalty count is stacking against Salford when referee Gareth Hewer put the Red Devil's on a team warning. Despite that Salford were over again though Mark Flanagan found Gareth O Brien with a lovely pass and with his soft hands send Greg Johnson over in the corner. Dobson couldnt convert but Salford lead 8-10.

The Red Devil's started to really up the tempo, Lui's clever kick trapped Shaul in goal. Salford started to attack with real menace Logan Tomkins put Craig kopzack over  and with the conversion by Dobson Salford lead 8-16. 

The tenth penalty of the game after 25 minutes sees Hull put on a team warning. Salford took full advantage making the pressure tell when Kopczack stumbles over the line. O Brien kicks the goal and it's 8-22. Another attack happened and Sau powered over as Salford looked unstoppable with ball in hand O Brien can't convert 8-26.

 

Mark Sneyd is sin binned with 5 minutes of the first half remaining and Salford took full advantage Kris Welham sent Greg Johnson over. Robert Lui was tremendous, dangerous with the ball and his clever kicking punished Hull. There is time for another score just before the break when Tomkins throws a wonderful pass to Junior Sau who sends Justin Carney over the travelling support sent into ecstasy. O Brien can't convert but Salford lead 8-34 at half time.

 

Hull started the second half looking to get back into the game and with two quick tries from Shaul and Michaels the Red Devil's were pegged back to 18-34. Salford had to dig in and weather a real storm as the hone side start to off load and look dangerous.

Just before the hour mark Todd Carney entered the fray with Rob Lui moving to hooker. Justin Carney is sin binned while in possession from punching at what looks a crucial stage of the match. 

Todd Carney sends a fine pass out to Greg Johnson who cuts in field and it's Robert Lui who puts Michael Dobson in to extinguish any hopes of a Hull comeback. The kick is successful to steady the ship at 18-40. 

 

There was another thrilling Salford break from Ben Murdoch Masila, Greg Johnson was stopped just short and Shaul was sinbinned for holding down. O Brien wisely takes the two points on offer to take the sting out of the march 18-42.

 Salford are not done scoring yet and continue to move the ball with superb fluidity. George Griffin galloping through a huge gap in the hull defence 18-48! Finally Murdoch Masila puts the icing on the Salford cake bursting through to score in the corner where the Salford faithful are gathered. O Brien kicks the goal 18-54! 

A superb ten try demolition of Hull FC.

Speaking after the game Salford's coach Ian Watson was cautious and knows there is a lot of hard work to be done! There were patches in the match where Salford can improve and a tough Good Friday game against local rivals Leigh awaits! 

After plenty of big defeats at hull FC over the years it was great to turn the tables tonight! The momentum is building and the manner of this victory will make the rest of the Super League sit up and take note of the wonderful work Ian Watson and his staff are doing!

super league review

 
It's been another great weekend in Super league, Check out our review of all the action here

 

 

Salford Red Devil's 22 St Helens 14

Salford continued their winning run with a battling display against St Helens.  Salfords 1st half was strong and were rewarded when Craig Kopcjack scored and Salford lead 8-0 at half time.

Saints came back in the 2nd half with a try from Alex Warmsley but a double from Michael Dobson made the game safe for Salford.

 

Leeds Rhino 26 Wigan 18

Leeds Rhinos overcame a spirited Wigan to record another win at Headingley. The highlight for Leeds was Kalum Watkins who was celebrating his 200th career appearance going over for the Rhinos.

 

George Williams scored twice for Wigan but it wasn't enough on the night. Another defeat for Wigan which makes them slip towards mid table in Super league.

 

Castleford 52 Huddersfield 16

Luke Gale and Joel Monaghan both scored hatricks for Castleford to keep them top of the pile

Leading 16-4 at half time Castleford were in contol, Ryan Brierley hit back with a try for the Giants in the 2nd half but a 24 point contribution by Luke Gale gave Castleford the win.

Catalan 18 Wakefield 38

It was a very successful trip to the south of France for Wakefield as a hatrick by ex Red Ben Jones Bishop gave them the two points.

Wakefield were never in danger of losing this game, two tries for Catalan one from Krisnan Inu was the highlight for them but it was Trinity who came away victorious.

 

Leigh Centurions 24 Widnes Vikings 37

Widnes recorded their 1st win of 2017 by beating Leigh.

The Vikings were made to work hard for the win and lead 18-12 at half time.

A hatrick for Danny Craven was enough for the Vikings after a spirited performance and a try from Danny Tickle was as good as it got for Leigh.

 

Warrington 22 Hull 22

Both sides will look back at this game as one they should have won.  Hull lead 20-8 at half time with a try from Albert Kelly but back came Warrington.

A Marty Russell hatrick saved Warrington and even tho both sides tried to win the game at the end a draw was a fair result. Ex Red Mark Sneyd kicked 5 goals.

Salford v St Helens big match preview

Salford Red Devil's host St Helens on Thursday night at the AJ bell and it looks to be a fantastic match up Dan Robinson looks at where the battle will be won and lost.

 

 

The battles

 

Battle 1 

Carney v Swift

After last weeks fantastic performance Justin Carney is starting to look like his old self again and really seems to be enjoying life as a Devil. The explosive running winger has finally got on the score sheet this season and will no doubt look to double his tally on Thursday night.

Possible England candidate Swift has also been going well for the visitors this season and has done since he came into the scene wearing the saints jersey. Swift certainly has the speed element but can he cope with the power of Carney or Johnson? We shall see.

 

Battle 2

Lee Mossop v  Kyle Amor

After missing out last week against Widnes the 2017 England candidate will no doubt want to be in the team this week against his former sides closer rival. Mossop has really put in some strong performances which hasn't gone unnoticed. His determination to get over the game line has really helped the Devils get on the front foot this season.

Kyle Amor for Saints has also been very good this campaign so far and calls for him to get a call up to the international scene have been made by many saints supporters. Very much like Mossop his no nonsense style of play helps the saints in the middle of the park. This will be a very good battle Thursday night for sure

 

Battle 3

Michal Dobson v Marty Smith 

For me this is the battle that will win the game for either side. Dobson has been such an asset this season and his kicking game will be key if the Devils are to get the points on Thursday. Hopefully he can continue from last week and the link between him, Lui, Carney and Obrien will be crucial.

Ex Salford halfback Smith hasn't had the best start to 2017 after suffering a broken leg. His return to the side last week helped the Saints get the points against a battered Wolves side. Which number 7 will be the one smiling come Thursday night we shall see.

widnes v Salford match report

 

Salford travelled to Widnes looking for back to back wins for the first time this season. Logan Tomkins came up with a terrific try saving tackle as Salford's goal line defence was put under early pressure. 

Some strong running from the pack earned good field position and Lami Tasi powers over for the opening try. O Brien kicks the goal 0-6. Next up a lovely flowing move from the Red Devil's Gaz O'Brien finds Kris Welham who gave Greg Johnson a chance. There is still work to be done but Greg stepped inside superbly to touchdown. O Brien misses the kick 0-10 Salford.

 

Salford's continued to put pressure on Widnes with some great defence. The Vikings come up with an error deep in there own half and Salford pounce. George Griffin went over from close range O'Brien failed to convert but Salford were in control at 0-14. 

The lead soon increases with a try this time from Ben Murdoch Masila. Michael Dobson is successful with the conversation and at 0-20 it was all Salford.

The team really start to turn the screw Greg Johnson races 60 yards after picking up a loose ball. The ball ends up with centre Kris Welham who finishes brilliantly in the corner. Michael Dobson kicks well and it's 0-26. 

 

The Salford supporters behind the sticks are enjoying every second and it's a great away following. A nice kick to touch and there looks nothing on but the Red Devil's chase is tremendous as the force the Widnes player in touch. Salford's enthusiasm is outstanding, racing to form the scrum. Excellent centre play from Junior Sa'u putting Justin Carney over for his first try of the season right on half time. Dobson fails to convert but it's a special first half from Salford 0-30 at the break.

It's a bit of a sloppy start to the second half with a few penalties conceded and Widnes take advantage with Corey Thompson going over 4-30.

There was a welcoming roar when Todd Carney entered the field for his debut. Moments later Justin Carney makes a great burst and charges down the pitch. Todd throws out a speculative pass to Sa'u who cuts loose and Michael Dobson is in support to score a well deserved try O'Brien kicks the goal 4-36.

 

Holes are starting to appear all over for the Widnes defence and Robert Lui is next on the try scoring list with a huge smile on his face it is well deserved! O brien couldn't convert 4-40. Todd Carney started to find his feet and made another Salford break. Players are queuing up to score and Gaz O'Brien strolled in. Dobson kicked the goal 4-46. Rhys Hansbury gets the final score of the game a consolation for the Vikings! 

It's an outstanding display from Salford demolishing Widnes. Ian Watson was delighted with attack and defence a real solid team performance! The whole feeling around the club at the moment is positive and Salford are definitely building momentum. St. Helens come to the AJ Bell next Thursday but in this form Salford won't fear anybody! Widnes 10 Salford 46. Paul whiteside

Widnes v Salford big match preview

Salford Red Devil's travel to Widnes full of confidence after last weeks win against Castleford Dan Robinson looks where the battles maybe won and lost on Friday.

 

Battle 1 The wingers

Justin Carney v Corey Thompson

Both players have had big impacts since joining the respective sides and have both shown the fans what they can do. Carney a big powerful running winger in my opinion has been a very good performer since his arrival from Cas. His ability to return a kick is second to none and he makes us a lot of yards going forward.

Thompson had a great 2016 with the Viking scoring a lot of tries. He has a very good eye for a kick and this battle for me will really be key and who ever keeps the other quite will taste success at the end of the game

 

Battle 2 The Big Men

BMM v Chris Houston

Last weeks performance from BMM was incredible. His second try was a bit like Josh Jones at Huddersfield the way he bounced the defenders off to score under the posts. Since his disappointment at Wakefield he really did put a shift in and is a really important cog in our attack.

Houston is a strong running second rower who is also a very good defensive player. The very experienced Australian will no doubt look to lead by example on Friday night.

 

Battle 3 The 2 point men

Gaz O'Brien V Rhys Hanbury

Both excellent goal kickers this battle I believe will be the battle for the 2 pointers. Both kickers will look to convert all attempts in order to maximise the points on the day. Could it be another Drop Goal master class from Obrien? Or will it be Hanbury that slots the points to win the game.

SALFORD RED DEVILS 13 CASTLEFORD 12 match report

There was a real buzz in the air at the AJ Bell stadium as league leaders Castleford tigers visited! Castleford were top of the table after 4 wins beating Leigh,Warrington,Leeds and Widnes all quite convincingly with lots of points posted! The pundits had made the Tigers very strong favourites during the week. 

 

It was a cagey opening as both sides tested each other out. Castleford opened the scoring when Luke Gales high kick was allowed to bounce by Greg Johnson, Gale followed up to score a simple try and slotted the conversation over 0-6. 

Salford's first real chance arrived but O Briens kick through is just to long for Junior Sau and went dead in goal. Both defences are on top not giving much away. 

After 29 minutes Robert Lui forced a drop out with a neat grubber kick. Mark Flanagan grafting as usual finds Lui with a great pass, Lui feeds Ben Murdoch Masila who hits a superb line to crash over in the corner. O Brien misses the kick 4-6.

 

With the clock counting down to half time Salford are penalised for not playing the ball correctly. The Tigers piled on the pressure but Salford's goal line defence is excellent. 

Greg Johnson does well to palm the ball dead from a dangerous kick. Cas attack from the drop out with Micheal Shenton putting Greg Eden in but referee Phil Bentham blows for a forward pass. Half time 4-6.

The first points of the second half come fairly early as Junior Sau loses the ball in centre field. Greg Minikin takes Salford's defenders over the line with him to score a strange try! Michael Dobson seemed to drag the cas man over the line. Gales kick from the touch line is good to nudge the Tigers further ahead at 4-12. 

Surely another try for the Tigers would clinch the match but next came a real turning point. Robert Lui puts a huge kick up causing panic at the back for cas. Zak hardacker throws a leg at it, it bounces kindly and Salford regather. The Red Devil's pile the pressure on as there roared on by the home support. Murdoch Masila takes the ball forward, looks like there is nothing on but he powers through towards the line. There is a cheer from the crowd as he gets the ball down, referee Bentham awards the try and the stadium erupts! O Brien kicks the goal 10-12. 

 

Salford have got Castleford on the ropes and force the Tigers to knock on with some tenacious defence! Adam Walne, Lee Mossop and Masila were outstanding! Olsi krasniqi and George Griffin also put big shifts in! Olsi landing on his front with quick play the balls for Kris Brining and Logan Tomkins to inflict some damage. 

With 15 minutes remain the match was on a knife edge. Substitute Todd Carney prowled the touch line waiting for his chance. Bentham awards Salford a penalty bang in front of the sticks! The screams of take the two reverb round the stadium! O Brien does just that and the scores are level at 12-12! 

The clock counts down as both sides start to think about a drop goal. The desire in defence from Salford is relentless and cas make the mistake! This was the time for Salford to strike! Three minutes remain Gareth O Brien gets in range and calmly slots the drop goal. Salford lead 13-12! 

Inevitably cas try a short kick off but the Red Devil's are wise to it and play their set out. The Tigers get one more shot and come charging forward! Salford pressure Gale and Paul McShane the likely drop goal merchants! The relief round the stadium is deafening as Micheal Dobson pounces on the loose ball and he hoofs the ball in to touch as the full time hooter sounds! Coming back from 4-12 down against Super Leagues form team shows how far this team has progressed! The team spirit and desire is there for all to see! 

 

In a week where Ian Watsons new contract had been mentioned the team did him proud today! Ian was delighted after the game praising the defence and the way Luke Gale was dealt with. Salford will now look to build on today when they visit Widnes vikings next Friday! Final score Salford 13 Castleford 12!

Salford Red Devils v Castleford Tigers Big match preview

Salford Red Devil's take on Castleford Tigers on Sunday which promises to be a thrilling encounter. Check out our big match preview below where the game will be won and lost this weekend. 

Battle 1 the generals

Michal Dobson V Luke Gale

This will no doubt be the key battle and both players are the main ball players for the sides. Both similar in there game styles which number 7 will come out on top. Dobson's kicking game will be vital to the Devils and Gale's general attacking play will be key for the Tigers. For me this battle will be the one to watch.

 

Battle 2 BMM V MMK

Big Ben will no doubt want to put last week dying second in the game behind him and hopefully he can put that right on Sunday. He had a really strong game on his return to the side last week and we will need him to be at his best against a very strong tigers pack 

McMeeken has been an outstanding player for the tigers since his signature from the London Broncos. His performances has seen him called into the England RL set up so he will be one player we need to target if we are to get the 2 points at the AJ Bell.

 

Battle 2 The 2nd Men

Obrien v Hardaker 

Both players like to be the 2nd ball players in attack and like to loop round their side to create some magic out wide. Obrien will need to have his kicking boots on to make sure we get all the points we can and no doubt the two fullbacks will encounter each other in attack
