Salford 18 Warrington 34

Salford Red Devils gave another battling performance but unfortunately for the huge 6 thousand plus crowd who turned up to the AJ Bell witnessed another defeat this time to Warrington.

Salford started on the back foot when Warrington charged down a Theo Fagas kick for Ben Currie to open the scoring. Salford got back in the contest when good work sent Corey Paterson though a gap to score.

Warrington found another gear with Jean Ormsby and Stefan Ratchford putting the wolves in the driving seat. But just before half time Salford hit back when Junior Sa'u reduced the deficit with a try in the corner.

This contest was still in the balance Jean Ormsby added a second for Warrington after the break before Salfords Niall Evalds burst the Warrington defence and just managed to reach over the line for Salford.

Warrington didn't panic and  two tries by Brad Dwyer and a  Ormsby's hatrick try secured Warrington's win.

Salford have now lost six straight games without their main playmaker Rangi Chase and remain 11th in the Super League table.

Salford can feel a bit aggrieved that they didn't get much from Ben Thaler the referee. The penalty count with 5 minutes to go was 11-4 to Warrington.
This type of thing does add fuel to the fire that there maybe a agenda in place.

In the cold light of day Warrington were the better side in patches but the effort from the players cannot be faulted. Hopefully Salfords luck will turn soon.

Salford will look back to a Cory Patterson try which was ruiled out by the video referee for a knock on as being the turning point in the game.

Next game is Widnes at Magic weekend in Newcastle hopefully Salford can win and stop this run of defeats.

Salford 0 Huddesfield 19

A cold, wet and frustrating night at the AJ Bell stadium for Salford Red Devils as they went down 19-0 to Huddesfield Giants.

Salford still lacking several players though injury and suspension lacked creativity though out the game, the players still gave 100% but after couple of promising performances under pressure in the last few weeks unfortunately for Salford they looked to have had their energy levels drained.

The referee didn't help Salford's cause with several decisions which at best could be classed as bonkers, which upset the home crowd

Weller Haraki was sent to the sin bin for fighting as Huddersfield lead by Danny Brough did enough to keep Salford at arms length though out the game

Veteran Adrian Morley was put on report for a potential head-butt which deepens Salford's worries with bigger games to come.

The week off has come at the right time for Salford who will be hoping that the time will allow injured and suspended players to come back and strengthen the team for future battles.

Hull FC 24 Salford 20

Salford  Red Devils  battled bravely but unfortunately  came back from Humberside  with no points as they went down 24-20 against  Hull FC.

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
