THE ORIGINAL RED DEVILS

DEON CROSS, NENE MACDONALD AND KALLUM WATKINS NAMED IN ROUND 15 TEAM OF THE WEEK

Deon Cross, Nene Macdonald and Kallum Watkins have all been included in the Betfred Super League Team of the Week.

Chris Hankinson scored a late winner, as Salford Red Devils completed a league double over St Helens for the first time since 1980.

It was another outstanding victory for Paul Rowley’s men, who maintain their spot in the top six, just four points off league leaders, Wigan Warriors.

Sky Sports’ Man of the Match, Kallum Watkins was a shoe-in for this weeks’ team.

The skipper led from the front with an outstanding performance, completing 25 tackles and making 103 metres across the contest.

Not forgetting his crucial try, a move which involved a trademark tip back from Nene Macdonald, who makes yet another appearance in Super League’s best thirteen.

He made a staggering 196 metres on Sunday, only matched by the equally-impressive Hankinson – who is quite unfortunate to miss out this week himself.

The final inclusion is Deon Cross, who added another two tries to this season’s tally.

After capitalising on a neat short side play for try one, his second was a sweet bit of deja vu; being in the right place at the right time to catch and ground an inch-perfect Marc Sneyd chip.

We would like to congratulate Kallum, Nene and Deon on their well-deserved inclusions.
