It’s time to vote for your March Player of the Month.
It was another busy period for Paul Rowley’s side, with Salford Red Devils securing three wins from five games across all competitions.
The first of which came courtesy of a 17-10 home victory over Hull KR. Deon Cross and Chris Hankinson were on target, with Marc Sneyd’s kicking in-game, and from the tee proving a big difference.
Another was a memorable night at the Totally Wicked Stadium, where we recorded our first victory away at St Helens for over 44 years.
Deon Cross scored a 75th minute try to send the Salford faithful into raptures and complete a stunning, late fightback.
The task didn’t get any easier a week later, with recently-crowned world champions, Wigan Warriors in town for Round 5.
Putting together another fantastic team performance, the Red Devils were leading for a large portion of the contest, but two late efforts from Jake Wardle and Bevan French stole the points.
A week later, an off-night at Craven Park saw our Betfred Challenge Cup journey come to an end, but we soon bounced back with a solid Rivals Round display against Leigh Leopards.
Ryan Brierley, Ethan Ryan and Marc Sneyd were all scorers in a 32-22 victory.
However, across the month, three candidates stood out above rest.
The first, of course, was Marc Sneyd – who picked up the Man of the Match medal in each of our Super League contests across March.
Influential every week with both ball in hand and flying off his left boot, our number seven is currently sitting top of the Steve Prescott Man of Steel charts.
The second candidate is Tim Lafai, who continues to show his brilliance week-on-week.
His consistency has been instrumental in our early-season form, but a standout moment has to be his magical assist to set-up Deon Cross’ winner against St Helens.
Receiving the ball in one hand, he moved it into the other and produced his trademark flick out the back to send Cross strolling over in the corner.
Nene Macdonald has also earned back-to-back nominations after a flying start to his career in red and white.
The PNG international has quickly became a fan favourite with his displays at centre, scoring his second try for the club in our match against Saints earlier this month.
