THE ORIGINAL RED DEVILS

MATCH PREVIEW – HULL KR VS SALFORD RED DEVILS (ROUND 24)

The Red Devils travel to East Hull tomorrow evening in search of a first win at Craven Park since 2019.

High-flying Hull KR are Paul Rowley’s next challenge, a team who demolished St Helens at the TWS last Saturday to maintain their spot at the summit.

Salford handed out a thrashing of their own in Round 23; a 50-point victory against Huddersfield Giants – Ryan Brierley’s hat-trick and Jayden Nikorima’s brace just two of many highlights.

Ahead of this mouthwatering contest, here’s everything you need to know:

SQUAD NEWS

Fresh off scoring 60 points at home, each of those who put points on the board in Salford once again feature in the squad, including Marc Sneyd who leads the Super League with 22 try assists in this season’s competition, having recorded three in his last outing.

Returning from their respective one-match bans picked up at Magic Weekend, Oliver Partington and Tim Lafai’s names are restored to the squad list and are amongst those making the trip to Hull.

Jack Ormondroyd is also named in the squad after a lengthy spell away from the 21, having withdrawn early in May’s Round 11 trip to Leigh.

Harvey Wilson once again features and after a try-scoring appearance against Huddersfield at the weekend, will certainly be looking to build upon his encouraging display.


LAST TIME OUT

Our reverse meeting with the Robins, at the Salford Community Stadium, was all the way back in Round 3.

With KR winning their first two and Salford bouncing back from Round 1 defeat with victory over Castleford Tigers, this game was set-up to be another battle between two free-flowing teams.

Salford started in the best possible manner. Marc Sneyd stabbed a grubber kick into the left corner for Deon Cross to slam down and Chris Hankinson showed sensational technique to grab a loose pass to score a second.

Peta Hiku and Jez Litten mounted a second-half fightback from the visitors, but Sneyd’s two penalty-goals and a field-goal secure a 17-10.
