THE ORIGINAL RED DEVILS

RED DEVILS TRIO CHOSEN IN SUPER LEAGUE TEAM OF THE WEEK

Tim Lafai, Joe Mellor and Kallum Watkins have all been included in the Super League Team of the Week.

On Saturday evening, Salford Red Devils secured a playoff place with one game to spare after a convincing away victory over Hull FC.

There were star performers all over the field and you could argue every single member of the starting thirteen has a case for an inclusion this week.

Man of the Match, Tim Lafai was a shoe-in with his incredible all-round display. An absolute menace with ball in hand, the Samoan scored a hat-trick and made a phenomenal 270 metres across the contest.

Likewise, the skipper, Kallum Watkins continues to set the standard week in, week out and joins Warrington’s Matty Nicholson in the back-row of Round 27’s team.

He put the ribbon on a fine Salford move to score a try of his own near the hour mark, bursting onto a short ball from Jayden Nikorima to break through and acrobatically touch down.

Joe Mellor is fast becoming a regular feature in the Super League TOTW and his two-try performance merits another inclusion this week.

The halfback-turned-hooker is by far one of the signings of the season and become hugely popular around the fanbase for his excellent performances.

We would like to congratulate Tim, Kallum and Joe on their well-deserved inclusions.
