Sensational Salford Demolish the Saints
Two sides separated by just over twenty miles down the M62, but by a gulf in difference in recent achievement, met at the AJ Bell Stadium as Salford Red Devils took on St Helens in the final game of an incredible round twenty-one of Super League 2022.
St Helens were the bookies favourites, but comfortably in top position and playing the side in eighth, they perhaps might have expected more than a ten-point deficit on the handicap coupon.
A win for Saints would move them within a point of securing the minor premiership, but a victory for the home side would lift them up two places and into the play-offs.

First thrashing of the season for Saints with Salford probably putting in a stunning performance for many years in Superleague. Could have easily have been a 50-6 score line, if Salford play like that in the play offs then they are going to cause lots of problems for the opposing teams.
The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

I suspect Tim Lafai will find Konrad Hurrell in his back pocket when he gets home, as for Brodie Croft easily in a league of his own, by far the best half back in super league. As for Joe Burgess must be wane's first choice winger, and Kallum Watkins pure class.

Been an admirer of Brodie Croft this season, I think Kallum Watkins mentioned the day before the game they are going to give Saints a hard time, they must have had a game plan that certainly worked.

Respect to the Saints fans came in big numbers unlike plenty of other "massive" clubs and in the main stayed to the end, I assume as the entertainers other than the score they must have loved how Salford played, "Rowleyball" is truly breathtaking.
And in his presser in a dig at w*nker Wilkin Burgess described the team as having 17 sets of huge Minerals.

Jon Wilkin is a right nob head and should be nowhere near any pundit analysis. Get rid of the fool. All the best to Salford .
