*** Joe Burgess set for Salford debut ***

Former Wigan winger Joe Burgess is set to make his debut for Salford in their Super League clash with Hull KR on Friday.

Burgess, 26, was a close season signing from Wigan but suffered an ankle injury in pre-season training that ruled him out for three months.

His inclusion is a welcome boost for Red Devils coach Richard Marshall, who has lost experienced duo Kallum Watkins (knee) and Kevin Brown (ankle) to injury for the next few months.

Outside back Krisnan Inu is also sidelined, having been suspended for two months for his controversial social media posts in reference to Jarryd Hayne’s recent rape trial.

Salford have added young St Helens centre Ben Davies on loan, after allowing forward Darcy Lussick to join Featherstone on a similar basis.

Marshall said: “We need to perform really well and enjoy ourselves. We’ve had a few tough lessons over the last few weeks.

Salford, who have won just one match all season, were thumped 62-18 at home by Warrington in their last outing, while Rovers beat Leigh 40-16 a fortnight ago.

The game at Craven Park will be televised live on Sky Sports, after the originally scheduled game between Leeds and St Helens was postponed due to coronavirus.

MATCH REPORT | HULL KR 40-4 SALFORD RED DEVILS | FRIDAY 11th JUNE 2021




Salford Red Devils fell to a 40-4 defeat away to Hull KR this evening in Round 9 of the Betfred Super League.

A promising opening 15 minutes that saw Salford take the lead was not built on and three first-half tries followed by a strong performance in the second forty ensured a win for the Robins.

Salford Winger Ken Sio marked his 200th career appearance with a try in the right corner after five minutes, getting onto the end of a clever grubber kick by Tui Lolohea.

Half-way into the second forty, George Lawler bundled over under the sticks for the host and Ben Crooks then extended the Robins’ lead in the 23rd minute, diving over in the right corner.

Five minutes before the interval, Brad Takairangi added to Hull KR’s lead to the left of the sticks after breaching the Salford line with a neat kick and following it up by grounding the ball.

Halftime: Hull Kingston Rovers 16-4 Salford Red Devils

Two minutes into the second half, Jordan Abdull converted a penalty goal in front of the sticks to add another two points to his side’s lead.

Just after the hour mark, Shaun Kenny-Dowall bundled over to the left of the sticks before Matt Parcell extended the hosts’ lead five minutes later with a try of his own.

With 11 minutes to go, Ryan Hall scored down the left wing for the Robins, following approval from the video referee after a call for a knock-on in the build-up to Hall’s try.

Shortly before the final hooter, Kane Linnett broke the Salford line to touch down to the left of the posts.
