Salford earned an impressive 12-30 victory over Huddersfield – their fifth consecutive away win at the John Smith’s Stadium – and we take a look at three talking points from the game.Β
Away victory
Salfordβs 12-30 victory over Huddersfield at the John Smithβs Stadium marked their first win on the road for almost ten months and what a victory it was!
A double from Jake Bibby alongside tries from Mark Flanagan, Ben Nakubuwai and Weller Hauraki saw the Red Devils earn a much-needed victory. Rob Lui was on form with the boot kicking five goals.
The Red Devils have come close to winning away from home this season with narrow losses at the likes of Wakefield Trinity and Widnes Vikings but with an away win under their belts in 2018, Ian Watsonβs men will be looking to kick on in the coming weeks both on their travels and at the AJ Bell Stadium.
Jake Bibby
The winger crossed for two late tries to round off a hard-fought victory at the John Smithβs Stadium and was one of the standout performers for the Red Devils.
Both of Bibbyβs scores came when the game already looked to be won but the winger finished in fantastic fashion to help Salford end the game in style.
However, it wasnβt just in attack where the youngster impressed. Innes Senior crossed for the Giants, but Bibby has his number after that twice stopping the Huddersfield winger from scoring in the corner.
Dominance
Salford dominated the game for large periods earning plenty of penalties on the back of solid running and quick play-the-balls.
Once again, the forwards matched the likes of Ukuma Taβai and Sebastine Ikahihifo while the outside backs were consistent bringing the ball from deep inside the Salford half.
The Red Devils also managed the game very well in the closing stages when Huddersfield looked like they may edge their way back into it which eventually paid dividend as it was Ian Watsonβs men who ran away with it.
