Super League: Salford Red Devils 34-4 London Broncos – Marc Sneyd inspires win

Each side had a try disallowed for offside from kicks within a couple of minutes of one another in the early stages. First, Macdonald had a 15th-minute score chalked off, before Lee Kershaw saw four points go soon after.

London defended well as Salford initially struggled in attack, and Broncos had another try disallowed when Marcus Stock was penalised for a double movement 13 minutes from the break.

As London began to tire, Salford opted to run a 33rd-minute penalty and were rewarded a couple of tackles later when Stone crashed in.

Salford had Matt Foster put on report shortly after half-time for an alleged remark made to Miloudi, and a minute later the French back released Jarred Bassett for the Broncos’ best chance to score up to that point.

But Salford broke their opponents with two tries in three minutes. Cross got on the end of a perfectly weighted Sneyd kick to go in after 49 minutes, before Macdonald was set away after an excellent line-breaking run by centre partner Tim Lafai.

London’s afternoon was summed up when Miloudi and Rhys Kennedy dropped the ball from close range either side of the hour mark when in sight of the Salford line.

Sneyd set up Salford’s fourth try as his grubber kick sent Lafai over with 13 minutes left, before Wright took advantage of a Sneyd offload to get the fifth try three minutes later.

Another Sneyd grubber kick to Lafai saw the centre get his second score five minutes from the end, before Miloudi, who had been London’s best attacking outlet, went in as the clock ticked to 80 minutes.
