As rugby league supporters, we all understand that local rivalry between clubs is one of the heartbeats that makes this sport so addictive for players, coaches and spectators alike. 

However there comes a time when it is important to put club colours to one side and show each support, for the greater good of the wider rugby league community. 

Our long time rivals, and local neighbours, Swinton Lions are currently experiencing financial difficulties, and the Salford Red Devils urge of all our supporters to do what they can to support a historic rugby league club, just like our own. 

Red Devils supporters will remember that the Lions came to our aide in our hour of need in 2013, and now is the time for our supporters to reciprocate this solidarity. 

With the Red Devils in action on Friday night against Castleford Tigers, it would be great to see as many Salford supporters attending Swinton’s game on Sunday against Dewsbury Rams. Full ticket information can be found here. 

As someone who played in a number of derby games against Swinton in his time as a Salford player, CEO Ian Blease hopes that the Red Devils supporters will be out in force to support our neighbours, he said;

“It was always a great experience to play in those games against Swinton in front of hugely passionate fans from both clubs. Although the clubs have taken different paths in the years that have followed, it is still hugely important to the game of Rugby League that clubs such as Swinton survive. I urge as many of our supporters as possible to get down to Heywood Road on Sunday and show some support to our closest neighbours.”

The Salford Red Devils are delighted to announce the signing of New Zealand International Winger Manu Vatuvei from the New Zealand Warriors, until the end of the 2018 season.

Throughout his career, Vatuvei has been one of the stand out wingers on the International stage, and his immense strength and physicality has earned him the nick name ‘The Beast’.

Vatuvei has been a prolific try scorer for the Warriors, scoring 152 times in just over 200 appearances, and has developed a reputation for being one of the most feared outside backs in rugby league.

Manu joins the Red Devils with immediate effect and Head Coach Ian Watson is excited about the prospect of having him in the squad, he said;

“Manu is great signing for us. He has such an impact on the game from the backfield and is a real handful for opposition defences to deal with. Manu is a winner, and has experience of being in those high pressure, big game situations. He will be able to bring that experience into our existing playing group which will be a massive benefit for our young squad.”

Vatuvei joins a Red Devils team challenging in the top four of the Betfred Super League and preparing for a Challenge Cup Semi-Final, and Watson believes a signing of this calibre is testament to the progress being made by the club;

“I’ve been really impressed by how committed Manu is to come over here and be part of this group. He wants to come here and win things, he is fully prepared to work hard and earn the respect of the rest of the boys through his performances.

Just the fact that a player of Manu’s stature and experience wants to come over and play for Salford shows how far we have come as a team and as a club.”

Red Devils CEO Ian Blease has been working hard alongside Watson to assemble the best possible playing squad going forward, and is delighted to see Vatuvei sign for the club, he said;

“Manu is a massive signing for us, he brings with him so much experience and knowledge which will be hugely valuable to Ian and the boys.

He is such an aggressive and exciting player to watch, and I can’t wait to see him pulling on a red shirt, and ripping in for the Red Devils.”

Manu Vatuvei is available to sponsor, please email garreth.Carvell@Salfordreddevils.net with enquiries.

The Salford Red Devils were on the receiving end of a disappointing defeat against Leeds Rhinos at the The Salford Stadium on Sunday.

Salford came into the game on the back off a confidence inspiring win against Huddersfield the week before, and were hoping to take a big step towards to cementing their place in the top 4.

The game got off to the perfect start for the Red Devils as Josh Wood swept up a spilt ball to dive over and score.

Leeds hit back through Ryan Hall scoring in the corner, which was then quickly followed up by Tom Briscoe dotting down on the opposite wing.

The momentum was now well and truly with Rhinos and it wasn’t long before Kallum Watkins found some space on the right edge to go over for Leeds third try.

Th Rhinos where now on a role and were soon celebrating again, Matt Parcell found a gap in the Salford defence to dive over from close range.

Salford were then dealt another blow as Junior Sa’u was sent to the sin-bin for a high tackle on Watkins.

Leeds took advantage of the extra man, scoring another three tries before the break, through Joel Moon, Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Tom Briscoe, and took a commanding 6-36 lead into the break.

Salford started the second half well and were soon back amongst the points courtesy of a sublime try from Ben Murdoch-Masila.

The Red Devils were soon in again as Michael Dobson found his way through the Rhinos defence to score

The Red Devils were much improved in the second half, but were unable to find a cutting edge, and Leeds extended their lead through Anthony Mullally, putting the result beyond all doubt.

Ben Murdoch-Masila added his second try of the game with 7 minutes remaining before Jack Walker scored on the hooter to round off a 24-50 win for the Rhinos.

Salford Red Devils: O’Brien, Johnson, Welham, Sa’u, Evalds, Lui, Dobson, Tasi, Wood, Kopczak, Jones, Murdoch-Masila, Hauraki, Lannon, Brining, Griffin, Krasniqi
