Wakefield thrash Salford to equal record win
Betfred Super League Wakefield (30) 72 Tries: Walmsley 2, McMeeken, Jowitt, Faatili 2, Lino, Scott, Rourke, Nikotemo, Lingard 2, Pitts Goals: Jowitt 10 Salford (0) 10 Tries: Vaughan, Macdonald Goals: Brierley Wakefield Trinity equalled their biggest Super League win with a 13-try thrashing of beleaguered Salford Red Devils. In-form Trinity took full advantage of some dreadful Salford defence to claim a top-six place as Lachlan Walmsley scored twice, and Mike McMeeken, Max Jowitt, Caius Faatili and Mason Lino all went over to establish a 30-0 half-time lead. Salford had some respite as Jonny Vaughan and Nene Macdonald replied in the second half but home debutant Ellis Lingard scored twice and Cameron Scott, Josh Rourke, Seth Nikotemo, Jay Pitts and Faatili again all cut through a non-existent visiting rearguard. The success equalled the home side's 72-10 win over Hull FC in 2018, which was their biggest win in the competition. Defeat left Salford, who have lost seven on the bounce and mired in financial trouble, rooted to bottom spot in Super League. The Red Devils have had a torrid time this season, losing several of their top players due to their ongoing off-field problems as well as injuries to Jayden Nikorima and Ethan Ryan. Castleford Tigers' decision to recall forward George Hill meant they could only raise an 18-man squad for Sunday's trip across the Pennines. A Trinity side which is on a roll after hammering Warrington Wolves was not about to show them any mercy and with a re-hashed Salford backline, which had Macdonald at full-back, struggling to contain their opponents, they kept up a point-a-minute tally for most of the first half. A moment of slackness from Lino handed Vaughan a try gift for a Salford side which has not scored more than 16 points in their current losing streak, but Trinity hit back as Scott latched on to Jowitt's grubber kick to restore the 30-point margin. Macdonald and Chris Hankinson both left a high kick to each other to give Rourke the easiest try he will ever score and Nikotemo added another. With a fourth win in five games in the bag, Trinity coach Daryl Powell blooded 18-year-old Lingard, and his try took them past 50 points. Macdonald marked his own 200th appearance with a try in a rare moment of relief for the visitors, but Pitts capped off his 150th Trinity appearance with his first try of the season and Australian prop Faatili, who signed a new three-year deal this week, made it two tries in each of the last three games. Lingard had the final say with a try which matched Wakefield's record mark. Wakefield: Rourke; Walmsley, Hall, Scott, Johnstone; Jowitt, Lino; McMeeken, Smith, Faatili, Croft, Nikotemo, Pitts. Interchanges: Vagana, Cozza, Myers, Lingard Salford: Macdonald; Connell, Marsters, Vaughan, Hankinson; Brierley, Morgan; Ormondroyd, Davis, Makin, Warren, Stone, Shorrocks. Interchanges: Foster, Sangare, Wilson, Chan Referee: Liam Moore.
