Peta Hiku – 7: A couple of classy breaks from the Kiwi who didn’t need to shift through the gears too much

Jack Broadbent – 7: Scored Rovers’ second try and they made that electric start.

Joe Burgess – 9: A constant threat with his pace to burn and four tries, all created by Mikey Lewis’ boot.

Mikey Lewis – 9: Pretty much did what he wanted. Salford didn’t know how to stop him. Some brilliant playmaking with EIGHT try assists and a try himself, too.

Tyrone May – 7: Will be disappointed to get shown a yellow-card for dissent in the first half. Not that it mattered: Robins scored twice when down to 12 men.

Sauaso Sue – 8: Got on the end of one of Lewis’ passes for another try, big prop just keeps on going.

Michael McIlorum – 7: Rolled up his sleeves to help set the lead in the middle but will be disappointed with one poor pass to Lewis.

Jarred Waerea-Hargreaves – 7: Put in some monster hits but got one wrong for a penalty that led to Salford first try.

Rhyse Martin – 8: Oozed class, great line off Lewis’ flat pass to surge through for his first of two tries and then passed 1,000 Super League points after taking over kicking duties from Mourgue.

James Batchelor – 8: Another who never stops. Kept battering Salford. Relentless.

Elliot Minchella – 8: It doesn’t matter what the game, who the opponent, the captain never seems to have a bad game. Got a deserved rest in the final quarter.

Jez Litten – 8: Off the bench for McIllorum and scored two tries, zipping around just being a menace for stretched Salford.

Kelepi Tanginoa – 7: What a machine to have as a replacement. The last thing Salford will have wanted to see arriving on the field.

Jack Brown – 8: Put in some big carries and racked up plenty

Sam Luckley – 7: Another who brought a big impact. Terrific effort.
