Kallum Watkins says sizzling Salford reminds him of Leeds’ glory teams - and feels they can’t replicate their Super League glory.
The Red Devils have booked their play-offs spot playing some brilliant rugby league that’s so easy on the eye. Paul Rowley’s free-flowing side might be the lowest spenders in the competition but are definitely high up when it comes to excitement. England international Watkins is one of their biggest attacking threats having switched from centre to second-row.
He was on the scoresheet again in Sunday’s 50-10 rout of Castleford. Silky Salford are Super League’s form team, smashing four successive wins on the bounce to seal their top-six berth. They are up to fifth ahead of Saturday’s final regular round against Warrington and then they head to either Huddersfield or Catalans for their play-off eliminator.
