WIDNES VIKINGS 52 SALFORD 8JAMES GORDON, DCBL Stadium, FridayWIDNES broke Salford’s resolve to hit a half-century of points and secure a 13th win in 15 games. For at least 50 minutes, Salford made a game of it buoyed by an enthusiastic start, but the Vikings eventually showed their strength and ultimately posted 36 points without reply in the second half to ease home. Salford went close to hitting back for a third time when Garmston was held up over the line. Still the Reds dug in, but when Fozard’s kick ricocheted off the post and into the hands of Jack Billington for Widnes’ fifth try, the floodgates opened. GAMESTAR: Jordan Johnstone’s work-rate helped Widnes deal with the Salford enthusiasm in the middle.
