Salford Red Devils End 13-Game Losing Streak With Win Over Castleford Tigers

Salford Red Devils secured only their second Super League win of the season by defeating Castleford Tigers 26-22, ending a 13-game losing streak. The victory was hard-fought, with Salford overcoming injuries and a difficult season marked by financial troubles and a significant player exodus. Key contributions came from Ethan Ryan, Harvey Wilson, Joe Mellor, Esan Marsters, and Chris Hankinson, whose 10-point haul in the second half helped pull Salford ahead. Castleford, meanwhile, struggled following the recent sacking of head coach Danny McGuire and fell to their fourth consecutive defeat despite efforts from Daejarn Asi and Josh Simm. Salford's improved performance was highlighted by tighter defense and resilience, with loan signing Oliver Russell and returning players boosting the squad. The win provides a brief respite for Salford amid ongoing challenges, while Castleford continues to search for stability under interim coach Chris Chester.
