Watson content as Salford march on

Salford head coach Ian Watson says the Red Devils can still improve despite securing a comfortable victory over Leigh on Sunday.

Watson’s team triumphed 36-22 against the Centurions at St James’ Park to keep up the pressure at the top of the Super League table.

“Every week is a big one but it’s pleasing to come here to the Magic Weekend and pick the two points up because it’s a big occasion,” said Watson.

“It’s a derby and we expected Leigh to turn up. We fell off some of the things we pride ourselves in which probably made the score in the second half slightly closer than it needed to be.

“But the boys are an honest group and they will know that and they will fix it up because every game is becoming bigger and bigger the higher we sit in the table.”
