Salford started the contest on the back foot after Tim Lafai was sent to the sin bin and Leeds made sure they cashed in on the extra man with tries from Matt Frawley and Alfie Edgell but a yellow card to Leeds’ Rhyse Martin allowed Watkins to fly over for his first.
Brodie Croft restored Leeds’ double-digit lead in front of his old fans but Salford bit back yet again through Watkins’ second of the half.
Salford did not allow their opponents to breathe in the second period which they dominated from start to finish – Joe Mellor bagged the only try of the half to put the Devils in front before Marc Sneyd kicked two penalties either side of James Bentley’s sin-binning to seal an important victory.
Rowley was impressed with Watkins’ performance against his former employers.
