Salford's Nene reigns supreme as Red Devils rip into Giants

- DAVE CRAVEN

SALFORD star Nene Macdonald ripped Huddersfield apart as Elliot Wallis saw red in farcical style.

Strapping centre Macdonald intercepted Jake Connor's pass to race 80m for an eighth-minute opener.

When he ducked over for a second for 12-man Salford in the 47th minute, his side seemed to be cruising at 18-0.

It all got too much Wallis, who endured a mistake-ridden second half.

When the Giants winger dropped an easy Connor ball to see a rare chance wasted just before the hour, Salford's players gleefully rubbed it in.

Wallis took exception to Tim Lafai's celebrations and they briefly faced off with each other. So everyone in John Smith's Stadium was stunned when referee Tom Grant brandished a red card for a head-butt.
