Ken Sio (above) scored four tries for Salford Red Devils today, as they dented the play-off hopes of Hull FC, while there were hat-tricks for Catalans stars Mike McMeeken and Fouad Yaha, as well as three field-goals at the Mobile Rocket Stadium, as Wakefield Trinity’s victory over Leeds Rhinos presented further evidence that Willie Poching could be a shoo-in for the head-coaching job at Trinity.
Castleford Tigers, Hull FC, Hull Kingston Rovers and Leeds Rhinos all suffered setbacks to their play-off hopes, while St Helens won the big match of the day, coming back from 14-10 down at half-time to beat Warrington Wolves 24-14 at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
