Hastings helps Devils to win

Australian half-backs Robert Lui and Jackson Hastings inspired Salford Red Devils to a deserved 28-16 victory over struggling Leeds Rhinos at the AJ Bell Stadium.

Lui scored a try and had a hand in several others while Hastings also helped run the show as the Red Devils recorded only their fourth win over Leeds in the Super League era.

Lui's try rounded off a five-try display from the hosts, who recorded their third win in four Betfred Super League games.

Lee Mossop got the hosts on the board early on and Adam Walker also touched down before Mikolaj Oledzki responded for the Rhinos just before half-time.

Joey Lussick touched down early in the second period before Walker grabbed his second and Lui also went over to allow Krisnan Inu to add his fourth goal.

Late efforts from Harry Newman and Ashley Handley - with Liam Sutcloffe adding his second conversion of the night - closed the gap but Leeds were unable to find a way back into the game.
