In a dominant performance, Joe Burgess scored four of Hull Kingston Rovers' 14 tries, leading the team to a decisive victory over a depleted Salford.

This result enabled Hull KR to extend their lead at the top of the Super League by four points.

Burgess matched the club's Super League record for tries in a single game, while Mikey Lewis contributed significantly with nine assists and one try, marking the team's second consecutive win.

Salford's struggles continued as they faced challenges due to financial issues and a player exodus earlier in the season.

A recent late payment of wages left several players unavailable, which compounded their problems on the field from the start.

The Robins displayed relentless offense, resulting in their largest win to date.

Tom Davies also shone, scoring two tries to bring his career total to 99 in the Super League.

Additionally, Rhyse Martin crossed the line twice and achieved a milestone by scoring his 1,000th point in the competition through seven conversions.
