Super League review: Barrie McDermott looks back at all the Super League action

Barrie McDermott has his say on another action-packed weekend of Super League action, which saw Castleford, Huddersfield, Hull KR, Salford, Warrington and Leeds win.

London Broncos 30-44 Salford

Brian Noble has inherited a group of players at Salford and he needs to see where they are in terms of their ability and whether they are worth keeping on board. Jodie Broughton is certainly worth keeping on board and played very well, so I am sure Salford will want to keep hold of him. Salford will be happy with scoring so many tries but it will be another matter when it comes to their defence. For London, well, the only light for them was Jamie Soward, who has come over from St George. He came on and changed the game. Read the match report

Warrington 26-12 Bradford

Warrington played their part in Monday's fabulous game against Wigan on Monday and for players to peak twice in a week is quite difficult. Last week Bradford coach Francis Cummins said his players were dishonest which was a harsh thing to say but I think he got what he wanted from his players in the second half. Read the match report

Widnes 36- 52 Leeds

I don't think Leeds are ever off track because they have won the Grand Final from fifth two years on the trot. Their injury roster is horrendous - 10 first choice players missing. But that has given their young players to be given an opportunity and 17 year-old Liam Sutcliffe is having a whale of a time - he has played seven times in the first team and scored five tries.
