Tommy Machson scored a Hat-trick test while the Catalans sailed to victory against a still depleted side of Salford
Salford tried together a team for a second trip to Perpignan within three weeks and were executed at a ruthless 38-10 loss at Dragons Catalans in Betfred Super League rivals.
Red Devil coach Paul Rowley, who is still under special measures due to a cash crisis in the club, named an initial travel team with 18 men, then made final adjustments to final adjustments with Chris Hill, Deon Cross, Chris Atkin, Shane Wright and Sam Davis who missing a variety of reasons.
However, Ryan Brierley’s return to the back – the newcomer captain after removing the watkins call – gave an experience in the back line for Salford.
There were only two changes for Les Dracs with Romain Navarrete and Clement Martin in the injured Arthur Romano and loan with Jordan Dezaria loans, though Reimis Smith Center withdrew and replaced by Fouad Yaha.
The Catalans dismissed Warrington and Wakefield on the table with the victory, thanks to a Tommy machine’s hat-trick, climbing the seventh position, as they finally took their season on the right track.

A heavy flood before the match washed the field, but that could not extinguish the dragon fire while they settled about Salford from the outside.
After the smoke was cleaned from the household support fireworks, the machinery hit for his first test when he gathered a Luke Keary kick in the right corner.
Tariq Sims cut in line to mark from 10 meters away four minutes later, closely followed by a short-range explosion above the line by Julian Bousquet to place the dragons in front of 16-0.
Salford gathered with the enterprise from Brierley, forcing the Catalans in a dropout line, and Joe Mellor in his 300th career game-left near the score, but failed to land from a blow that rolled over the dead movement just before the break.
The second half began the same as a 43rd minute test for Chris Sata, converted by Guillermo Aispuro-Bichet for 22-0.
Navarrete was held less from the line, according to the video judge, but there was no mistake for the machine when he gathered from the scrum to move to the right corner for his second attempt to cross 1,500 points by Super League.
Matthieu Laguerre was another after the Devils defense was dismantled, but Salford did not take place when former Dragon Tiaki Chan went to a good run to release Loanee Jonny Vaughan for a 68th minute test. Brierley was unable to convert.
Chan then produced a powerful explosion over the four -minute line from the end to the pleasure of the visiting fans and his father Alex – the general manager of the Catalans – who raised a deplorable smile on the touch line.
Machon made titles with a last minute hat-trick from a Keary kick to seal a comfortable win.
