Crusaders hauled themselves off the bottom of the engage Super League with a 16-10 win at Salford.\n<\/p>\n

The Welshmen had lost six in a row since beating the Reds 42-12 on the opening day of the season at the Millennium Stadium.<\/p>\n

But tries from Jordan Tansey – his first for the club – Jarrod Sammut and Gareth Thomas sealed victory.<\/p>\n

Crusaders handed a debut to Hep Cahill, with Rhys Hanbury making his first appearance of the campaign after the pair were held up by visa delays.<\/p>\n

Salford were relieved Michael Witt, who grabbed a hat-trick of tries in the Cardiff romp, was out through a one-match suspension for punching Castleford’s Richie Mathers last week.<\/p>\n

But Peter Lupton was back after missing the Cas defeat for the birth of his daughter.<\/p>\n

Debut<\/h4>\n

Salford handed a debut to ex-Warrington forward Vinnie Anderson after impressive victories over Hull KR and Catalan, but Rob Parker and Iafeta Paleaaesina were still sidelined through injury.<\/p>\n

Crusaders were down to 12 men after 11 minutes with Vince Mellars sin-binned for a grapple tackle on Sean Gleeson.<\/p>\n

Mellars had earlier been penalised by referee Steve Ganson for holding down.<\/p>\n

Ray Cashmere thought he had given Salford the lead but his effort was disallowed for a double movement.<\/p>\n

The Reds could not turn their numerical advantage and incessant pressure into points.<\/p>\n

Chances were limited on both sides, with Crusaders bringing on Sammut after half an hour to try and spark their attack.<\/p>\n

Lupton went close for the Welshmen but was brought back for a forward pass from Tansey, snapped up recently after being sacked by Hull.<\/p>\n

But Crusaders broke the deadlock 11 seconds from half-time when Luke Patten failed to gather Daniel Holdsworth’s pass and Tansey pounced to race 90 metres to touch down.<\/p>\n

Clinton Schifcofske, who had been placed on report for an incident in a tackle, maintained his record of scoring in every match since last June by booting the conversion to make it 6-0 at the break.<\/p>\n

Crusaders extended the lead early in the second half when Cahill’s loose pass looked to be deflected by a Salford defender and Sammut hacked ahead to score.<\/p>\n

Benefit<\/h5>\n

Video referee Ben Thaler gave Sammut the benefit of the doubt and Schifcofske slotted over the conversion.<\/p>\n

Salford clawed back to 12-6 with Cashmere taking Holdsworth’s pass to charge over for a converted try after 51 minutes.<\/p>\n

There was only a two point gap five minutes later with Jodie Broughton racing onto Stefan Ratchford’s kick to pick up smartly and go over in the corner.<\/p>\n

Holdsworth missed the touchline conversion but the Reds were relieved when Thaler disallowed a Ben Flower try for a double movement on the hour.<\/p>\n

But Crusaders had more luck 10 minutes from time when Thaler awarded Thomas a try after a Lloyd White pass to increase the lead to 16-10.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
