SALFORD coach Paul Rowley admitted his Salford side paid the price for a sluggish start in which they trailed 18-0 after 25 minutes against Huddersfield Giants.
The Red Devils went into their clash at Magic Weekend in good form and pushing for a play-off spot, but they were outplayed by a side who now sit in the top three in Betfrd Super League.
"We looked like a team that had just stepped off the bus after a threehour journey and they looked like a team that had been having Swedish massages," Rowley said.
"We were slow starting and lacked energy and gave ourselves too much of a deficit.
"But we were beaten by a better team, who are where they are in the league because they deserve to be there. I've nothing but respect for them as a club.
"We also played into their hands. They're very much a statistic-based team. They build pressure and it's death by a thousand cuts.
