In fact, in Cartwright's view, Salford's ‘journey to hell’ this year, which has seen them face severe financial difficulties including a sustainability cap, player departures, late salary payments, and more, has galvanised the side and brought a siege mentality.

And it's that fight that Hull are preparing for tomorrow, with the two clubs meeting for the first time this season.

Asked what he expected from Salford, Cartwright replied: “What they've been giving: the fight. They look like they're improving to me; results don't indicate that, but you've got to be in a position that they're in to know exactly what they go through.
