Full-time: Hull FC 35-4 Salford Red Devils

And that's all she wrote.

It took 20 minutes for the initial breakthrough to come, but once it did, FC never looked back.

The Black and Whites make it two from two to start the season, although the victory may be overshadowed somewhat by injuries to Mark Sneyd and Josh Reynolds.

Meanwhile for Richard Marshall and Salford it's yet another heavy defeat, with just two tries scored in 180 minutes of Super League action.

A very good performance from Hull FC this afternoon.

62' - Penalty Successful

Hull FC are awarded a penalty bang in front of the sticks and they elect for the two points.

In the absence of Mark Sneyd it's Jake Connor who steps up and makes no mistake.

No hope of a comeback, but good for the Devils to avoid a nil on the back of tomorrow's papers.

44' - TRY HULL FC

And that is exactly what they have done.

Sneyd adds the two from bang in front to end this one as a contest.

Salford cough up possession on their own line as they attempt a needless offload on the third.

Heading back out

The players are taking to the pitch ahead of the second half, which will get underway shortly.

Any way back for Salford? Or will the Hull FC procession continue?

Half-time: Hull FC 14-0 Salford Red Devils

Plain sailing for Hull through the first 45, who lead 14-0 thanks to scores from Savelio and Reynolds.

Sneyd added six points from the tee to give Hull a three score advantage heading into the sheds.

That's just one score in 120 minutes of rugby for the Red Devils so far this season, they'll need a significant change of fortunes in the second-half if they are to get their season up and running today.

Salford chance their arm with a training ground move on the fifth and are rewarded for it with a penalty as Ken Sio is hit late as he kicks forward.

25' - Penalty Kick Successful

Hull opt for the two points, and Mark Sneyd duly converts.

Jake Connor that is fantastic!

It's been a very even start through the opening 10 or so minutes.

No Inu for Salford, Ackers returns.

A couple of changes for the Salford side who lost to Saints in Round One, most noticeably the return of Welsh winger Rhys Williams, who comes in for Krisnan Inu.

Andy Ackers' return to the side will be a huge boost to the Devils, who played without a traditional hooker last weekend.

Connor to shine

Jake Connor put an indifferent 2020 behind him last weekend, looking a revitalised figure in victory over the Giants.

The Black and Whites fullback is one of the competitions most dangerous players on his day, and if he can keep up that sort of form throughout the season, the sky is the limit for Hodgson's men.

Salford to get on the board?

Salford didn't fare quite so well in their Round One fixture, falling to a 29-6 defeat to SL favourites St Helens.

The scoreline was a little harsh on Richard Marshall's men, who fell away in the last 10 minutes, and they will be looking to give a better account of themselves today.

Hull looking to build on impressive Round One

Brett Hodgson's side will be looking to make it two wins from two this afternoon, after impressing in their 22-10 victory over Huddersfield Giants in Round One.

Off-season signing Josh Reynolds ran the show in that victory, with FC fans hoping for more of the same from their Aussie half-back.
