McRae hails unstoppable Leeds

Salford coach Shaun McRae insisted few sides in Super League could have coped with Leeds after his men were destroyed 52-14 at Headingley to slide ever closer to relegation.

The Reds shipped nine tries against the rampant Rhinos and now lie three points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table with just four matches remaining.

"I don't think it was a game anyone expected us to win, apart from our fans and ourselves," said McRae. "But what you saw was an example of a team who is one of the clear favourites to win the competition against a team bottom of the table."

He added: "The scoreline indicated the difference between the two sides and when you arrive at Headingley it hits you how big a club it is.

"And they're a big team. You watch them in the warm-up and start to think that these guys have got plenty of power and pace.

"I thought we tried hard but there were far too many errors and we were totally outclassed."
