Ryan Brierley of Salford Red Devils believes I can again aim to aim to play-offs in 2025, despite financial uncertainty that is related to the new Betfred Super League that has engulfed the club.

Salford was last month issued a limit of reduced sustainability of £ 1.2 million And he ordered the players to sell the Rugby football league, which followed two months after colleagues of the Super League agreed to give them in advance in 2025.

In the midst of the conversation and guessing regarding the takeover, Brierley said that the mood in the team was “surprisingly good” on the eve of a new campaign with pre -season training that served as “interfering with welcome from all noise.”

Salford finished fourth on last year’s Super League table, qualifying for the playoffs where they lost at home in the elimination circle from Leigh Leopard. Red Devils open the 2025 campaign in St Helens on Saturday 15th February, live on Sky Sports+.

“I would love to say play-off again, it would be more fastened for us,” Brierley said Sky Sports At the event in the start of the Super League season when asked what he thinks Salford’s real goal is 2025.

“I feel like we have a team for that and I think if we didn’t end up in the first six, that would be a failure.

“We want to finish Top Six and get the opportunity to play in a big game.

“Personally, I run out here. I know I’m coming to the end of my career, so I really want to play in a big game. I really want to come to Wembley or Old Trafford, he has been my massive dream.

“I know the boys are no different and I hope that 2025 can be that year.”

Scotland International Brierley, 32, believes Salford has room for improvement in seasonal matches after a 40-0 Challenge Cup defeat for Hull Kr was demolished at the eliminator last September last September last September.

“I think we could really easily descend into the fact of mediocrity and not do our best – and here we have every excuse under the sun not to perform – but I don’t think [head coach] Paul Rowley created that group or created that environment, “said Brierley, who joined the club in 2022.

“So what I will say is when we came to a big game, especially last season, we didn’t perform well – Challenge Cup and Super League. We came to Play -Fefa last year, but we didn’t perform a big game well, which is disappointing.

Brierley hopes ‘good news around the corner’ in conversations about taking over

“What Paul Rowley provides is [the message] “Take off all this and face the facts,” and the facts are that there is an interest in the club, which is positive. It can only be a positive thing. Much more positive than a few months ago.

“But we don’t know how far, or how far, this download. So interest is real and we hope we will pass it over the line before, not later, because we hope to be a great job in performing the performance under the performance under the performance by pressing really good and performing in these circumstances.

“But not ideal, isn’t it? Everyone wants a beautiful stable job and a stable environment that will work every day and we’re not different.”

Brierley also expressed confidence in Salford’s ability to retain his toy staff.

Asked how convinced he was convinced that his teammates would still be in Salford on Wednesday to come to the end of the season in October, the full back replied: “Really confident. The facts did not ask the player to leave.
