Paul Rowley has insisted his Salford side will continue to 'underpromise and overdeliver' in their remarkable push to reach the Super League play-offs ahead of a meeting with a Leeds Rhinos side Rowley always felt would force their way into the race for the top six.
The Red Devils, one of the competition's lowest spenders with one of the smallest squads, currently occupy the final play-off berth on points difference ahead of Hull FC. Their opponents this Sunday lie one point and one place further back in eighth, making their meeting at Headingley potentially decisive.
They are, in the eyes of some observers, still an outsider to reach the play-offs given the spending power and squad size of their rivals around them. But Rowley has warned anyone expecting his side to fall away now they are starting to attract attention to prepare to be disappointed.
