SALFORD RED DEVILS players and staff have been using meditation in order to keep calm during the club’s financial woes.
The Super League club’s issues have been well documented, with the problem beginning towards the back end of last year – and the problems have still not abated.
The Red Devils are still operating under a £1.2 million sustainability cap – a cap that has seen Brad Singleton, Marc Sneyd and Tim Lafai depart, with Kallum Watkins the next one on the exit list.
For Salford assistant Krisnan Inu, who has been a mainstay through the rough times, he has explained that meditation is helping everyone associated at the club through a “rough start”.
“It’s been a long year. Its been one of those rough starts to a year but that won’t determine how we finish,” Inu said.
“We will see how it goes. We have a meditation session every morning so we are onto it.
“It’s a bit of deep breathing which calms the nerves, relaxes your muscles and clears your head so you’re not saying and doing stupid things.
“We are all here for each other, we rally together and get things done.
“I’m learning every day, I feel like I’ve been in the game long enough but every day is a lesson for me.”
In terms of the new Salford ownership group, Inu is childhood friends with an individual called Lord Isiosaia Kailahi, who has strong links to the music industry.
Kailahi and business consultant Kurt Graver have been the two names behind the consortium led by Swiss businessman Dario Berta.
And though the ownership group has come under fire in recent weeks for the lack of communication regarding continued financial issues, Inu has backed Kailahi.
“He is a big man, smells good and speaks well. He is here to support the club.”
