RIP Adam Watene 1977-2008

I would like to take this moment to pass on my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Adam Watene, who died aged 31 this morning.

Many who read this blog who don’t know me personally are unlikely to be familiar with the Cook Islander. Those who do know me will know that I am a passionate supporter of Rugby League, and Castleford Tigers in particular. Adam played for Castleford in 2005 and was most recently playing for local rivals Wakefield when he passed away unexpectedly during a gym session.

My thoughts, and those of the Rugby League community are with Adam’s family and friends at this horrible time.

Thanks.
