Its not very often you hear of a Rugby League player passing away. Its an extremely rare case as today's athletes are in peak physical fitness and are monitored by doctors and medical staff on a daily basis. However, there are exceptions and the passing of Adam Watene is a deeply shocking scenario.
Adam Watene, a Cook Island international captain, played for Castleford helping them gain promotion in 2005. He was signed by Bradford for the 2006 season but only played four games. Midway through that particular season he joined Wakefield scoring two tries in eighteen games. He took to the field in every game during 2007 but was limited to only a dozen games this season due to injury.
The entire Rugby League community's thoughts are with Adam's family.
