Salford Red Devils RLFC.

| I was making a point on another forum and quickly rattled through a list of players I believe came through our academy system under Alan Hunte's leadership that are still playing the game. They are;
1. Theo Fages (Salford)
2. Jason Walton (Salford)
3. Niall Evalds (Salford)
4. Adam Walne (Salford)
5. Jordan Walne (Salford)
6. Ryan Lannon (Salford)
7. Matty Gee (Salford)
8. Jon Ford (Salford)
9. Marc Sneyd (Hull)
10. Jordan Turner (Saints)
11. Stefan Ratchford (Warrington)
12. Gareth Owen (Oldham)
13. George Tyson (Oldham)
14. Adam Neal (Oldham)
15. Adam Clay (Oldham)
16. Lewis Palfrey (Oldham)
17. Kyle Dolan (Barrow)
18. Max Wiper (Barrow)
Can anyone name anymore?
Also, would you consider the above list and any others that get added to it a reasonable return given the limited resources Alan and his coaching staff had to contend with 11 of his 13 years in charge.
If you look at the likes of Sneyd, Ratchford and Turner alone there must be a reasonable amount of transfer fees received. How much would the likes of Theo and Niall be worth in 12-18 months if they also continue to develop as they have been doing?
I think all things considered, he has done a fine job and given further budgets could have probably done even more particularly with regards to forging those closer links with our local amateur clubs. There still seems to be no production line coming from the likes of Eccles, Langworthy, Folly and Cadishead into Salford's academy system which must be a priority for whom ever replaces Hunte on a permanent basis.

| Last years Academy profiles backsup Loyal Fans earlier post regarding Salford having the same shopping list for youngsters as other super league clubs .This season it proves more difficult to check as we apparently have Salford Reserves team according to the official website .
Wire appear leading the way at the minute with thinking out of the box and have made the effort to turn up at Cadishead on a fairly regular basis over the last couple of years to see whats going on at the club,

| Six Academy products in the starting 13 last night isn't bad for a club that is trying to buy success and doesn't develop its own players.

| I coached Mr Whitham at Warrington last year and he is a very good prospect that Salford should have spotted. Salfords loss is definitely Warrington's gain!
Whether he will make it is up to him, he has the potential and a great opportunity to do so.

| Cadishead Rhinos are a thriving club in the area with a large pool of junior talent. The club also has some very good coaches of the junior teams so they are in very good hands and progressing well... yet Salford seem to have pretty much zero interest in the kids there for no good reason. I know of one instance of a Salford 'scout' recommending a player to Warrington... which is criminal. This took place at an away game in Wigan... as the Salford scouts are not seen at Cadishead.
Whoever comes in needs to take a look closer to home starting in the Salford area. They need a hands on approach. I've seen the junior teams in the Widnes area sporting the Widnes Vikings logo on their shirts as they are seen as part of the bigger picture. At Salford we have nothing like that. Kids in Salford should have a real reason to aspire to play for this club. At this time they don't. If this job is done correctly, then this will be a starting point.

Thats not exactly true, mate. They have been a few times recently. But it was more down to martin vickers than alan hunte.
