I know, was playing golf there and saw them all milling around.

Cheers for nothing

My mates lad spent 6 years at Langworthy and he said he saw Alan Hunte twice in that time. He's now moved to Folly. And so far has been approached by 3 Wigan scouts and been invited to training at Saints. Nobody from Salford (so far) has,spoken to him. It looks to me as though the scouts need to get out more.

I may apply for a scouting job at Salford haha seems no one else can be d doing it at the club

Do we even have scouts? If so, does anyone know who they are? Whilst Alan Hunte and now Gareth Carvell should be showing their face around the local amateur games, it shouldn't be their entire responsibility to scout players. This is where closer links with local clubs can help, any player showing promise and there should be a clear pathway for firstly notifying the club, the club sending down a coach/scout, making a judgement on the player and then either signing or continuing to monitor.

I said it before, but given the stark lack of numbers playing RL in Salford its criminal that we're allowing the likes of Wigan, Warrington and Saints to pick up players from our local teams.

Salford should be offering to buy ALL local clubs their kit and insurance, for all their teams each and every season' in exchange for the local clubs telling Salford of every promising lad coming through. A small price to pay to make sure no one slips through the net

To be fair mate, from what ive heard we don't even pay for our own kit.

I don't believe the club do have any scouts other than lads involved on the scholarship. I know I spoke to Danny Barton about them coming down to look at a few lads playing and they did come down and have since spoken to a few boys but not sure of any others in that role at the club.

Just thinking what it costs for a squad's kit for every year group in every club
PLUS
full insurance for all these players when you (ie Salford Red Devils) cannot control the management of risk.

Could be a decent role for Mozza, particularly as he himself has come through the Salford amateur game. Has huge respect in RL, imagine him approaching a kids parents and asking them to come down to Salford for a trial? I am sure his son plays at Eccles, so will be aware of any half-decent players at that club already.

Do we know if this kind of work is in Garreth Carvell’s remit? I know he is looking after the under 19s but I thought his actual job was more in line with Paul Highton’s old role rather than Alan Hunte’s.

In fact, when Garreth was interviewed on BBC Radio Manchester a few weeks ago, he was talking about emulating some of the work Karl Fitzpatrick is doing at Warrington regarding player welfare. One example he gave was helping Chris Hill carve out a career as a plumber on the side; Hill now actually undertakes work alongside his professional RL careerhttps://twitter.com/premplumbing15rl.

I imagine this is a full-time job in itself.

The club recently advertised for volunteer academy performance analysts. I wonder whether a scouting network could be set up along similar lines with expenses for say travelling outside Greater Manchester and commission paid for a find that signs with the club. This is an interesting snippet from the an article about football scoutshttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24653124rl



Bar low reward, because essentially it would be a labour of love, I guess the problem here would be knowing what to look for in a player and forging links with a people in the game at various levels. I guess the Academy manager could coordinate this, however.

In answer to Chico's question it states on his twitter account bio;

"Salford Red Devils Player Welfare Manager and under 19's Head coach"
