Qld cup competition on the gold coast. Good luck to him, shame Wakefield didn't give him a shot from what I saw I thought he was developing really well.

Word is Wakefield couldn't offer him regular rugby and said they couldn't find him a club so his dad stepped in.

Another one bites the dust then, kind of makes me wonder why I bother with the club 1873 scheme. The academy set up seems to hinder a pathway into the first team as if a player isn't ready at 20 then there is nowhere for them to go but down. The dual reg system is fine but the lower leagues are now awash with released players and clubs budgets are full.

First, I know history and who the Bears are.
What I do not know is how he can be given a squad number if this move was happening, thought it must be temporary, but the above info looks like it is permanent.
We must be struggling for 'Club Trained' squad members now.

Have watched Adam since he started playing at 6 year old, i may not be quallified to a level that can decide if he will make a SL standard player but i always thought that he would.

When i saw the shirt numbers and the fact he'd got a number i hoped for the best.

Does make you wonder how the RFL expect clubs to have a certain number of club trained players in their squads but yet cull the junior competitions to make it very difficult for clubs to retain these players.

From what I've seen of Adam I had high hopes for him, I know he would have been behind a few players in our squad but I really did think he was one for the near future. Gutted to see him go but I lay the blame at the RFL's door and not the club or the players.

Even worse is you know that in 18 months time the RFL will change their minds again about youth development and realise this new system doesn't work and we'll have lost several promising youngsters all because the muppets at Red Hall can't stop tinkering.

Don't forget the clubs agreed to the changes in the junor/youth set up, not laying all the blame with this club but imo its a cost cutting exercise and its just plain wrong.

I don't blame the players, they have bust a gut and given up a lot to get to this stage and they should do whats best for them.

Clubs agreed the changes to the youth structure possibly has cost cutting exercise i agree. not just our club to blame thats true what ido hold this club to blame for is the total disrespect they showed the two accademys under20s and under 18s with a hurried halftime presentation during the last home game when in previous years yes under the old regime were invited to join the fist team on presentation night showing them the respect they deserved. is there any wonder young players have no feelings for the club i would re intrested to hear how some on here who feel the club do no wrong reply , and if our purse strings are such that instead of showing our youngsters what they should be aiming they are shown the oppisite.

I also pay into the 1873 scheme and I have wandered myself about the merits of it. We do seem to be producing players for the benefit of other clubs. Not all that come through the 1873 scheme however, are going to make it. If the scheme produces 1 player every year good enough for SL then it has been successful in my view. At least it should give us a good chance of signing the outstanding player.
I think if Adam Slater had been an oustanding prospect then the club would have made more effort to keep him.

I thought Slater was our best forward in the reserves last year, Annakin get's alot of mentions on here but I always thought Slater out played him.
