Adam Watene memorial service
THE city of Wakefield joined forces Thursday night to pay their last respects to "gentle giant" Adam Watene.
More than 1,000 friends, fans and players gathered at Wakefield Cathedral for a moving memorial service to the star, just hours after a funeral service for the Wakefield Wildcats prop took place in his native New Zealand.
The 31-year-old's death sent shockwaves through the community after he collapsed and died following a gym session on Monday October 13.
Mr Watene lived with his wife Moana, and two children, son Arana, 10, and daughter Ena, four, at their home in Castleford.
