Custs inability to find a team mate with a simple pass is nothing to do with being match fit. He’s just rubbish.

You have to laugh at the faithfull who still try to make a case for signing dross

I'm not a fan of the Cust signing and have been very vocal about it, but I don't think it's fair to judge him on last night, hasn't played for ages, played with a bunch of young kids, playing the best team in the league away, he will be rusty and looked to be trying too hard. Making out he is a bad signing on the back on this game is madness, there are other reasons to justify why he isn't a great signing (and others why he could be a useful one), but don't think judging him on one performance in difficult circumstances is one of them.

Well said Dave but you are wasting your time.

Already written off before he's officially announced.

At least we have already found next season's scapegoat.

Cust will get plenty of game time in the half's next year with abdul fat, unfit and having a dodgy knee

I’m not making a case for signing him. Just stating facts. A player who has had No first team game time and is then thrown in with half a team who haven’t either, is hardly likely to be able to produce anything like the performance you demand

You are wasting your time my friend.

Arguing with the sort of ‘toxic’ fans some ex players refer too?

Pretty much my thoughts, on balance and to put things in to context last night, Salford with the whole host of changes to their regular 17 looked very similar to us, which is no surprise.

I'm no Cust fan and still can't understand the reasoning behind his apparent signing but to judge him or Bourouh on last night is pointless.

I get what people are saying but I’ve said from day dot they are both poor signings, last night certainly didn’t change my mind.

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Fri Sep 20, 2024 9:52 am  

Cleary and Harry Grant wouldn’t stand out in that Salford team.

We don't know if they are poor signings yet.

Plenty of people thought Nu Brown was a good signing especially after his NZ apperances last Autumn. Conversely some thought Ashworth was a poor signing but he's done OK.
