Been here 3 years hasn't he? Can't even get in the salford team
Just to be clear I’d much prefer we used the quota spot elsewhere but for perspective we will finish the season rock bottom as the worst team in the competition and Cust is obviously a decent SL level player. I don’t know the ins and outs of budgets and who we targeted before him but maybe someone who can’t get in the Salford team is just our level now. It’s a shame we couldn’t get him in for whatever for the end of the season.
I say decent player because he seemed to play pretty regularly in a good Wigan team, and I’m sure he played a fair bit at hooker for them in the run in last season. Also he played nearly 30 NRL games by the age of 22 with a decent try scoring ratio, most of which while Cartwright was his assistant coach at Manly. That’s better than many players who have ended up doing well in SL. I think it’s the coaches recommendation and It’s not exactly blinkered to think he might even still have a bit of improvement at 25.
