[Resurrected] The 'General' Cust

[KNUCKLES]

One of the Fox commentators said he was 90kgs, six feet tall!

181cm so 5 ft 11

 

[Freagle]

I think the back end of the year will identify where we need strengthening

Yep, true. You’d have to say, it seems as though Des can bring any player up to about 90% of what we need...but now we will have the capacity to get a couple of 100%-ers.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

I think you just summed it up perfectly in these 4 words.

Didn't look like a rookie or a fill-in making up the numbers. He looked 100% like a first grade half... as a 20 year old debutant.

Played better then ash Taylor and hes on 1 million a year LOL

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Well LG is the dominant half with a fair deal more experience. I thought Kane steered the ship quite nicely.

He had some great plays like the 1 on 1 strip and his try. The 1st half he was great the 2nd we barely had the ball. The 1 on 1 strip is the new craze

 

[Ranga]

Is a very handy backup.. but that's prob as good as it gets unfortunately. Just doesn't have the speed or strength to trouble defenses in the outside backs. Has alot of heart and effort though, and he can thank those qualities for getting him into first grade. Would of made a good winger 10 years ago..

I don’t disagree, but his try today was top notch and thoroughly deserved. I’m also confident when I see him under a high ball!

 

[Real Deal]

Should the Shire of Sutherland be dubbed 'Cade's County'?

Fans of old TV shows might remember. Glenn Ford...Edgar Buchanan..

Glenn Ford and the theme music that was odd yet catchy. It was on a compilation on an 8 track cartridge in a used car i bought. 8 track cartridge dates me.

The toughest thing for these young players to learn is consistency.
Their debut is a one off.
But It's the demands of quality and getting used to the speed and physicality that is the test.
I reckon hes up to it.
Especially with Des managing it...

Couldn't agree more. People tend to get ahead of themselves.

Great debut and looks like he has the goods. A keeper for a bench spot if we do decide to let api go after this year..

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I am a MASSIVE CC fan and I am absolutely STOKED to see the kid get his chance and take it with both hands PLUS I have not been overly impressed with LG to this point BUT...
LG's kicking game was a 10/+0 today and most of our tries were a direct result of his kicking... I am sticking with LG at this point when DCE comes back because of the way he is growing into the role... it's a happy situation tho that I would be happy if Des went with LG, CC or LC next to DCE...

Elgey also has a running game which we are yet to see really, he is settling in nicely.

Awesome game,but just might have cost us an extra couple of hundred grand to re-sign him now .Was on a bargain basement deal and everyone is looking for the next big thing.Need to do what we did with Garrick and get his signature quick smart....

Pop him back to reserves for a few games so his price stays low

. One position that needs to be filled to be genuine contenders is a strike outside back.

Young Hoppa might be fixed by next year!

People expect too much too early.
Even Manaise said he was gassed a couple of weeks ago and Cade said the same today.
Anyone who has played up a grade at any level knows the change up.
Takes time.

Why on earth would we let api go? No chance hes been great for us and fainu cant play the 80

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

We've done well with debutants so far this year!
Waddell and Garrick have barely put a foot wrong, Cust now does well, Miski.
The fact that Des has been forced to bring in players, due to injury and suspension, has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

 

[QueefRichards]

Cust was outstanding. Wasn't taking crap from Flopfita either

 

[BOZO]

Cust was Composed, Controlled and Confident in his debut

Signs of a natural leader .

Fifitas flops are a joke.
The slobs going to do some serious damage.
Makes Nathan Hindmarsh look like a copy book tackler...

Des told Cade on Thursday that he would be playing on Sunday, but to keep it to himself - this, plus back story here:

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

10 or 11 penalties in a row to the sharks and not one of Fifita’s blatant flops warranted a penalty??! Get real, there must’ve been 20 of them through the game and they got later and later as the game went on, FIfita realising the refs had put their whistles away.

 

[Harmless27]

Des Hasler in the post-match press conference:
Cade Cust, its a great story actually.... i'm not going to tell you about it, you should all get off your ar$es and investigate

Telling the reporters to do their job. Love it.

 

[Haliaeetus]

he showed a great eye for the game during the trials, kept his head on and showed he was up for it
great to see him shine during his first run in the regular season
