Cade Cust out of contract....

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Lol well you’d hope he’d produce a bit more than them considering they’ve had 5-6 games between them and Cust had 3 seasons !!

If you want to compare apples with apples Croker is the better comparison

Cade has produced more in those games than Johns / Arthur has during the time theyve been here.

And whats Croker got to do with it?...if you want to go there then yes he is a better player than Croker.

Ahhh, just what we need! Another half!
I do like Cade though. Good bloke.

DCE isn't going to be around forever...but my point being Cust might have been a better and cheaper by than Brooks.

 

[JenEagle]

bring him back. He is probably better than luke brooks. He was awesome for us.

 

[XV-1]

Tigers can have Fainu, I prefer Cust over him since you already know what you are going to get with him in 1st Grade. Cust could be a successor to DCE at 7.

I believe Manly have made that bed. His name is Brooks

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Can't remember Johns or Arthur winning us games, yet they seem to get more opportunities in the 1st team than Cade ever did.

That's because Des hardly gave opportunities out to the youngsters. He had his favourites and only gave opportunities through injuries. Remember..

 

[Rosko]

If we had announced the signing of Cade Cust on Monday instead of Luke Brooks... sigh

 

[Ryan]

Cust, Fainu, Humphries...replaced with Johns, Arthur and Brooks.

Deary me.

Hey mate:

1. Humphreys is still here
2. Brooks is the best in that list by a country mile
3. Who says Arthur won't be way better than Cust?

1. He is, but with the signing of Brooks / Arthur / Johns he won't be getting a run soon.
2. Brooks is the best, I agree, but you could probably get Cust for maybe half the price to do a job almost as good as Brooks.
3. He could be, but Cust was brilliant in his time here. Cust has won us a few games, I've yet to see Arthur do that yet.

Cade on the Cust of Return

I would have preferred a halves pairing of a Custard tart with a Cherry on top, and maybe a side of Schustershire sauce and Guacamole....but ill give the Garlic Aioli a big miss.

No thanks.
The comment that he 'was brilliant in his time here' is the biggest laugh I have had in a while. Cust's Mum should not post here!

Does the truth hurt?

 

[globaleagle]

did anyone read down the article far enough to see....

Since then, Cust has a Challenge Cup winners’ medal in his locker, but has found opportunities difficult to come by in 2023 due to injury and form – a predicament which has seen Wigan head coach Matt Peet utilise Cust as a substitute hooker.

Don't forget the Reuben

That's wrong, Cust has had way more opportunities than Johns or Arthur.
Arthur has only played for Manly twice! One of those from the bench.
Cust had 27 games for Manly, including 15 at 5/8.
True that Manly thought he may have improvement still in him, which is why they wanted that option if he was going to return to Australia.

Can't forget the beverages as well...Coca Koula.

Can't say Johns has done better than Cust based on what's been seen already.

Don't tell me you want to give Johns another crack at 1st grade. Come on man!

 

[Jay Eagle]

Cade is a solid footballer but his not the answer.. he's not a 9 and he wasn't a half that was going to win us a premiership.. he had lots of opportunities.. we have Brooks coming so no need for Cust.. I'm not sure too many clubs will be lining up for services even though clubs like the Tigers,Dragons and Dogs need a half he hasnt even been mentioned

 

[Mal Cochrane]

Cust was brilliant? That's getting carried away....

No I don't think Johns has done better than cust at all, and if Johns goes to England I'm sure Manly won't ask for first option if he returns.
I was only pointing out it was wrong to say Johns and Arthur have got a lot more oppportunities in 1sts than Cust did, it's actually far the opposite.

Anyway with Brooks Schu and DCE, I doubt Arthur will get many more chances at half, and Johns is gone after this year, surely.
