When there is no DCE; Cust is an absolute must. The mad scientist's Walker experiment has been debunked FFS!

Manly need to make a call on Cust. Looks far too good to barely play first grade. best 40/20 of the year as well

Although the 40/20 was awesome, I am not sure he pulls that off consistently.
With the players and cover we have for 9, 6, 7, Cust is always going to be 18th man IMO.

Would be the perfect successor for DCE. But he's not going to wait that long. He's a very talented player with underrated potential but he's just not been used fairly and able to show that on a consistent level. For the betterment of him, I hope a team like Doggies sign him up.

He is contracted until the end of next season. I doubt there will be clubs lining up to sign him come november 1. Sadly for him his future probably lies at MWSE in whatever role we need him to fill. He is probably a tad shy of being good enough for other clubs to offer him a full-time halves gig, and I highly doubt we are thinking he will be DCE's successor and are scouring all possible talent. Will the youngest Fainu be good enough in 3 years? Is he the one we are banking on by showing our solidarity with Manase?

Could be the succession plan for Foz?? both off contract at the end of 22. I hope he stays on in the maroon and white as it would be a shame to lose someone that has played most of their junior footy here. The kid can play and has a good combo with haumole already

Cust is a tough little character with elements of Toovey. But he's behind one of the best half backs in the game and a revitalised Foran. And if Foran goes Schuster will almost definitely replace him. So where does he go. Sad because he's first grade standard and plays well. But he's not as good as those three...at least not yet as I see it.

Trouble is Lawton left the field with what looked a serious injury. May not be available from this point. Cust therefore moves up the rank. However remember Jake is coming back too.
Except Tooveys resilience. Cust seems to be injured every 3rd week.
I am a Cust fan , however not sure of his ball distribution skills.

No chance fullback

Reserve Grader
Fullback? I dont see it. Probably just worse than walker in that position. Hooker and halfs sure
Mango did OK at full back and I think Preston Campbell played there as well. Maybe a good topic for conversation. Memorable short full backs. Memorable tall half backs. Best skinny front rowers etc.
