MANLY RISING STAR'S CONTRACT REMAINS BLANK
If you were to award a most underrated player in the first half of the season, Manly youngster Cade Cust would go close to taking the gong.
The promising halfback, who earned rave reviews from Immortal Andrew 'Joey' Johns after a recent match, proved the difference as the Sea Eagles outclassed a determined Cowboys side last weekend.
Cust overshadowed his more illustrious halves partner Daly Cherry-Evans with a couple of big plays that turned the game - and it's for this reason the Sea Eagles are so desperate to extend his deal beyond this season.
Cust has agreed to a new contract but has yet to sign it - and so long as that contract remains blank, he is fair game for rival clubs who are circling and showing plenty of interest.
