Quote: Steve0 "The only way the Cust signing makes sense is if Trueman is leaving, wonder if he'll follow Cam Scott to Wakey? In my opinion he shouldn't be a marquee player, wonder if Richie and Mr Cartwright are thinking the same'"
That's the way I see it. Cust has played the vast majority of his career at 6 but can do a job at 9 if needed. This season he's played a few games off the bench at 9 but 6 is by far his best position.
Trueman, Abdull and Cust all high earners fighting for 2 places doesn't make sense salary cap wise when we have Charles and maybe Reynolds as back up.
If we are releasing Trueman to accommodate him that makes much more sense but I'm not sure he's better and additionally we lose a valuable quota place.
Odd signing in more ways than one.
