Yes he is, only sounds like this year, no harm in the signing, if he is rubbish, he fits right in, needs a new contract so puts him in the shop window.

At least we haven't given up on the season.

I’ve said from the off I’ve never ever known a club sign a load of senior experienced players like this on 2 and 3 year deals as ‘squad players’ or ‘back ups’ it just doesn’t happen like that. The players signed have been signed as first choice to play. If anyone thinks we’ve just brought in some good pro’s to fill out the squad before bringing in some better players in the same positions I’ve got some magic beans to sell to sell them.

The only thing that I will say is that Cust could be a better player then what he’s shown over here so far. He was highly rated in Australia and seemed a coup for Wigan just a couple of years ago. I think he’s struggled a bit mostly because of the injuries he’s had, but it’s a risk to just assume that he can get over these issues.

Apart from Chamberlain which players have signed 2 or 3 years and will be backs ups?

Which position do you see Hardaker being a regular starter in?

Considering he is our only real centre, you take a guess.

Good to hear that our only real centre is really a full back but not good enough to play that position for his current club as 1st choice
