| Personally think it's a good signing. He's a quality player and you only have to read how highly he was thought of at Wigan and praised for his professionalism. Just unlucky with French and Smith ahead of him and also unlucky with injuries but hopefully he can have an injury free season next year. In JC (not Clarky) we trust.

| Cust is a decent signing, was well thought of at Wigan and Cartwright knows him.
People taking about Reynolds should remember he's not a free agent, he's contracted to Rovers until the end of 2025.

| We seem to have a lot of spine players signed for next year and still looking for a full back. I expect cust will play hooker and walker and smith move on. Lack of outside backs is a worry currently so hopefully more quality to come there.

| I don't mind Cust as a player but just seems a strange move to sign him as a backup (which he might not be).
Absolutely desperate for a quality centre, it's easily our weakest area.
If we sign a quality overseas centre and an attacking fullback, then I'm OK with Cust, if we go with Carlos, Hardraker and Chamberlain I'll be very disappointed with the Cust signing.

| With positive hat on, better than Rimba. Much better than Smith and for all the talk of being back up (including me, he will start as hooker if fit, with the other two hookers fighting for a bench spot.
Good needed cover for halfback too.

| Couldn't agree more Dave. So long as we have at least one other quality centre and second row lined up it's been a pretty good turnover of players for year one of a rebuild. It's certainly a better squad than last year. As someone else has eluded to, Salford are a good example of what can be achieved with perceived lesser players and a good coach.

2nd row I don't think we are too bad, Holmes, Cartwright, Lane, Staveley and Jebson. Depends on how good Cartwright is I suppose.
Could we get Sao off quota with the new rules?

| He'd definitely be worth keeping if we can. Whilst his form has been off at times and I always fancied him as a back row, I think his form in the middle has been pretty solid this season and the stats seem to support that. We could really do with a Danny Divet/Willie Manu type in the back row but it's probably not as important as adding another centre. I have high hopes for the young duo in the back row so you are probably right on that one.

Agree on all that, Sao much better as a prop and we could do with a line breaking/offloading backrower.

Massive shame Staveley did his ACL this year. Think people are forgetting about him, wouldn't be surprised to see him as first choice with Cartwright Jnr this time next year

| Carlos will be off quota if the new rules get the go ahead. I f he can have a strong and injury free run to the end of the season then i'd look to give him another year. Think he'd make a good second rower and have a similar impact to what Watkins has had at Salford since switching positions.

| 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

I think Cust will be our starting 9 and cover the halves when we get injuries.
