I still don't get the Cust signing. I would have thought an out and out hooker would have been a better bet rather than someone who has only played there occasionally. We have Bourouh, Balmforth and a couple of academy players waiting in the wings plus Moy can play there as well.'"
I still think we might try offload Trueman to Wakey, they'll need a better half next year, Trueman hasn't been brilliant for us and he's stupidly on marquee money, if we release him, the Cust signing makes a lot more sense.

| Sailor would be ideal as he’s got the pace we need and can play fullback or 6. I think he’s still contracted though and maybe still fancies his chance of NRL minutes so won’t be an easy deal to do. Think he could have a Kelly like impact in SL and possibly even better suited to playing 6 over here, would allow Moy/Litten a bit of game time at fullback.

That makes a lot of sense.
Signing a player as a marquee who had yet to fulfil his early potential with a worrying injury history was one more example of how poorly the cap was managed.

| Yeah, I can see Trueman being allowed to leave. Would still be disapointed if Cust is seen as the replacement 6 though. Next to Abdull, we need an explosive, quick number 6

Dream scenario..

Sao off-quota. 5 years rule.
Return of Clifford.

| No point in getting rid of Trueman unless we have a replacement signed up and replacing him without a quota spot would be near impossible. Unless we kept Walker or went with Litten/Moy/Hardraker as full backs.
I'd keep him, see how he goes with better players and a hopeful off season. Think Charles will be ready for 2026, so got a ready made replacement.

| I think Trueman will go decent next year IF (and I know it's asking a lot based on previous) he can complete this season then have a full pre season for the first time since joining us.
Posted on the game thread but I really do think he still looks nervous when running the ball and going into contact. I think ability wise he's more than good enough but until he gets confidence back in his body we won't see near the best of his ability.
It's just a big gamble with him. If we do get a chance to offload him elsewhere then I wouldn't blame the club for doing it.

Charles has got lots of potential but I agree, he'll get more game time next season but won't be a regular until 2026.

| Cannot see Clifford returning given his wife is due to give birth in December. They seem very happy back home with their families.

And the fact, they have lost Townsend.

| There are rumblings that the club are looking to move Trueman onhence the signing of Cust and looking for a fullback who can play 6.

| I cannot see many teams willing to pay Trueman a marquee salary unless he is OK taking a pay cut.

| Wakey is the rumour isn't it?
I can see Trueman going when his contract expires but not next season. I wouldn't want to be going into next season with Cust as our first choice 6 either.
