Wow what a shock, didn't see that coming...

Odd timing Friday night before a Grand Final, maybe it's the social media teams last post before holiday time or something

Interestingly the press release says ‘the ability to deputise at hooker when required’ usually these things push a narrative and if the plan was him as the starting nine I think they’d have made more of an emphasis on that.

Strange signing with all things considered, but it’s obvious he Cartwrights man as he showed real promise at Manly. Sometimes you just have to back the coach, concerning that proven coaches like Rowley and Peet haven’t got the best out of him though. I know people say it for every signing but honestly think it could be a shrewd signing.

He's a great 'number 14' for us is equally comfortable at 9 or in the halves and gives us genuine options during a game if we need to change things around. I think he's a good bit of business.

Maybe the Cust signing is insurance, IF Abdull fails to get into a decent fitness condition .

Deffo. Cartwright knows Sezer and Cust well think they might be his first 6 and 7 if we have the luxury of having all 3 ready for for the start of the season. If JA is fit and ready knocking on the door Cust could always move to 9 or 14 down the line.

All 3 of them wouldn’t have been my first choice signings by a long shot but I like the idea of having 3 senior halfbacks. It was night and day the difference when we had Reynolds for a few games this year, we need experienced cover in the spine or everything falls apart.

I like Custs attitude, knows there are some doubters and wants to prove them wrong

It’s an upgrade on Morgan Smith for sure, for that utility role.

Rapana is on his way

Love this from him. Love nothing more than to see a player prove the doubters wrong.

When does Cartwright arrive?

Think he's due to arrive in a couple of weeks time.

Going by his social media it looks like Smith is staying at Hull.

What has he said, I'm sure I've read he has signed for Sheffield?

Saying rest up and go again next year. A few of the players liking and commenting on his post. Still wouldn't be surprised if he does move on.

Carty will have Cust playing like a prime Darren Lockyer.
