Manly doing their signings in the last 24 hours.
I wish we could sign someone named DeLorean - how cool would that be??!!
 
Schuster eyes Manly captaincy after signing three-year, $2.4m extension


Reading that it sounds like he is playing 5/8th in attack and 2nd row in defence.
DCE and Brooks just pass the ball to him ( or run if it's on) and he will control Turbo and the centre.

I hope his naivety is not being feed BS by Seibs.
 
Given that we win 70% of games when Tom plays ...... Every single player ... including Daffy Duck and Gonzo ... have great results when Tom is in the team and switched on ...

In fact ... I reckon even I would get great results playing in a team with Tom firing ... Fair Dinkum even @Ryan would get great results when Tom is in the team and switched on ...
I'd play for free, too :) before I got absolutely smashed and knocked clean out in tackle one, I'd bust my balls, and give everything - all 4 metres before I was gassed haha.

I'm pretty sure there's a height restriction for this sport though, isn't there? As you've read here, I'm pretty vertically challenged ! Haha.

You're not Cameron Cullen are you?
 
Schuster is manly through and through. He loves the place. Every press conference all he says is I love this joint, I’ve been here since I was 14.

Siebold takes the six off him for next year and he says no worries good plan I love this place and I want to be captain one day and he signs.

I know we offered a lot of money but he easily could have said I want to play six so I am going somewhere else. He didn’t. He said I love this place and signed.

Spot bloody on Jen.

People need to look at the footage in the backend if last year versus this, to see how much work he's put in.

He'll play rep footy at some point in my view. Secondly, you WANT your players to have confidence and ego in themselves.

The reason those 2008 and 2011 teams were so great, is because they carried themselves with a touch of arrogance, because they knew they could back it up - and I see that as a good thing.

+1. Not saying Schuster is the same, but some players might feel they need the cockiness to play well.
Gordon Tallis, Wendell Sailor, Luai (subjective),etc.
 
(IMO) Locks have essentially become the modern day 5/8 (second receiver) with 2 halfbacks (first reciever) managing one side of the field each. And Schuster is far more a 6 than a 7 in a traditional sense. It makes sense, and plenty have already called for the move but, it could still open our defense up through the middle if he can't attack and tackle
They are primarly ball players these days but if you take Yeo as the prototype they play first receiver and allow the 6/7 to play with more width.
