Not just that, Schuster played 6 against the Eels at BankWest and that was our best performance of the year

You only have to go back and watch the Parra game and imagine Schuster been first receiver or getting half the football that Evans get in 2022 .Maybe they should swap Schuster instead of Foran .

He wont be going anywhere
Combination of Schuster and Fainu will be awesome at 7 and 6 if it happens .
100 % agreed with you .If Schuster gets 50-50 ball with Evans ,he will excel and the team will to .

Club had that player option on foz and on reflection could have upgraded his previous contract value ,.. no doubt deserved some upgrade on last season "s effort

It reminds me of the Tele talking about Kurtley Beale who was a league-playing boy from Mt Druitt. They made a rugby pedigree based on him having driven past a rugby game once, prior to being given a private school scholarship.
I thought it was two ( which is why he was signed for two years at the time ).
But I could be wrong

A couple of things in our favour:
1. Newcastle and Wests don't have the same opportunity to win a premiership in 2022.
2. Neither club would be willing to risk him for big $s given his history with injuries and his age. It's more likely they'd pay an extra 100-200k at the most. I doubt that would be enough to see him jump ship. If he could earn a mil, of course, he'd walk but it'd be a crazy move to leave Manly again to run around with a club that probably has no realistic chance of winning a comp.
He doesn't need to be a marquee man at a club anymore either. His body can't take it all falling on him. That's a huge reason why he had a successful year with injury in 2021. He could pick his moments, whereas at Canterbury, it was all on his shoulders and his body took a hammering.

If Pearce was staying (Fox’s best mate), I’d say Newcastle would be a good chance however, Pearce is not staying.
I think Foz’s mother still lives in St Ives, so maybe he spends a night or so there during the week, to make the early training starts.
Foz was really close to Brenda, so we really do not know how much Brenda contributed via her third party payment (bless her) and what he is actually being paid.
It’s all just scuttlebutt by the media and while Ritchie may know that the Tigers and Knights are interested, maybe through Foz’s manager, who may be trying to push Manly for another year’s contract.
I was sceptical how his body would hold up this year however, I think he added value to the team. He’s not the same player he was 5 years ago physically, when he constantly took on the line and I think Des is using him as a ‘link’ player and an alternate kicking option.
He’s also a leader and I remember him ‘going off’ at the team behind the goal line, I think against the Warriors in Round 5 and the team really lifted after that.
So yep, he adds value, experience and leadership to the team and I think he will add value to Schu in terms of his evolvement to a a 6 for 2023.

The Tigers have been unhappy with Brooks for the last two seasons and Newcastle want him with Pierce gone. With Doueihi out until May the Tigers need a 5/8 for the early part of next season so both sides have real need and I would not be surprised if it were being discussed. I agree with Snake that they will have will throw big dollars at Foran to move out of a squad on the rise and a real chance at a premiership soon. If they do he might take the super fund.
Veteran half linked with Brookvale departure
A career-best season could be followed by a surprise move.

If Foz wants to leave, good riddance and don't forget to close the door
He caused such schiit at Manly thru his out and out lying to Manly. If there is any resemblance of truth to these rumours, get rid of the head case.
Bring Sch in to learn his trade at 5/8th.

Like most silvertails I think Foran is going no where. It is feasible that he may look to rekindle his bromance with Andrew Johns in Newcastle considering he is now thier halves coach as he once was at Manly early in Fozs’s career. Johns has always being a fan. I don’t believe Johns would be seriously considering Tex hoy as a go to half. A back up at best imo.

Since Johns has been on the Knights staff he has given Brooks advice to go to the Knights (in the media) in contravention of contract rules, now this. Bet they are glad he is on board.
You didn't see we resigned your buddy Walker ? haha

Look, coming back "home" has done wonders for Foz and I think he'd be crazy to go. I also think we'd be crazy to entertain the idea of letting him. But strange things happen when money and rugby league are concerned, especially when teams are desperate.
