The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

He should never have been picked. From the first minute you could see him on one leg.

Medical staff need to be sacked.

BRING BACK FORAN!!!!!!!

Perhaps we could recruit Doueihi to play in our spine? 🙄

If he is fitish Freddy picks him. Even if we get to keep TT, missing DCE Jake and maybe Ola will be rough.

We can always hope for a Freddy Farrrkknuckle brain explosion and leave Jake out for at least game 1?

Hit the nail on the head, we won the game despite difficulties and an absolutely desperate opponent.
We've only lost 2 games all season and one of those we were ripped off on a bad forward pass call.
But yes so many negatives we may as well give up on this season and start a rebuild (joking).

We just need to rebuild Schu and Tom. But yes we're doing ok considering how little we've had those 2 contributing.

im really concerned about Tom. it looks like he's just confused and doesn't trust his body.

Go back to 2021 and he just played footy. ran hard, ran fast and it all came together. He looks broken to the core at the moment.

Getting chased down by a prop forward today was the nail in the coffin.

Every time I watch him run it reminds me of horses trotting in an equestrian event. It just seems so ridiculously unnatural. If it’s moving towards a new healthy running style I can understand, but that is probably something like a 6 month project and not to be done in the middle of a heated combative NRL game.

Latrell went over to Knowles but he didnt end up running like Tom. strange

Perhaps Knowles told Trell he was a draft horse, while Turbo was told he was a precious Arabian?

I honestly think Latrell has not adopted Knowles methods. Where as Tom is following it to the letter.

 

[Damien2812]

They'll persist with him but be prepared for a few weeks like this. He will come good. Tom however , it doesn't look good.

Let's see what happens when those scans come back.

 

[winnyason]

He is not ready give him titans game off.

Yeah my concern spoke to my eagles mad brother.
Are his hammies turned to crap and can't run properly for good ala Matt moylan ?
I know it sounds dramatic but I am onboard with shifting him to Centres for a bit like souths did with Gi.

You forgot Snake to replace Turbo.

I think he would do better at five-eight than centre considering both his recovery, and the ball playing role he is currently playing for us. However, I dont believe we should pick him at all until he is clearly not playing injured. Same applies to Schuster who seems to have put on 10 kgs since the preseason.

Yeah I did think of 6. Is he injuried or is this Yankie making him run weird ??
Don't get me wrong he still makes a difference but he has zero speed.
Schuster yeah I worry about soft tissue injuries

too many white lines on the field to have snake back... oh hang on I cant say that about one of my all-time favorite players can I??????

Bring back Eddie Hayson and the old band will be back 🙂

could have done with a ducks and drakes utility on the bench today. pretty poor decision by the coaching team really.
And before anyone goes off and mentions easy in hindsight lets just look at the facts.

1. we have a glass-brittle champion fullback at the moment that always looks broken.
2. we have the shoe whos out more than in and looks really unfit.
4. we have Hank the tank in the centers that gets knocked out on a regular basis.

so to run with 4 forwards one of which was woods was a huge drop of the ball.

100% and even if you don't take the above into account, it is basically a given in the modern game that you will cop an injury or hia to an outside back basically every game... there was only room for keppie or Woods today, not both!

It could be a good thing to see Schu should go back to the second row

As part of their remit, forwards need to take ugly hit-ups and make metres to get the team on the front foot.

I have never seen Josh do this particularly well in his 40 or so NRL matches to date... Most of which were in the second row.

 

[Remy]

It's a rough one for Schuey, I just want him to be right and play the footy we all know he can.

 

[globaleagle]

I see a young man who gave up representing his country to work a whole off season getting himself fit and firing for the season. As far as I (we) can see, he did everything he could and probably more than a lot of 'stars' his age.

I'm as disappointed as everyone else with his injuries but I wont resort to calling a young man playing a brutal sport useless, uncommitted, or a waste of salary cap either.

Injuries are frustrating but we all look foward to see the magic he can bring to Manlys' game.

It's tough when we look at the spine and see an injured fullback and 5/8th, a halfback who is more off the cuff than directing a team, and a makeshift hooker as our preferred one is er, doing time, but I'll happily take second place on the ladder.

All the best Josh!
