The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

[LeonardCohen]

That was quite an obvious problem at the start of the season , the 6 and 13 positions and the depth factor as well . Shu did start the season quite well at 6 , Alioia mostly putting in but still doesn 't look like the most suited choice as a 13 . and again the lack of depth in both positions . .

I thought he had some good moments against the Eels but he was absolute shot in defence a couple of times and looked totally out on his feet. I was hoping it was lack of match fitness, but now I am thinking it might have been lack of fitness altogether. Outside of a few good touches against the Eels, he has not been sighted.

In light of Kristie’s comment, it’s starting to sound like it’s more of a disciplinary stand down of Schuster than simply an injury recovery.

I would suggest that was immediately obvious when DCE spoke last week about it being 'tough' for Schu to make it back to FG, paired with the announcement of 'reconditioning work'. I have never heard that term be used to refer to someone who is physically injured and simply cannot play. They usually just go on the injured list and that's the last you hear about it.

Sure, but Kristie’s comment pretty much confirms it IMO.

He would do well to move to Canberra and play under Ricky now that Wighton is gone.
It suits both the club and himself.
Manly can use that money to buy a couple of solid players that aren't flash but can do a job, especially in the centre and the forward positions.

Yep! It's interesting that it comes from Kristie too because the Fulton clan scouted Schu and from what I have heard (only speculating), were part of the push to get him in the 6, at the expense of Foran.

In reflection, it sounds like it’s last chance saloon for Schuster!

For the club (both coach & captain) to say what they said & now for Kristie to back them with further insight into Schuster’s failings (as a person who probably feels burned by the club), it takes on a whole new level of severity IMO.

Yep I think it’s definitely a line in the sand moment. Last chance saloon I would say

I wonder if Tartak agitates Schuster to get fit as much as he agitated the club to move him to 5/8th & upgrade his contract?

Haha. Kristie loves those kids, so for her to come out like that there is a big issue with his attitude.

I think Tartak has milked this cow dry, he'd be onto the next one now. He's a master getting contracts like this through, I'd like to take him into my next EBA.

 

[The '47ers]

Do we know if the Shu is a popular figure ?

If, if he's on $800k a year I'd be sure they'd all be disappointed in him more than anything. Getting all that $ but not putting in the effort for it, would annoy the other battlers in the squad.

The game's history is littered with great talents who never really fulfilled their early promise. Has there ever been a more talented player than Phil Blake? Yet in long first grade career he never really dominated,Manly let him go after a while, he ended up making a solitary appearance for NSW.
How about Bryce Cartright? Or the Eels wonderkid halfback who sank without trace after one stellar season.
These days everyone in NRL is competing with a bunch of medium-talent but driven fitness fanatics and the nature of the game means those types will eventually beat you.

He didn't play the start of the season, he was injured.

As they say.. talent will only get you so far, but nothing beats hard work
