The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

[Seagles68]

Manly doing their signings in the last 24 hours.

I wish we could sign someone named DeLorean - how cool would that be??!!

 

[KNUCKLES]

I have to hand it to him, if nothing else, he's ballsy saying he'd like to be the next Captain. I'm glad he's staying and I reckon he could be a very good 13 if he knuckles down. But geeez, one thing at a time mate!

Kid has tickets on himself haha
Good to see though.
Confidence is important..
But prove yourself worthy first!!

Schuster eyes Manly captaincy after signing three-year, $2.4m extension

Schuster eyes Manly captaincy after signing three-year, $2.4m extension

Josh Schuster decided to stay put just hours after learning that Luke Brooks was coming to take his Manly No.6 jersey.

www.google.com

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.

Captaincy - pass thanks.

That must have been written by his manager.

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.

I wish, the blokes a giant in comparison to me hahahah

He's only 5"5.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Why or why does the ego stand tall and we hear talk of captaincy. Come on just earn your spot.?

 

[Ryan]

He's only 5"5.

Okay haha, we are much closer than I thought then. He didn't look THAT much shorter than the others on the field !

I wonder what Matt Orford was? And Tooves.

I think they're round the 5"5 - 5"6 height. Still short though.

 

[Ryan]

Luke "Ryan" Brooks 🫣

Haha, what I lack in height, I make up for in spirit.

Bourbon, Vodka, Rum, Beer. All of them.

You're not related to this guy are you?

Ivor Watts - Wikipedia

Ivor Watts played for Hull FC. He is 5"0.

ROFL!

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.

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Ivor Watts 5"0, and played centre. lol
Imagine if he was up against GI or Campbell Graham. ROFL!

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.

 

[Will on the hill]

(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.
