People go and watch the shoes press conference from last week where he was talking it up etc
you don’t roll out a presser like that and then pull out and don’t play a week later
100% something more is going on big time

I mean....possibly.
But also it is not uncommon for injuries to be reaggrevated.
Sure there could be some conspiracy but my bet is on a little flare up and with no trial games and the long haul flights they figure best to pull him round one and then have the extra fortnight to have him ready round 2.
In fact, wouldn't be surprised if he gets some minutes for Blacktown on the 9th of March.

we shall see i guess but this smells of a huge cover up IMO
his whole off season has for the matter
Honestly we have the troops to cover his loss and they are all better defenders than him also
Schu seems to have a fairly flat-footed running style to my uneducated eye, maybe that makes him more susceptible to calf issues.
Meanwhile, love all the 'feelings' and cover-up theories flying around in this thread!

Agree with that observation. No a natural fluent ruining style. It would have been foolish to throw him in against the Rabbits in Vegas when he is under done. Early days we have a long season ahead. Depth is key and fortunately we have good depth this year.Schu seems to have a fairly flat-footed running style to my uneducated eye, maybe that makes him more susceptible to calf issues.

No no, that's very 20th century (or even -3 to 20th century!) - nowadays conspiracies rule!

Love the way our Coach Club have come out and said the shoe won't be going to the US of A's. If in any doubt take the conservative approach. He can add to our team in big moments if he's on. But ya don't win a premiership in February. Not on the field anyway.
I would rather have said nothing and have Souths playing the Guessing Game in their heads

With so many people on his back … it doesn’t surprise me that he has a calf sprain!
Just sayin’

Yeah I can understand your logic mate. Any upper hand against those butchers. I just wonder if the club have the Shoe best interest front and centre here. Media would have had one story before the donkeys trial. One story before the flight to the US of A. One story in the build up in Vegas. Cameras everywhere in Vegas wanting an interview. You know what, I reckon staying home, staying out of that spot light and just training the best that the Shoe can ATM might be exactly what he needs. He's had a couple of horrible weeks u would imagine. Let's judge the shoe by his performances on field this year from round 6 on wards.
From Rd 6 !!!...lol..

Yeah let's lower our expectations here. He's missed a bit of pre season in the last month or so we're told. Just been a witness at an inquest for a couple of weeks which would have been a tough gig mentally for anyone. Now rehabilitation for a couple more weeks. Add missing Rd 1 and not training or being with the top team for a couple of weeks more. We all hope he's fit and firing soon, but if anyone's had a couple of months or so on light duty's, can we really expect em to be at top fitness? mentally focused? insinc with a team they may not have trained with for a couple of months? I reckon the Shoe at least deserves another month to be match fit, to be fair.

Very good point. If it is just an injury, he can play a ‘trial’ for Blacktown. If he can’t play at all by 9 March, he’s not playing a full NRL game 17 March.
I get what your saying DH, but, not sure the majority of Manly fans may see it that way though. Up until his latest injury Schuster has been very solid and really putting in the effort with pre season training, so his fitness levels should be good. 2 to 3 weeks tops for the Schu to get back, anything more and the message boards could get ugly.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned.
The worry for me is he's going to be defending inside Brooks on the left edge. For eighty minutes. That is going to be an issue.
Burbo and Parker are much safer options defensively here.
