To be fair Garrick had to negotiate 2 small speed bumps in Gutho and Moses.

You obviously missed it. Garrick was going full speed down the side line and who was in support. Walker and Schuster. I've seen Schuster keep up with DCE. I think you're missing when he stretches out. I can assure you what I saw was not Haa haa

Garrick did but he then stretched out full pelt. And Schuster was there with Walker when he needed to pass. Watch again. I'm not suggesting he's as fast as Garrick, Saab or Turbo. But I am saying definitely he is quite quick, especially off the mark and if you watch, and I hope you do, he is often one of the support players outside a break. Not bad for a player who averages 28 tackles a match. Not sure what you guys expect.

But somehow got ran down 30m out with no one near him. He's not fast at all! Garrick would beat Schuster by 15m over 100m

Is this the one? Seems Schuster has a 5m headstart and Garrick had caught him within 15m haha

Maybe the lads on this site that were saying he was fast are just slow fat fukers..

Yeah but Schuster has no reason not to let Garrick catch him as quickly as possible. It gives Garrick the additional option of a support runner sooner.

On his junior days, Schuster seemed to have reasonable natural speed, but his body shape & weight has changed considerably since then. In the coming off season, maybe he should train to reduce his weight to 105 kg. This wouldn't diminish his skills but should enhance his stamina & speed. At the 45 second mark of this video he scores a 90 metres intercept try - something a slow runner couldn't do (he doesn't appear to be running fast though)

Agreed but the argument was that he kept up with Garrick. He is quite slow and that's just fact.
He has more than 10 metres head start on Garrick and Garrick zooms past in a flash.
Wouldn't be surprised if the reason Garrick decided to steamroll over Gutho and Moses was that the only nearby support was slow-coach Schuster

Scintillating Sea Eagles strike from long range
Manly keep getting better and better, this time they score from deep inside their own half through Dylan Walker

Nor was Glen Stewart a speedster and we all remember how important he was to that squad. Its about balance and strike across the park. Wingers and outside backs need to be much faster than edge forwards. We have wonderful balance in a highly talented squad. I’m loving it!

Mute point. I dont ever recall seeing Arty beetson play.

Just recall Schuster finishing off a movement and scoring against the Broncs in magic round and Milford making up little ground on him so Schuster looked quick enough then . If he has dropped a yard or so since then for whatever reason, [ and i am sure it would only be marginal if it has occurred ] not that relevant i think , he still has the necessary ability and strength to be a threat in attack , even against the better defences . Doesn't have to score run away tries and again still seems mobile enough for his present role .

Ironic that Artie used to be a centre , occasional winger before his sensational transition to the forwards . Very promising tennis player apparently also before he fully concentrated on league
The disadvantage of being old is that I'm going to miss seeing a lot of future champions. Ahh well, best just to just enjoy life while you've got it.
Shuey looks like he is caught up with the buffet and this bloody lockdown .As long as he is doing his second row duties that's all we ask of him .Let's judge his exact speed when he looses 10kgs. and starts playing 6 . Interesting to hear a few on here that wanted Ruben sacked after the first 4 rounds complaining he was slow ,etc etc .

Maybe his calf injury has restricted the amount of running training he can do. For whatever reason, he doesn't appear to be totally well/fit (IMO).
