The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

[Stewbojevic]

IMO, when he comes back from his injury I think Des should leave Davey in the back row, move Jake to starting prop with Aloiai and put Schuster in at lock as an extra ball player.

Jake has peaked as a lock and I think its time he moved back to the front row. Schuster has more skill than Jake and would be better linking with DCE, Foz and Turbo (when he's back) on either side of the ruck.

Where do you think Schuster goes when Walker comes on?

and The Lawman?

The other thing to consider is the defensive workload. If Shoe plays lock he needs to hold up defensively. He tackles well but there’s a big difference from making 10-15 tackles on an edge to making 40+ in the middle. I’m sure he could but how much does that blunt his attacking effectiveness? I think people under rate what Jake does for us with 40+ tackles, 15+ hit ups as well as playing that link role every week.

Thankfully that's for Des to work out and not me.

Davey claimed in a recent interview that he used to be able to do the stuff that Schuster does when he was younger?! Pfft pull the other one.

Not so sure about that mate @nightster Bullemore on the bench provides us with more versatility than Taupau, Keppie or Sipley. I would also like to see Schuster tried at lock, with Jake moved permanently into the prop rotation. Even Davey as lock, with Schuster on the left edge could work. Its a good problem for Manly to have as we basically have all of our forwards available for selection soon.

8. Aloiai
9. Croker
10. Jake
11. Ola'katau
12. Schuster
13. Davey

14. Walker
15. Lawton/Bullemore
16. Paseka
17. Taupau/Keppie/Sipley

I don’t disagree but I think he (Bully), is not at the top of Des’s list

Yeah, so could I

Schuster straight back to the left edge.

Jurbo/walker combo at lock is working great for defensive workload and ball playing spark.

In the backyard.

Against his grandmother.

He was so good he didn't play first grade until how old??

 

[Kalvin]

No way I would be dropping Davey... if you recall our powderpuff forwards after the first 2 rounds!
In saying that, we need to find room for the Schu in the 17 once fit!

A good conundrum to have... I'm sure their will be other injuries and most will get their chance

 

[Spartan Eagle]

As they say he's a 'shoe in' in the starting line up when fit to play.

If Schu is fit this week then surely he'll be picked on the bench for his first run of the year.
It makes sense that Marty gets some time to get over his niggles.
But if Marty is selected today then Keppie may be the odd man out. Even if he's back in by game day! (good way to send a message to Keppie)

 

[alafua8]

They can add Schuster on the bench with Walker, Lawton and ( Keppie or Bullemor ) . Give Marty a rest and start with Aloiai and Paseka .They can also give Foran a rest and play Schuster at 6 .

Marty needs the message more so than Keppie..

We will need to come up with different combinations if we are to beat Penrith and Melbourne or just sit back and hope for a miracle to win the title in 2022 . Let's go Manly .

 

[Snoz1976]

I thought I read last week he was out of rehab and commenced field sessions. I would think maybe another 2 weeks but only a guess. Depends how he is physically after not being able to run for extended time.

Schuster's injury woes now come with a Schuster injury loading +2wks.

 

[alafua8]

With the team going well ,Des would not want to rush back injured players .Looks like it was always going to be after round 6 for Schuster's ankle injury .
