The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

[47MVEagle]

Madness!

Everyone was banging on about how Des playing Foran at 5/8th would result in us losing Schuster, now because Schuster's injured again all of a sudden keeping Schuster is terrible because it's forcing Foran out.

There's another bloke in our squad who suffered a lot of injuries in his early career & he had the BEST.SEASON.IVVUR. last year. I'm glad we kept him!

We seem to be spending money on Ferraris that spend half their time in the workshop. Not much use up on blocks every year.

 

[Jerry1]

Yet the bloke we pay jack **** to & thought was busted is about the best we have.... And were looking to offload him for Mr. play once in a while.

 

[zfinkels]

Maybe Schu’s manager can play 5/8 for us this time next year when we don’t have one.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Jotrell Schuchell.

Lashua Mister.

Looks a little like him too.

I hope he develops a ‘yes-look pass’ at some point.

Not a fan of being held to ransom by player-managers. If the stories are at all true, looks like the Russian 4WD (Tartak) made his move when Manly were going through one of their regular CEO-free moments.

 

[Kalvin]

Far out not too long ago most on here were complaining about us signing an injury prone foran and how we shouldn't be blocking the future talent being Schuster!
2 injuries later and the tables have turned... unbelievable!

 

[KNUCKLES]

It's a shame we can't keep foz, but in the end the transition for the shoe is inevitable. May as well bite the bullet, and start looking to the future now. Has anyone maybe thought were tight around the cap due to maybe signing someone else other than tuilagi? Taupau, Walker, and a cpl others are on their way out. There are holes in the roster, someone has to fill them!

Now that we know that Foran is leaving. Josh has to start the next game he is fit at 5/8th. Move Foran to half and have DCE at hooker and have Croker on the bench as a utility to replace any of those players or reshuffle if necessary.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Lol, we aren't playing for practice for next year, we are still in this year's comp! (Don't pay attention to the doomsayers who have it as a guaranteed 2 horse race)

 

[HK_Eagle]

Now, if Jelly's manager had come out and agitated for the front row, it would have made more sense. And I would have said yeah, Jelly's been training hard and showing his hunger for the position and deserves a run there.

BUT, given Turbo generally plays around 35-55% of each season, I firmly DO believe we need actual fullback depth.

Garrick is okay, but we got trounced twice with 40 odd plus scored against us.

And this is why I roll my eyes when I hear his manager is pushing for schuster to take Forans spot.. bloke lasted 1 game his debut season… got a few more in last year before injury… managed a whole 1 game this season so far and is out again…
Until the guy can string 15 or so games in a row, his manager should keep his mouth shut on Josh taking anyones spot

 

[Scorpio]

The club should have Josh receiving the kind of specialist treatment Tom gets/got (albeit with Tom it's his hamstrings).

Also, Tom stayed off the beers last year after his Corso incident and had his best ever season. It's possibly a stupid suggestion to ask a 21-year old to do the same, but maybe Josh should also consider that option if he hasn't already.

Hopefully we'll have backup options at #6 as his injury history suggests we'll need them.

 

[XV-1]

Something is very wrong with Manly’s rehab.
Schu has 7 weeks off injured after a training incident.

Schu plays one match, gets named in the next round, only to be ruled out the day before the match after another training incident.

What are Donny and the rehab team doing?? We need explanations.

 

[Shoe1]

So we're letting go a proven experienced 5/8 on the expectation that a now injury prone Schuster is going to inherit the 5/8 spot. Adam Reynolds anybody.

Souths don’t have a schuster. Nor a Humphreys nor a latu fainu.

 

[Shoe1]

They only got ilias, sadly

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Garrick is okay, but we got trounced twice with 40 odd plus scored against us.

Twice? We've only conceded 40 once, and that was playing for 71 minutes with only 12 men!

 

[lsz]

A couple of things spring to mind for me

1. He is a kid playing second year of first grade. Again you can not under estimate the impact of the year when all lower grades were suspended due to Covid and what that did to player development
2. Re his weight. If des could sort out Suli do you really think he is not at a weight the club thinks he needs to be
3. As fans we know so very little about what goes on at the club - who really knows what they want from him

 

[alafua8]

If true really disappointed in this one. Was excited about watching him play again.

Get well soon ......

From what I've heard he will be back next week as this is mainly a precautionary case .

He played 21 games for us last year.

I agree his manager should keep quiet but I don't blame Schuster for that.
