The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

[StuBoot]

This Mediocre 2.5 year spell of not being able to compete at a high level against the top teams is not Manly .

Very disappointing indeed !!!

Things need to change or else the inevitable changes are needed to be made

Take it away Winston

Have we been at full strength ( top 17 ) in any of those matches?

Have we been at full strength ( top 17 ) in any of those matches?

Adversity strikes all teams feathered friend
But not all teams succumb to it

The moral of the excuses story is
Resilient teams find a way to win

We keep finding a way to lose against top 8 teams

We haven't been at full- strength since 2013.

Put him on the open market please

 

[Budgie]

Two games in a row. Up by a huge amount, Schuster comes on and Kaboom, the floodgates open.

 

[Yaz Eagle]

He seems to be the problem last 2 games as when he comes on he has replaced a forward who was doing very well and he comes on, lazy on defence, and gives the opposition a leg up.

Des has to decide to either start him, or send him to Blacktown. He may be penalised by Des for his management spitting the dummie and rather than play in the forwards he wants to play half. He is still young and should do what is best for the team.

Foran should have been resigned and Shu told he will play forwards, now his season may be a write off. To be honest, the only clubs that may sign him now as a 5/8 are the Warriors.

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

He will never be the 5/8 he dreams to be hes is not a patch on Foz. Move him on. Can't stand him.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Okay I’m a huge Shuster fan but the penalty he conceded of the kick off was laziness when he had been on for 5 minutes. Almost unforgivable. He needs a good kick up the arse! Don’t do it again boof head!

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

His attitude and that of his manager is piss poor. Maybe talented but also an UNFIT liability. He can play back row in NRL IF he loses 7 kilos at least.

 

[Dan]

Lazy! He is lazy shower it tonight that was just horrible, he came on played like he was above it all and screwed us over. Being offside at the kickoff is under 10's stuff. Needs to show a lot more if he wants to be our half

 

[DieHardManlyFan]

Showing he needs conditioning. Obviously struggling atm but the club (late bob fulton included) recognises real talent in this kid. I’m willing to put my faith in him.

 

[sheridanstand78]

If he truly wants to do himself justice he must work on his fitness. He is short of a gallop and in my opinion needs a big off season as he is too pedestrian at times and mucking up a kick off is criminal!

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

After watching foran tonight shoe will never be like him.

It's obvious that Schuster is having issues adapting to playing short minutes from the bench. I'm sure his form would be better if he was starting matches. I don't think he has lost a game for us yet, and certainly, last year he helped us win many games. Thus, I think some supporters could be more gracious by not laying the boot into him after every match.

The same thing has happened with other players. Harper was a scapegoat (with good reason) earlier in the season. However, he has been improving every match & I doubt a fit Parker could displace him in the side at present. Similarly, Saab has many detractors and even though he was targeted by the Storm tonight, he put in a very solid performance.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Put him in reggies for 80 minutes with very specific goals to achieve. We aren’t doing him any favours leaving him on the bench and only giving him limited game time. What’s the point?

 

[Ryan]

He was getting all the hype, he's young, he's inexperienced, he's returning from various injuries - let's give him a break and let him develop without putting too much pressure on him, or clamping the way he plays.

Patience guys.

 

[Dion Johnson]

How Davey starts over Schuster is amazing, Schuster is the future and should be starting.

 

[Volley]

I’m not going to write him off, but I just don’t have a spot for him on the bench tbh. This 10 min stuff at the death just isn’t cutting it. Get a defensive specialist in there if you want to give players a spell. Better off getting him to play reserves to try and get some match fitness and time in the halves if that’s your plan for next year.

 

[Woodsie]

Patience.. okay, how about we wait until he has made 29 nrl appearances and 1 international before we are allowed to have an opinion ...

I've seen enough ...
