The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

[swoop]

I'm not convinced that Schuster is even 80% fit.

The more matches he plays the more match fit he becomes you would think.

 

[JenEagle]

I think he and Reubs had been watching too many Burton/Fox plays.
Shoe: I reckon I could put it on a dinner plate for you Reubs.
Reubs: Yes, definately.
Shoe: You have to say Bruh at the end of your sentence if this is going to work out.

Hahahaha

looked gassed after his run that put garrick away, needs to shed 5 more KG

Probably so, that I suspect you mean match fit. Second game back. I wasn't surprised after all the positives of last week that he may not be as effective this week, especially without DCE and Turbo there. He'll get better.

Should have started Arthur in the second half and bring Schuster back for Johns with 25 minutes to go .Fingers crossed he can loose another 5kgs. in the next 4 weeks .

He didn't need to lose 5kg the week before when he set up 3 and scored one himself.

He'll need to if we are to win without Tom ,Daly and Jake .After watching the game ,I can read he was trying to do a lot more in the second half but was gassed .First half was brilliant .

Remember beginning of the year a lot of players (not just from Manly) were cramping during games. As their match fitness builds we are seeing that less and less. For Schu it is still really the beginning of the season. Another month of games and I reckon he'll be where he needs to be.

 

[manlyfan76]

I'd expect us to win 1 out of 20 without those three.

They are very important to Manly. That's why they play rep football.

I prefer him to be a bit on the bulker side tbh, makes him harder to stop on his show and go plays close to the oppositions try line.

Schuster is a bit like Cliffy, great vision, ideas, skill and what he really needs is to get his fitness levels up and also to play behind a pack that dominates and getting crisp service from dummy half.

 

[delz]

Still doesn't look fit to me. Has an odd shape and looks like he still needs some time in the weight room. Tried hard but unfortunately ran out of ideas in the second half although the players around him didn't help by not running onto the ball or having some structure in readiness for some backline plays.

He also needs players who read him well. That's what Burbo did in the juniors. That's what Menzies did with Cliffy. they both rely on good supports who are ready for what's otherwise unexpected. The team need time to adjust. Its not just about Schuster

It’s bloody sad that Burbo keeps getting injured because he has been coming along nicely. Spot on 🐻 they could be lethal together if given time.

Agree, but considering the money shu is on it would be great if he worked on his defence.He can be bloody lazy at times The more players we have in our side trying to lead the way the more support each player will have. Natural progression. Makes sense yea? We have 3 top players out at the moment, now we need at least 3 others to put their hand up. That’s how the good teams do it. That’s why we are not consistent. I feel we are back in the win one and lose two rut again.

Yeah, I felt this season was going to be his year, bulked up a bit in the off season and primed for a big break out year. Now with 2 hamstring injuries both not far apart, it's going to be a decent wait till we see Burbo again. Such is the footy gods.

First person named for Blacktown this week should be the Shooey ... with 1st's on a bye ... he needs all the game fitness he can get ... I'm sure he would put his hand up for it ...
