The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

[Mal Cochrane]

Bro Milford was pretty good in 2015 and the fridge who dropped out of NZ schoolboy rugby because it was too much pressure was always gonna be flaky. You're meant to be serrated.

You're sharper than that friend.

Wouldn't too much pressure and flaky potentially also describe the shoe?

You have to also consider that the Great Bennet is also wearing the other Boot
Off course Nothing is certain
But everything is possible under Wayne

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Wonderful defensive effort by Yom Dung on his opposite number, leading into that Titans’ try.

 

[ManlyTragic]

Why is it whenever a player leaves he is compared to Gutherson?

I thought that South’s only signed him for 1 year … if so that doesn’t sound like a massive vote of confidence in the kid!

Just sayin’

 

[Jay Eagle]

I would have that dud over, Ben T, Condon, Waddell, Lawton, Sipley, Lodge, Brown, Jake, Woods, Matterson and Alioia every day of the week, he has more upside than a lot of footballers playing each week.

The reason they were saying target Samuela he was defending at centre where players with speed can burn

Couldn't agree more with you Ben T,Waddell,Condon,Matterson,Sipley, even Lawton

But when you mention Lodge and Brown you started losing credibility
As both a far better players

Then you say Jake.. OMG..get off the drink or if you don't drink take it up..
Lmfao

He's an average backrower but certainly no Jake T

 

[nightster]

We could of kept Samuela, but he wanted Latu to be part of the deal. Tiger's willing to pay 1m for both of them, but we weren't. Let's face it, after the Manase debacle the Fainu's have been a poison chalice, just wasn't meant to be. Seriously, we are better of without them.

What concerns me is the super tight Fainu Olakau'atu connection

Outside of footy that's his personal life and choice, shouldn't really be a concern.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

Bennett is the best man manager in league, with an amazing record for getting the best out of "troubled" or "enigmatic" players. If anyone can unlock Schu it is him. For the record I consider Des about the second best, with a real ability to construct deep relationships. So if Schu and Shouffsh don't work out I don't write off Gold Coast and Schu.

True, it shouldn't but I think it can potentially affect his connection to Manly.

Would it be a bad thing?

Basketball skills can only take you so far as a rugba league forward.

It would explain his reluctance to run hard onto the ball… doesn’t wanna draw an offensive charging foul, so pulls up for the jump shot instead.

What do you mean by this? Oka signed an extension after both the brothers were released early & signed for Tigers.

 

[bob dylan]

Wonderful defensive effort by Yom Dung on his opposite number, leading into that Titans’ try.

Their wingers are both disgraceful defenders. Good finishers but crap in defence.

I found the shoe on a recent trip to Japan.

 

[manlyfan76]

He was on sale which is what caught Wayne's eye.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

If Schu could get his head around becoming a front rower he could be a real weapon.
Hard to see that happening though, and unfortunately his limited mobility probably rules him out of a strong NRL career in any other position.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

My understanding is he was visiting Japan to explore the sumo wrestling option.

He is already halfway there on the body type front. Plus as an NRL player, he has obviously had some experience with wrestling.

We saw glimpses of this in 2021, since then,... Nothing. Bennett picked him up at bargain price so not a lot to loose.

The Schu skill level and x factor is something not all players are blessed with
His Limited mobility is something he can overcome with a lot of hard work
Bennet has been known to lift players standards on and off the field

He would be the ultimate weapon with some of Dave Goggins mental application.
