His upper limit has certainly passed.

That is a tongue in cheek remark

South Sydney begin 2025 clean-out with Shaq Mitchell and Josh Schuster to move on​

With a wooden spoon firmly on the horizon the South Sydney Rabbitohs have begun their roster rebuild starting with Shaq Mitchell and Josh Schuster.

Michael Carayannis and Brent Read

Shaq Mitchell has been told he won’t be at South Sydney next year joining Josh Schuster and Fletcher Myers who will need to look for different clubs.
It is understood the Rabbitohs have decided to move on from Mitchell who has played 20 first grade games since making his debut at the club in 2022. The 29-year-old – older brother of superstar fullback Latrell – has not played first grade this year with injuries setting him back.

He missed the start of the season after suffering a hamstring injury. Mitchell overcame a raft of personal setbacks to find his passion for the game and get his body in shape to play first grade.


Myers has played three games this year but he too has been told there won’t be a deal for him at South Sydney next year. Meanwhile, Schuster remains on leave from the club but he won’t be retained after the club signed him on a 12-month contract.

The Rabbitohs are hopeful Jayden Sullivan will stay for another season with the Tigers close to agreeing to a deal for him to remain at the Rabbitohs.

South Sydney are also in talks about retaining Jye Gray on a two-year contract. Gray’s current deal expires at the end of 2026 but the Rabbitohs are keen to ensure he does not hit the market on November 1.

They have also added Moala Graham-Taufa (Warriors), Bronson Garlick (Storm) and Jonah Glover (Dragons).






Don't see any other club signing him, maybe a chance with the Titans if Des wasn't parting ways with them.
Wasted talent who seems to have never recovered from death of his mate at training.

Sadly just train & trial contracts for the Schu I'd say, it's a long way back for him now.

Sorry I will toe the line from this point in time.

Hopefully he is focusing on his future earning power once the Manly payments dry up. If he isn’t already seeing someone to work through his psychological issues he should be. Life is just as tough outside of footy unfortunately

Someone always has to be a heel in this type of situation. I have canvassed opinions - you seem to be the person, tread carefully.

i thought he was pretty good as a second rower.

Stop clogging up the threads or you will get the boot.

Me too, that would of been 2021 I think. the following season, all down hill unfortunately.

 

[mickqld]

Thought he was going to be the next superstar , such a shame , another huge talent never to be seen. Hope he finds a better path in life.

 

[Ben]

I don’t want to seem rude by asking this question but are we relieved of his contract as he is stepping away from the game?

I fu*king well hope so. Enough paying out for nothing.

I just hope it’s not another Nate Myles situation

Knowing our management it probably is.

I believe next season will be the last of our 200k payments.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Not sure which club would try Schu on next? Manly and Souths have both flip-flopped over whether he's worth it.

 

[bringbackbeaver]

Was his extension a Des or Siebold one? Such a dud call.

 

[LeonardCohen]

I thought he’d put his best foot forward but alas, no Cinderella story here; the Shoe didn’t fit.
