The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

[double hoops]

The initial contract was fine. It was the upgraded contract that was a joke.

Whoever the player manager was deserves double commission.

I wonder if player managers are too concerned about their own self interest when it comes to $$$. Especially for younger players. When the number is big, it can and has killed many a career.

The concept of owing a fiduciary duty to a client, especially in the case of a younger player, their best interests, it should never be viewed through a purely financial lense.

The bigger that number, the greater the pressure to perform, the less patience and time a club can give to find form, the less attractive that player is for other clubs to take that player on.

Shoes contract was a big number. But where is that great young talent right now.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

If he is being paid $200 in 2026 bring him back on a train and trial basis. Not much to loose really.

 

[JenEagle]

He will never play NRL again. He’s been out of the game two years now.

 

[Eagle 1]

If he is being paid $200 in 2026 bring him back on a train and trial basis. Not much to loose really.

I think having the Shoe around our juniors that are coming through would be a perfect fit for him. Put him into a coaching role, attack wise, the kids would be awestruck.

[The '47ers]

How about we just close the book and let it be.

He can teach our juniors about hard training, discipline, mental fortitude, teamwork, off-the-ball effort, and doing all the 1%ers - all the things he is known for.

(Sorry, couldn't help myself. I genuinely wish him well)
