Manly star sheds kilos as club sheds 2022 nightmare: ‘There’s a big difference’

Following a disappointing season, Josh Schuster has a new position and the Sea Eagles have become more of a ‘family club’.

Josh Schuster right at home in the Manly 'six' jersey

Josh Schuster is as confident as he can be heading into a fresh new season for not only himself, but for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in 2023.

Not sure he's dropped, he's injured. Calf injury early now a quad injury.

Sure he's probably a bit lazy and maybe not rehabbing like a seasoned pro.
He's also young and has talent oozing of which we lack in spades.

Also hasn't played since "been called out"

Rather give him 800k then AD as there is so much more upside


ps. last year everyone was orgasming to get him here. Had a injury affected year and a few bad games and all of a sudden considered cancer.

My one cent anyway

Newcastle legend Andrew Johns recalled a conversation with Schuster that indicated he had been told his discipline needed to improve.

Joey's sadness for superstars that were denied the 'ultimate prize': Immortal Behaviour - Ep06
"I think we can all see Josh's talent. I spoke to him last week … and I hit him between the eyes," Johns said on Wide World of Sports' Immortal Behaviour.

"I said, 'mate, everyone can see you're one of the most naturally talented players. But there's a long list of players with natural talent who didn't make it because they haven't reached their potential because they haven't worked enough'.

"And he actually said, 'I get told that all the time. It doesn't hurt'."
Johns said Schuster had disclosed a battle with his weight that he hadn't yet got on top of.
Still overweight, Not putting in the Work - And doesn't affect him when he's being told....

He has no future in the Halves - And we have back rowers coming through up to Wahzoo....
Kid can play - But we're sorted for Back Rowers for the forseable future, He's got a poor attitude, Too expensive and won't look after himself.

And there's plenty of people that don't want him, Have never wanted him....
At plenty of clubs.


Everyone falls in love with Potential.

I remember all the same rubbish on here about Latrell being fat and lazy.
Schuster's a Latrell level talent.
He can do things our blokes have wet dreams about being able to do.

For 20 minutes a game....
Might hide it in a team full of Souths or Roosters players - With Coaches like Bennett, Robbo or Bellamy...

We're lacking all those things....

Think we need to get a motel room for Shuster and Seyfarth. You’d hope the love child would be a generational talent with a great work ethic (knowing our luck we’d end up with a no talent lazy hack).

 

[finnzo]

He’s 21 every 1 ses and does stupid things when they are 21

2 years ago he played a season in backrow
And was a standout player for manly.
Do you know how tough you have to be to play backrow in the nrl he did it at 19 in a top 4 team

The skill is there the commitment is there he missed the World Cup to focus on been the best he can be for manly

He’s currently injured that’s why he isn’t playing to his potential

If you get a chance to sign a generational talent you take it then make sure you do everything to get the best out of him

Playing under his idol (benji Marshall) will give him all the motivation he needs to succeed

 

[tony soprano]

Schuster would be a great signing.
The kid's a rare talent.

Agree, the bullying has gone from Brooks to Schuster pretty disgraceful comments tonight on 360.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Talented, yeah, extremely, but I just don't see Schuster being as committed as say Bryce Cartwright in turning it around, and he took years to do so.

I would rather pay Doueihi $600k to watch players run past him to score tries, than paying Schuster an additional $200k to do the same.

 

[The_Patriot]

Schuster yes but only if Brooks goes.

Both are 5/8s

Sign a halfback

Not really. He’s also fat.

Fair enough to your opinion, we have very limited potential at our club.

Feel we could fill the bucket at bit

 

[Dennisspicer1]

We need to be looking at singings that can take the club to the next level. Does schuster do that? Happy to be proven wrong but i dont think so. If he went to the Storm he Bellamy would sort him out

Think about the game he played a couple I of weeks back against us, he was useless in both attack and defence, I would not take the risk, he might be good for 4 poss 5 good games a season, but very useless in the other 20, we want players who put there heart & soul into it, and after the last few weeks I think we have a fair few of them at the moment, lets not spoil it.

 

[Wests🐅]

What has the SMH written now? Does anyone have the article Mr Chammas has written? About hiding the fact that we have signed Fulton?

 

[Yossarian]

Not at $800k per year though

No, but as I said earlier, we may not be paying 800k.

Well, we are told he wants to play under Benji,
but not sure we are the right place for the heavy discipline required to max this guys potential .
And he’s got some, believe me.

It's in the Scott Fulton thred mate.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Either way

We seem to be finally doing the right things to set the club up for some form of success in the future.

The clowns on NRL 180 said that Scott Fulton was hired without Sheen’s and Benji’s knowledge.
I find that hard to believe, but then we have Pascoe and Lee running the circus.

Yeah - We get it....

Very different to playing back row at Manly with Turbo winning the Dally M and scoring tries for fun,
Than it is doing it for the Tigers.
You're also overlooking the part when he's stated he doesn't want to play back row - And was looking to get out of Manly if they re-signed Foran.

We've got Bateman for 4 years, Paps for 3... Which edge do you play him....
Ideally, I think he'd be great in the Middle at Lock...
But if he doesn't wanna play edge, The thought of playing middle will have him in convulsions

And Manly aren't gonna pay half his Salary for him to come to us....

Wow, that is a huge call, for any organisation, coz it takes the coaches cred away big time.
How can that happen ?

Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission....
McDonnell isn't revered like he used to be and the game moved past him many moons ago.

I think the position should have been filled by someone from the area, Or with a connection to the club...
But anyone is at least on par with Daddy Mac.

Not sure if it’s just the crap that Buzz and his cohorts stirring because it’s the WT’s

 

[tony soprano]

Hope he doesn't try bring the whole Fulton clan here. His sister bagging players on Facebook is just messy.
