Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Benji is a fan of his, called his game against him the
'greatest debut' he's ever seen a few years ago. I
don't think it's out if the question, if he got his mind
right he would be an asset to any team. Just rifling.
Benji probably didn't want to do the deal with Fulton
because it was for 800k a year for 3/4 years and
knew he had some issues with himself & Manly.
He would go good in a young dynamic team like
ours for 500k. Provided we move some cattle along

The guy is an enormous talent. If he gets his attitude right and puts the hard work in, some club will really benefit. Suli has taken four clubs and a few years to sort himself out.

I wouldn't be against the idea of Schuster if the contract was heavily layered with incentives and SFA if he dudded us.

It’s no secret we’ve been interested in him for a long time. I think we are probably involved.

I am a bit worried about the litany of excuses in the news article, he seems a bit sensitive.

He could have that Brooksy thing happening where he simply can’t live up to the hype. Then it a question of getting the monkey off his back.

He’s got footy gifts, a lot to give the game if he can get his stuff together.
 
I actually wouldn’t mind Schuster on an edge. If he can genuinely straighten himself out and work on his discipline in and out of footy my god he would be a dangerous player. There is no doubt on his potential so if we sign him on minimum with a few target clauses I wouldn’t be to opposed to it tbh.

$500K is still overs for a bloke who has spent so much time away from elite football and professional training - a base contract of $250-300K (with strict incentives to maybe earn up to $450K) would be more reasonable.

Manly did give him a handsome pay-out - and for a bloke who was never known for his fitness surely he possesses enough self-awareness to realise he cannot expect a half-million dollar deal after 12 months of touch footy..
