Josh Schuster #

[TigerBurnsy]

The club got rid of Jordan Miller due to his lack of fitness/weight issues yet sign Schuster🤔

Well he'd be on bugger all money, less than Miller would have been on.

Miller was on a lot and his laziness extended to being late to training, lazy and a fat ass

what position do you reckon josh will play do you reckon five eight or second row or on the bench to start with

Hope im wrong for Schusters sake ,think he's just walked into his last chance saloon . He was on a softly as you go contract at Souths this year and didn't really move the dial over there,will having a few close mates about change much for him here?

It will be his last chance and it’s up to him, to be fair he looks to be fitter than be ever has.

As to his mental state he lost a close mate, he was thrusted into elite prospect status, given enormous amounts of cash, on the media nearly every week being hammered. Most kids will break or have massive impacts to them.

Taking a step right away and removing all the pressure I think is awesome for him. If he doesn’t make an impact at least he can close the chapter himself, if he does then we get a gamebreaker on our hands.

possible no 13 if all the elements co-incide...but am becoming increasingly concerned by Benji tbh
Chasing guys like Falua at 37..Schuster who better coaches havent fixed...hmm
Am no fan of letting LL go early btw...hes our 2nd best winger,albeit with deficiencies....and Skelton ou 3rd best

Yet we persevere with Makasini.who may be an immortal one day.but rite now is a liability

The kid lost 33kg in 12 months - to me, that shows he's dedicated and was prepared to take responsibility in delivering himself to a club in reasonable shape as a first step. It shows initiative and maturity. A positive sign more than negative.

Good on him for having a proper crack.

People comparing him to Miller . I mean please ! Spare me ! The kid had barely made it out of eg ball got a go in firsts and started swinging his old fella around in KOE cup when he got back there . That alone would be enough o get rid of him . Then chuck in his refusal to train and do the hard stuff. It’s not even the same thing.
For most blokes on this earth , nearly all of us have to drive a car off a cliff for us to realise how much we liked the bloody thing . My super power is being able to get what I need from my screw ups. As I’ve had more than enough of them .
I’m not counting any chickens here , but there’s every chance much like the May boys , former problem child’s like Walker at souths , that he may have had it all click for him . And hopefully we will be there on the ground floor building him back up .

He's got a good footy brain.

Sounds like Miller had no brain. 🤣

Some players just need some belief behind em.

Benji strikes me as a guy that really backs his players. Could be a serious duo if all things fall into place.

Hopefully he's not another Galvin like attitude who is fully against playing somewhere other than the halves.

Doesn’t wanna play back row, has slimmed down to play in the halves (but we have plenty)

What about centre boss…
Mobile enough at 120kgs, have to be better at sub 100 you’d reckon.

Size, pace and hands out there…

Bennett saw something in Schuster but wasn't able to extract it. I’m sure Benji would have spoken to WB before going ahead, maybe B said you’re younger with an island heritage, better fit ?
Plus the financials are attractive but I would say Benji has told him what’s expected and if he finally gets to work could be a dark horse on the bench later in the year.
Next year he’s got a while pre season to show if hes got a starting spot in him.
5/8 still up for grabs coz I think Averillo is a better centre and God knows we need some of those.
