Josh Schuster #

[Rock Hopper Steve]

That’s next year
- I’m talking the tail end of this year…

I don't know mate, you think Schuster has it in him to get into 1sts this season, maybe next after a good summer.

Personally getting a bit sick of these feel good dovey moves by Benji, just get us to the finals is what we all want.

Josh always had great talent. As a junior, his ball playing ability was undeniable. When he made grade, he wanted to play in the halves but probably wasn’t quick enough and as a forward, he didn’t have the work rate. I see him as a ball playing 13 but he will need to be fit enough to make his tackles and hit ups (the diry stuff) which he seemed reluctant to do.

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

We have to be crystal clear about this.

Schuster, you are going to the second row or lock. NO WHERE ELSE.

No more wannabe 5/8's Our club needs a halfback or bust.

Don’t know mate,
hasn’t played in a long time…
**edit** played ressies last year???

But if we could make a fist of the season between here and the finals
- I’d rather be looking at a player of his calibre in the 19 with a few games under his belt
than some of the other blokes we’ve had in there this year.

These signings or attempted signing are for reserve grade but come with experience Folau - Josh Sch - Cotric - Dunster - all experienced , played first grade prior to, good back up and most likely cheap

But no forwards in that lot , we really need back ups in the backrow

Schuster has forward experience…

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.

Chalk and Cheese on ability looking at these two.
Schuster when at his best is easily a NRL player.
Can’t say the same about Miller

 

[Oldman]

What about some of our big dollar signings in the not too distant past
Justin Olam
John Bateman

This is nothing like them thank goodness as we are spending minimal dollars to see if Schuster can reach his ability to be a NRL regular.
I’m not losing any sleep over this decision.
