Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tim Sheens]

Yeah totally understand your point re the defensive side, I can see him potentially developing and getting that motor defensively as he’s still only 20 and his shift to second row has been good so far and he makes around 25-30 tackles a game including 35 in the prelim last year. Adapted well there and contributed attacking wise, Madge could get him fit to be that kinda player.

Playing Schuster as a third half, could have enormous benefit to our spines space. Especially space to players like Hastings and Brooks….. and Korisau coming next year.

So i think he has it in him to be that player and let’s not forget he’s 20………

Missed out when he was off contract, mainly due to Manly lying to him saying they’d play him 6.

Schuster will leave if he’s not playing 6 next year based on principle alone, kid is a superstar.

Seems like there’s no Tedesco level scoops incoming for us yet hahaha

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I would be happy to have him at WT.

 

[TieDye]

Gee i hope we get him.

Could of course be for 2023, but I’m still of the opinion this guy would be the long term cog we’ve been missing.

That is why I’m being so vocal, really hope that they keep this one away from the media and get it done.

 

[TieDye]

This is right on the money I’d say, Seagulls crapping in their own backyard, who’d have thought?

Thanks Humphrey Numpty

 

[weststigerman]

I think it’s more the principal of being lied too as well, but I’d even bring him in as a 6.

Brooks has been good (so happy for him), but let’s remember 2 weeks ago nearly everyone wanted him gone. Hope he stays consistent.

Bringing in a player like Schuster 20, he can start the next rebuild as one of our halves and I’d be super happy for that.

Im a fan of his but I don’t think it’s worth losing Doueihi over. With Brooks on nearly $1M next year and Doueihi on 600k+ there is a large chunk of the salary cap tied up in the halves.

I think we have other positions that need strengthening first.

I’d love us to get a Campbell-Gillard or Fisher-Harris type front rower to partner Stefano.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Schuster is unhappy because he wants to play 6. That’s not going to happen here so why would he move?

Maybe Brooks is gone for Klemmer or someone else and that leaves the 6 for him?

Personally think Doueihi has the potential to be one of the best centres in the game

If that’s the case he’d be worth a shot but not while Brooks is still at the club on big money.

 

[boonboon]

I think if the club sees Hastings and Douehi as our long term halves like I do then Brooks playing well is the best time to swap him to Newcastle or Dogs for a front rower as he is worth more now then he was 2 weeks ago.

Id take a swap with Klemmer or Thompson plus we open up some cap space.

 

[sparci]

went to school with josh, hes good mates with mole and jason I highly doubt that he leaves Manly on a personal level, might be some weird ploy from his management

Money is not an issue

Ask him if he wants the 6 ?

Shuster is classy....

He's got Tigers written all over him.
Wish we got him in the Aloiai deal.

I'd take him now and tell Peachy there's the door...

Imagine him at 13.
Next level things.

Olsen F like. When he stops growing he'll make Lou Ferrigno look like Alfie Langer.

Yeah, positions wise, another second rower to partner Papali'i, which Shuster is playing already.

He won't be 6 with us but I'd love him as a backrower or lock.

Manly taking enough from us.
Our turn now.

Brooks to fullback?

Brooks to fullback?

Geez, he's a balanced runner - reminds me of Scott Gale.

And David Baysarri but quicker much quicker.

Brooks to fullback?

Who knows what the future holds my brother....

 

[BAGNF05]

Brooks to fullback?

Arguably not vocal enough if you believe that’s what he lacked at 7.

Also think he isn’t a fullback’s left one.

Yep, I thought that too, but have you ever heard Billy SHLater schpeak? I think the spine works when players know their moves. Brooks is a move player. Yes, he may not be a directions guy at 7 but he can see things at 1 and yell the F at guys instead of trying to be Einstein at 7.
