Sometimes a game-breaker for the opposition, unfortunately.Schuster is a game breaker
Man I would love Alosh Schufarth.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).
Agree. He could become a BJ Leilua or he could become an international.I'm open minded on Schuster. Yes he looks out of shape but he also had 3 try assists in the Parramatta game alone. Luke Brooks has two for the season. We really don't have a dynamic game breaker on our books.

Apparently a pretty good halfback.Who is Tony Pellow we just signed from Q cup
Personally I think he's a backrower and nothing else. I think any attempts to have him trim down to (and maintain) 5/8th weight are doomed to fail. I think constant opposition pressure and too much structure bring Schuster undone.He still is net positive unlike our current options.
People focus on his weight / training issues.
The kid lost 12kgs in the off season and then put weight on.
This isn’t just on Josh the Manly club clearly haven’t been managing him during the injury period which the club has a long history of not managing injured players well. Over the years Manly whilst drive a tough man motto via Spud have struggled to keep injured players on the park especially high profile/key players.

I think you want the ball in Schuster's hands after the setup has already been done by someone else, including tactical kicking and getting the defence out of shape. Then you give him good early ball in attack, allow him to carry a bit of weight, and let him play off the cuff.
Problem is I don't think you'll ever pay 5/8th money for a backrower, and at just 21 years old, it remains to be seen whether Schuster would accept that "demotion". He might well consider himself a half, same problem we had with Hastings (who I still believe is a better lock than halfback).
I would, Schuster has that game breaking ability.I wouldn't choose Schuster over Matamua at 13 moving forward. I don't mean next week but over the next 3 years
remember Siebold stuffed up the Broncos... over complicates things.He still is net positive unlike our current options.

2024 spine
9. Api
7. Townsend
6. Brooks
1. Bula

Would prefer to see Brooks get signed as a 6 not 7
or
9. Api
7. Brooks
6. Schuster
1. Bula
not so keen on Schuster as a 6 though
It was 1975 7-7 draw - Wests had the 1 point deducted and it cost them a place in the semis. Because of the deducted point they ended up in a 3 way tie for 5th - playoffs were used rather than F/A to settle 5th place. Parra won three way playoff. So Wests missed out because of point deducted. Funny thing is had they used F/A Wests would have got in as they had much better F/A than Balmain and Parra.It was Mick Lubinskis and the magpies lost the 2 points I was there at belmore oval
Interesting article from 2009 about illegal players on the field.I see Souths had 14 players on the field for 14 seconds.
I remember quite a long time ago I think ironically a player Balmain bought from West called Lubinskas was on the field for about the same time, and the 2 points Tigers won were stripped from Balmains points.
WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN HERE, I WILL BET NOTHING.
should clarify when I say "rumour" it was only Corey Parker that mentioned Walker to cowboys.Where did you see this rumour @Jedi_Tiger ?
I just can't see Roosters releasing Sam Walker as he will be long-term halfback once Keary retires this season or next.
