Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Kaito]

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

‘It’s not about money … I felt a weight off my shoulders’: Schuster opens up on Manly departure

Josh Schuster has spoken for the first time about his Manly exit, the demons he has overcome and his plans to become the pivotal figure at his next club.

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.

Absolutely Yoss. Blockbuster. With the right mindset
and with a well drafted contract, you never know lol

I think Schuster is a good chance of coming here, no inside info but for the right price he woukd add that x factor

 

[Demps]

Tallis Duncan > Shuster

 

[Tito Santana]

There’s word going around Fonua Blake is backflipping on Cronulla to join another team. Man, I’d pay Stefano to go for AFB to come to 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.

Schuster is Feleti Mateo MkII - talented but fat.

 

[Hbom]

Says in the article he only wants to play in the halves.

 

[WestsTigers4VR]

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..

Keep going..Paseka,Aloi,woods,Lodge....the Northern beaches Tigers!

And the Illawarra Tigers contingent is not far behind!

AFB is absolutely mad not right in the head no way

 

[Telltails]

Schuster also thinks he is 5/8th.

That was a joke, based on Sharks recent form...

It would have to be the Roosters, I would love him to come here, but can’t see it happening

 

[Kaito]

There's that. And the fact that benji or richo would
have to do a deal with Fulton. 1 had beef with him,
the other sacked him haha. Probably won't happen

 

[Garrry]

AFB has a signed contract with the sharks, cooling off period finished roughly before kick off round 1, Abdo should do his job and have a meeting with all CEO's, if it keeps happening a 1 million dollar fine to both the club and player manager that will very quickly stop it from happening

 

[Vicious]

Schuster also thinks he is 5/8th.

That would give us seven 5/8’s

 

[innsaneink]

His manager has come out and said that’s not true and Fox News has it wrong.

Thought it was Saints - illawarra
