Sukkar

Now that’s a challenge I could get in to.
Big Tony Sukkar!!!!
Hopefully not a sukkar bet.

If there's ever going to be an environment for Schuster to thrive its with us, all the Islander/kiwi boys and Benji obviously has massive rapport with them. We've seen it time after time now they love him they want to play for him.
Stick him in cup leave him there even if he's pulling up tree's get him on the Royce programme and then see what comes of it next preseason.

Sukkar

$4.75 anytime try scorer.
It’s a Sukkar bet but I’m on him Tom.

Were the only club that wld contemplate this.
Already skinny on outside backs..and dont need to do any favors
Weve already paid 6/12ths of this years salary..nothing material to be gained by releasing him early

8/12ths. NRL contracts run Nov 1st to Oct 31st.

Hope he kills it, either with us or someone else i dont care. Be a great turnaround.

Hopefully Benji has said we will put you in the back row and illustrate run and tackle hard. The ball playing will just come from that.

Whatever happened to him , it did a number on him . I hope he uses this opportunity . We are getting a bit of a rep for being a club for wayward footy players to turn thier life around . I really genuinely wish him all the best .

It was his mate that died of heart exhaustion at Manly that messed him up

Yep. Keith Titmuss. Schuster was very close with him, also the Fainus (mostly Manase though).

Schuster has all the talent in the world but for whatever reason seems to struggle.

If Bennett couldn’t get him going I don’t think anyone will but I guess we’ll see.

He's dropped 33kgs so hopefully that's a good sign he is committed.

Not a big fan of the Tigers at all…
Have met him a few times, cracking fella

He's a pretty arrogant tool on the drink

Tupou talk just rumours?

Moses having an absolute stinker was an enjoyable watch

Yep , and that’s fair enough . They all would have seen him die . I knew it was something massive . Like what happened to all the boys around Fotueka . God rest his soul . I was gonna say tragedies both of them … but Titmuss should never ever have happened . How someone didn’t go to gaol for that …. Anyways

Typo..sorry. my.fat fingers
Makes the case to offload him even weeker

Schuster is an amazing signing. Maybe the biggest risk v reward signing ever. Zero risk v rep potential.
Undeniable talent, just needs to be mentally healthy and must have the right coach.
Benji is a leader, a communicator and role model - perfect for Schuster.

Quality guy who had some mental struggles, like many of us have had, has worked on himself and deserves a chance.
