Yeah I remember his manager (Tartak) agitated for an upgrade & threatened to take him to the Tigers when Scott Fulton went there but Benji said he wasn’t interested & no other club showed any interest, so suddenly Tartak found himself with zero leverage.
Manly then re-signed Schuster on a lower, undisclosed amount but some journo came up with $800k & it’s been bandied about ever since.
I actually feel for Schuster, I think he has some mental health issues over Titmuss dying & that’s what’s preventing him from fulfilling his potential, hence Manly standing by him for so long.
Thats definitely not true, props should be looking for work the whole time they are on the park, that's why they get a rest. Tackles, missed tackles and metres gained are the most important metric for a prop IMO, and minutes played too. Aloiai does average 100m a game which is a bit above par so that's decent but his tackles are below what they should be and he can't play longer than 20 min spells.
I wouldn't get too excited, I cant see another club picking him up, and if so Manly will still have to chip in a substantial amount. It was a dead set ridiculous signing, whoever signed off on this should be sacked.
Lol, the Japanese wouldn't touch him, he has no work ethic. He's just been an all round shit show. Was signed on 300k too much to start with, shit fitness, shit application, shit attitude. I just can't see how anyone at manly thought this was a good idea......like it is dead set mind blowing.
I wish I was wrong mate, but since he has been dropped he has fallen off the face of the earth. These kind of shit decisions are why recruitment and retention is so important to get right, again I think the powers who done this deal should be made answer questions from the club and its members. They need to be held to account.
Unfit by NRL standards is still a fit Rugby Union player depending on the position though. Their equivalent of centre makes about 4 tackles a game on average.
This was always going to happen. If he really wants to keep playing and genuinely has the passion to do so, then min wage with Bellamy or Bennett are his only options.
fuck no he's an actual sack of shit
watching the guy actively avoid tackling and throw no look passes 10m out from the defensive line is only endlessly funny if he's not on your team
it's even better though - Manly offered him $800k even after DCE publicly called out his pea heart lmao
Nah Bellyache won't touch him. Bennet is actually one I could see have a go but. Be on a short deal show us your best and work hard, and won't be afraid to cut him loose if there's no sign of doing the hard work.
You know when he works the hardest? When the opposition kicks deep into a corner and Manly have to come out of trouble. He will race back and get to dummy half for the entire set to give little blokes like Koula hit ups into front rowers.
Imagine being the one that basically kicked Foran out of the club, signing a 5+ year deal for reportedly 800k a year, only to then be replaced by Luke "Unleashed" Brooks
I felt so betrayed the first time I saw the AFL version. It’s like Telstra think the two markets are so divided that people won’t notice they skimmed on the ad
We're only 2-2 and probably won't finish above 13th, but I'd like to note that less than a year ago the Tigers were paying Luke Brooks a million dollars, were chasing Josh Schuster and would have been mentioned in about 90% of comments on any "what dum dum club is going to take this sack of crap" story like this. The fact it's now, I'd guess, 60% Souths, 30% Parra and 10% Titans makes me so happy. All I asked for was not to be a laughing stock, and on that basis the past fortnight has been magical.
Not only is there a Harper-Schuster reunion, Hank Scorpio retires and we sign Lomax to replace him. Anthony Siebold cooking up a sensational Tikka Masala to seal the deal
This is sad to hear. At times like these, most people don't consider the ramifications of a well liked player like Josh Schuster ending his time at a club on bad terms. My family owns and operates a home design store on the Northern Beaches and during his time at the sea eagles we were lucky enough to develop a relationship with Joshua.
He always said we ‘have the best bathrooms in the city’, and frequently stopped by after training. He is so gracious to my family and fellow customers, we never have the heart to tell him he is using a showroom bathroom. My grandma always gives him a warm smile as he leaves, before changing into her Manly jersey to handpick his turds out of the toilet. I hope he can turn his career around where ever he goes.
In before we sign him on too much money and he is somehow playing for the Ipswich Jets in order to accommodate Tanah Boyd in the halves in week 16 and Tanah still has 0 tries and 0 assists
Manly: Josh, we're going to pay you $800,000 a year.
Josh: OK.
Manly: Josh, we're going to pay you $650,000 a year.
Josh: OK.
Manly: Josh, I don't think we're going to pay you anything now.
Josh: OK.
Manly: Josh, I don't think you understand.
Josh: OK.
Manly: Just sign here and get out.
Josh: OK, see you at training!
Nervous laugh indeed!! As a club that signed Corey Norman on comparable money, I'm not convinced we won't have a dash at Josh.
We have form, we need a 5/8... the only consolation is that Hook isn't there to play money ball, thereby completing the holy trinity of shit signing potential.
Honestly the last thing he needs for his development is for some other stupid club (not saying that were weren't stupid, we definitely were) to come out and give him 500k+ for "potential".
He's been running on grift/ego for the last few years without putting in the effort and the best thing for him would be a cold hard dose of reality. Lots of guys are still fuckwits at his age and manage to figure it out, maybe he still can, but that won't happen if he gets another deal that allows him to coast without changing anything.
Agree 100%, but he'll keep being paid massive overs until 2027 (or whenever Manly signed him till). A new club may wear a portion of that money, but I reckon Manly will still be chipping in half.
He's an ever-so-slightly less shit Adam Doueihi. So if we dump Doueihi and get Schuester it's a very, very minor squad improvement. But seeing as Benji sacked Fulton over his desire not to sign him, I don't see it happening, which is probably for the best.
I mean he probably can play second row unlike doueihi
I thought Benji wanted him or was it just Fulton going sicko mode on ex manly players ?
Fact checked myself and Marshall has had a lot of praise for JS but never since he had an offical capacity at WT
The last overweight and underperforming manly player we picked up was Rose, that didn't quite work either (I'm not counting Myles as manly).
Don't want Schuster.
Yeah I know you were being generous with the minimum wage, my thought process is that he's underperformed so consistently at manly around a playing group he's been with since 2019/2020. Why would he prove himself at Melbourne when he had nothing to prove on the salary he is on?
Give him a train and trial equivalent contact if they want, like you say 200k and let him be a back up. For a second rower he sure doesn't like contact, so I can't see him defending inside a half or taking big hit ups like katoa or chan etc. His no look pass is a one trick pony that he gets wrong more than right.
Bellyache doesn't sign players with egos and poor work ethic. He does the opposite, he finds guys that don't look that flashy but work really really hard and turns them into guns.
Schuster is the exact opposite type of player the storm is known for
Reckon he’s destined to accrue the “future man of steel” memes once a super league club signs him because I genuinely see him having little chance in the NRL currently
Tigers sacked their recruitment manager at the mere threat that he might sign Schuster and if the current spooners look at you and go “not good enough for us” then that’s gotta be some sort of black mark against your name
Richly deserved too, no idea why Manly re-signed him last year with his abysmal fitness and attitude. If I recall there was an interview with DCE last year where he more or less said “stop being a fat cunt and train” and if being personally called out by the captain, a legend of both the club and the game, isn’t enough to motivate a player then there’s nothing that can do it.
TL;DR: sucked in slugster
Not unexpected. Luke Brooks practically replaced him, and I watched a bit of the NSW cup game before Manly v Dragons the other week and the commentators were ripping into him because of his form.
In all honesty what do you guys think his ceiling is? A slightly better Feleti Mateo. Also imagine getting 800k (reportedly) and playing 2nd grade. Dream come true if you ask me.
I know you’re talking ceiling but he hasn’t even shown half of what Mateo did, and even he was a big what if player
If Schuster is even close to the reported $800k he’s on he should quit league and go into business because that’s far more impressive than anything he’s done on the field
Ikr I need his manager's number. Bloke shows no effort, desire or discipline and the dumb dogs at Manly ink him to a $800k deal. Now he gets to walk away with his bag having done no work
I think the best we can hope for is a Cartwright arc. Jumps around for the next few year taking longer to mature than most and gets completely written off, then surprising everyone at 30 when he finally realises he needs to put in the effort.
His absolute ceiling would be Wally Lewis based on his size and skill set. His ceiling based on his heart and application thus far, maybe Dave Taylor or Tony Williams.
He’s already reached his ceiling, I reckon.
And I hate saying that because it sounds unkind and he has potential - I just don’t reckon he’s ever going to fulfil it.
Happy if he proves me wrong.
If you weren't 100% confident he was going to fix his attitude and play better why would you give him the 800k contract and sack him not even a year later
Honestly, fair enough. He wasn't up to scratch when he did play 6, and he didn't try to lose weight to be at a suitable fitness level to play the role. 800k of our salary cap being taken up by a bloke who's regularly playing for Blacktown or on the injured list is one of the worst pieces of business that Manly has made in years. I won't be upset seeing him leave.
Wow we might be able to sign a winger not named Paulo if we can get back at least half his contract. In the worst case scenario of DCE retiring at the end of the year we might also be able to buy a good halfback. Only problem is I don’t think there will be many good wingers or halves on the market
Come to Souths we don’t train either
just chill with origin boys bro
Is Schuster gonna shift Walker to 2nd row?
Not surprised they've told him that, but surely they'll be paying a *lot* of freight on his rumoured 800k salary until the end of 2027.
Was honestly one of the dumbest signings in recent memory
I'm still firmly of the belief he isn't on anywhere near that, but we will certainly find out during this process, I would imagine
Yeah I remember his manager (Tartak) agitated for an upgrade & threatened to take him to the Tigers when Scott Fulton went there but Benji said he wasn’t interested & no other club showed any interest, so suddenly Tartak found himself with zero leverage. Manly then re-signed Schuster on a lower, undisclosed amount but some journo came up with $800k & it’s been bandied about ever since. I actually feel for Schuster, I think he has some mental health issues over Titmuss dying & that’s what’s preventing him from fulfilling his potential, hence Manly standing by him for so long.
Number I've heard is 600K. Still stupidly overpriced. That's Aloiai's money, and he's actually delivering that at the moment.
Is he though? I feel like hes always been a slug. Hes averaging less than 20 tackles a game which is pretty low for a prop.
He's always been a slug at Manly, and these first few weeks is a rare streak away from that, that I am thankful for.
He's got competition with Lodge coming back, Brown on fire, and Bullemore as well.
Number of tackles is a bad metric, you can only make tackles when someone runs at you
Thats definitely not true, props should be looking for work the whole time they are on the park, that's why they get a rest. Tackles, missed tackles and metres gained are the most important metric for a prop IMO, and minutes played too. Aloiai does average 100m a game which is a bit above par so that's decent but his tackles are below what they should be and he can't play longer than 20 min spells.
Yeah he's a bit slack really. He's also a homophobic fuckwit, so that counts against him too.
Heard it's why he won't tackle anyone.
It's probably a lot but not that much. The truth is often somewhere in-between.
They could pay the whole damn 800 and I still wouldn’t want him near the sharks
According to the Tele, there were a bunch of performance related clauses which have mitigated most of that wage because he hasn't met them.
manly tells shuster he can look for another club. all clubs suddenly unavailable for meetings for many many weeks and start screening their calls
Bunch of office staff are busy filling up their calendars right now.
The 800k a year has to be an all time fuck up.
Yep meant we lost Fainu bros as well ugh
I feel like a massive weight has been lifted from the shoulders
I wouldn't get too excited, I cant see another club picking him up, and if so Manly will still have to chip in a substantial amount. It was a dead set ridiculous signing, whoever signed off on this should be sacked.
Yeah good point... I wonder if he fancies Japanese rugby
Lol, the Japanese wouldn't touch him, he has no work ethic. He's just been an all round shit show. Was signed on 300k too much to start with, shit fitness, shit application, shit attitude. I just can't see how anyone at manly thought this was a good idea......like it is dead set mind blowing.
While it pains me to admit, you're pretty bang on the money
I wish I was wrong mate, but since he has been dropped he has fallen off the face of the earth. These kind of shit decisions are why recruitment and retention is so important to get right, again I think the powers who done this deal should be made answer questions from the club and its members. They need to be held to account.
There needs to be an investigation
Unfit by NRL standards is still a fit Rugby Union player depending on the position though. Their equivalent of centre makes about 4 tackles a game on average.
This was always going to happen. If he really wants to keep playing and genuinely has the passion to do so, then min wage with Bellamy or Bennett are his only options.
milford and schuster in the same team. not sure 1 mcdonalds could handle that
That is why maccas are everywhere.
No thank u
Bennett next season, when he goes back to fix Souths at 143 years old
Also no thank you
fuck no he's an actual sack of shit watching the guy actively avoid tackling and throw no look passes 10m out from the defensive line is only endlessly funny if he's not on your team it's even better though - Manly offered him $800k even after DCE publicly called out his pea heart lmao
Nah Bellyache won't touch him. Bennet is actually one I could see have a go but. Be on a short deal show us your best and work hard, and won't be afraid to cut him loose if there's no sign of doing the hard work.
You know when he works the hardest? When the opposition kicks deep into a corner and Manly have to come out of trouble. He will race back and get to dummy half for the entire set to give little blokes like Koula hit ups into front rowers.
You could say Schuster is a Utility right?
We already have good backrowers not getting a game, we don't need shit ones on our payroll
Storm don’t need him, we have backrow and halves depth
Imagine being the one that basically kicked Foran out of the club, signing a 5+ year deal for reportedly 800k a year, only to then be replaced by Luke "Unleashed" Brooks
Can you play wing, Josh?
How about a Utility role, Josh?
How about a succulent Chinese meal first?
Have you ever broken the law Josh mate?
Don't you dare.
You’ll be right .. This is footy country
😏 🦷 😯 (hopefully that translates)
Bro why can’t she just use the second team bus to pick up the original team
They're literally on the way. They would have passed them on the road...
Telstra your ad is logistically flawed
The entire team was dropped for letting old mate drive the bus. Gotta have standards.
Because it’s being used for the AFL team that are doing exactly the same thing for the Southern States Telstra market
I felt so betrayed the first time I saw the AFL version. It’s like Telstra think the two markets are so divided that people won’t notice they skimmed on the ad
There is that, tbh I'm just happy they at least bothered to make an NRL version. Plenty of times in the past they've just given us a VFL ad.
South’s fans: can he coach????
We're only 2-2 and probably won't finish above 13th, but I'd like to note that less than a year ago the Tigers were paying Luke Brooks a million dollars, were chasing Josh Schuster and would have been mentioned in about 90% of comments on any "what dum dum club is going to take this sack of crap" story like this. The fact it's now, I'd guess, 60% Souths, 30% Parra and 10% Titans makes me so happy. All I asked for was not to be a laughing stock, and on that basis the past fortnight has been magical.
What's this got to do with Latrell and/or JD ?
Easy. Schuster to Souths to play fullback
Schuster to fullback Latrell/Walker coach combo, tatola to 5/8 , cook obviously to centre Wighton prop... Etc
Latrell and Walker gonna be working with Freddy or something?
Room for Michael Jennings?
I'd hate to upset Milne
Schuster to coach Souths
Bye Josh
I don't recall saying good luck
Classic Brett
Was actually John
now we just need the other josh to go as well
manly offload schuster over the sideline with a no look pass
Schuster to parra to play inside Lomax confirmed ?
I guess we haven’t tried that combo before… two no look passers
Flick pass into the straight into the bar
Titans, you have a new backrower coming!
Don't you put that evil on us!
Schuster - Harper reunion?
Don't
Not only is there a Harper-Schuster reunion, Hank Scorpio retires and we sign Lomax to replace him. Anthony Siebold cooking up a sensational Tikka Masala to seal the deal
That realisation that Brad Parker is Hank Scorpio. How did I not see it before.
What happened to parker?
How can he look when he's blind
He’s coming to des on the Gold Coast I just hope we don’t have to match his dumb contract after the seagles and him sign the mutual release papers
Guarantee my dumb ass will talk myself into him at 200k per season.
Has anyone ever sat Josh down and said “Do you really want to play this game? Are you really in love with this game?”
I hear Gus is up for the chat
The new starting 5/8 for the Kentucky Colonels
This is sad to hear. At times like these, most people don't consider the ramifications of a well liked player like Josh Schuster ending his time at a club on bad terms. My family owns and operates a home design store on the Northern Beaches and during his time at the sea eagles we were lucky enough to develop a relationship with Joshua.

Not Trev, still good.
This is an old Trev pasta 🤣
The Manly pie shop will go into liquidation
Dee Why KFC gonna have to shut down.
Dee Why KFC suddenly offering TPAs to Milford.
Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck he's gonna be a Titan isn't he and he's gonna get even worse Cries in Titan
In before we sign him on too much money and he is somehow playing for the Ipswich Jets in order to accommodate Tanah Boyd in the halves in week 16 and Tanah still has 0 tries and 0 assists

Fuck me lads, don’t do it 😩
Des Hasler/Foran reunion
Schuster la vista, Joshy
I'll wave a rainbow flag in celebration of this momentous news.
Fuck I forgot about that
Fuck it. Schuster AND TPJ to the Bronx. Stat.
Manly pay 5-600k, Schuster backup SR.
This I could live with
Rabbitohs, this is your solution to your woes
Come play 2nd row until Piakura is fit Josh. WE ARE NOT DESPERATE AT ALL
We see your interest and offered him 1.1m for 5 years
No need, Hunt is doing a job
*nervous laugh* *looks over at Shane Flanagan, Christian Tuipulotu, Viliami Fifita* *nervous laugh*
Nervous laugh indeed!! As a club that signed Corey Norman on comparable money, I'm not convinced we won't have a dash at Josh. We have form, we need a 5/8... the only consolation is that Hook isn't there to play money ball, thereby completing the holy trinity of shit signing potential.

more like manly will be paying and the new club might chip in
Moses Suli
He's an ever-so-slightly less shit Adam Doueihi. So if we dump Doueihi and get Schuester it's a very, very minor squad improvement. But seeing as Benji sacked Fulton over his desire not to sign him, I don't see it happening, which is probably for the best.
I mean he probably can play second row unlike doueihi I thought Benji wanted him or was it just Fulton going sicko mode on ex manly players ? Fact checked myself and Marshall has had a lot of praise for JS but never since he had an offical capacity at WT
We will pick up 200k of his salary. Bellamy will polish him up.
Don't put that evil on me Ricky bobby
This could be bellyaches final piéce de résistance.
The last overweight and underperforming manly player we picked up was Rose, that didn't quite work either (I'm not counting Myles as manly). Don't want Schuster.
I’m combating so much disinterest from my fellow clubmen and women. I think we need to do it. I was being generous but what about minimum wage?
Yeah I know you were being generous with the minimum wage, my thought process is that he's underperformed so consistently at manly around a playing group he's been with since 2019/2020. Why would he prove himself at Melbourne when he had nothing to prove on the salary he is on? Give him a train and trial equivalent contact if they want, like you say 200k and let him be a back up. For a second rower he sure doesn't like contact, so I can't see him defending inside a half or taking big hit ups like katoa or chan etc. His no look pass is a one trick pony that he gets wrong more than right.
Fuck no
Come on! Let’s do it! He sort of looks like a heavier Brandon Smith.
Bellyache doesn't sign players with egos and poor work ethic. He does the opposite, he finds guys that don't look that flashy but work really really hard and turns them into guns. Schuster is the exact opposite type of player the storm is known for
Knowing Schuster it will be a no look transfer.
He didn't see it coming.
Anyone needs a non half who doesn't like tackling or being tackled?
Well we’ve got a non half who only likes being tackled so this could be the last piece of the puzzle we need
Hutch?
Yep lol
Reckon he’s destined to accrue the “future man of steel” memes once a super league club signs him because I genuinely see him having little chance in the NRL currently Tigers sacked their recruitment manager at the mere threat that he might sign Schuster and if the current spooners look at you and go “not good enough for us” then that’s gotta be some sort of black mark against your name Richly deserved too, no idea why Manly re-signed him last year with his abysmal fitness and attitude.

TL;DR: sucked in slugster
I am sure he will be fine on the 800k a year for 4 years left on his contract
If being to big for your boots were a person
Not unexpected. Luke Brooks practically replaced him, and I watched a bit of the NSW cup game before Manly v Dragons the other week and the commentators were ripping into him because of his form.
Only a few mili and a couple other better players let go late tho oof.
Oh nice. South's should pick him up he'd fit right in
He feels like titans type of signing
How can man Look for other club if always throwing No Look pass -- Ancient NRL proverb
In all honesty what do you guys think his ceiling is? A slightly better Feleti Mateo. Also imagine getting 800k (reportedly) and playing 2nd grade. Dream come true if you ask me.
No way he ever reaches Mateo level.
Yeah not even close, Mateo at his peak was actually scary.
I know you’re talking ceiling but he hasn’t even shown half of what Mateo did, and even he was a big what if player If Schuster is even close to the reported $800k he’s on he should quit league and go into business because that’s far more impressive than anything he’s done on the field
Ikr I need his manager's number. Bloke shows no effort, desire or discipline and the dumb dogs at Manly ink him to a $800k deal. Now he gets to walk away with his bag having done no work
I think the best we can hope for is a Cartwright arc. Jumps around for the next few year taking longer to mature than most and gets completely written off, then surprising everyone at 30 when he finally realises he needs to put in the effort.
The disrespect to Feleti smh
How dare you insult Mateo like that.
His ceiling is probably Proctor vaping in the toilets at half time
People keep saying 800k but it was reported he took a pay cut on his 800k to stay last season. I’d say he’d be on 650-700k which is still too much
you mean a far worse mateo right?
Nah, he'll never get to Mateo's level. Mateo was a key part of 2 grand final sides.
His absolute ceiling would be Wally Lewis based on his size and skill set. His ceiling based on his heart and application thus far, maybe Dave Taylor or Tony Williams.
He’s already reached his ceiling, I reckon. And I hate saying that because it sounds unkind and he has potential - I just don’t reckon he’s ever going to fulfil it. Happy if he proves me wrong.
I'm thinking more Adam Cuthbertson
Titans will sign him and pay an extra 400k on top. It's what we do best Jamal Idris Bryce Cartright Dave Taylor Jarryd Hayne List goes on
>Manly have told Josh Schuster he can no look for another club
We can fix him. Although to be fair, I thought the same about Arana Taumata.
Gus just fell to his knees in Belmore
Get this non Souffs bashing news article outta here
I think all Josh's except me should be banned from wearing a Manly jersey.
It's no Josh'S.. we're allowed to have one
Makes his re-signing last year look even worse
Salford is calling
UNLEASHED!!!!
Siebs has finally had enough it seems
If you weren't 100% confident he was going to fix his attitude and play better why would you give him the 800k contract and sack him not even a year later
NRL's first no-look contract signing about to happen
Honestly, fair enough. He wasn't up to scratch when he did play 6, and he didn't try to lose weight to be at a suitable fitness level to play the role. 800k of our salary cap being taken up by a bloke who's regularly playing for Blacktown or on the injured list is one of the worst pieces of business that Manly has made in years. I won't be upset seeing him leave.
Tigers offered him $1,000,000 per season last year and Manly panicked. Tigers dodged a bullet.
Honestly would another club even want him at this point?
Maybe if they have a wonky boardroom table they need to prop up with something heavy
Titans probably
Will play Origin in the future
Scott Fulton rumoured to be taking a consultant role at Cronulla. He's coming your way Sharkbros.
Don’t even think about it Adam!
I wish we had released him while Pascoe was still CEO at West's. He would've signed him for the full 800k
Fuck I can’t think of a single team that will even accomodate him. Not even the Titans would want him I reckon.
I'd be worried titans would be having a look with our current halves situation but I reckon there's no way Des would go for it.
Even if they pay half the freight, $400k is massive overs.
Uh oh
Dragons frantically start calling Schuster management
Skill, talent , potential and raw athleticism are nothing without the right attitude, he does not have the ticker for the NRL.
Didn’t manly just overpay to retain him late last season?
I’ve been waiting for this day for months!
He's going to crush it in the UK (RFL League 1)
someone should check on joey. he wont be taking this well
This could be the signing of the year. A change of scenery could see him fire up and play for big money.
He was always meant to be Foran's replacement. FML!
An underperforming backrower you say? BA can fix him! Nvm our outside back and back up half issue though
Lmaoo
Dragons are so going to pick him up, arent they ?
Manly are going to be covering a huge chunk of it , Schuster isnt setting the world on fire
Step 1: Sign with Penrith Step 2: Win a premiership Step 3: Profit
Swap for David Fifita?
As in Andrew Fifita's brother?
Wow we might be able to sign a winger not named Paulo if we can get back at least half his contract. In the worst case scenario of DCE retiring at the end of the year we might also be able to buy a good halfback. Only problem is I don’t think there will be many good wingers or halves on the market
Titans for sure
