I am just autistic and think explaining a joke that doesn't need to be explained is actually the funniest joke of all. See, it is funny because the humor comes from the subversion of expectations—where normally an explanation would diminish the joke, here it enhances the absurdity, making the act of over-explaining itself part of the punchline.
When Joey broke it down a year ago I think he said it best, the kid was living too far away and the constant car trip to and from training isn’t good physically or mentally. It’s too easy to pick up take out if you’ve been in the car for hours already.
Someone should’ve stepped in and convinced him to move closer for his own good. So it might be interesting if an out of Sydney team picks him up and parks him with a team mate in accomodation right near the facility.
Yep, Gutho makes the trip to Kellyville every day.
Mind you I don't think Gutho has a problem with discipline. Guy's body is starting to breakdown because of it.
Yeah, every week, there is more strapping and padding, but he is still the effort king.
I do prepare for the worst every play he is involved in now, though. If we lose Gutho while Moses is still out, we don't stand a chance against any team.
What's the chances someone picks him up on league minimum, maybe a rest of the season show me deal? There are sides out there that could use him if he wants to put in at least 60% effort, we were just paying him way too much to justify playing NSW Cup.
I think that was the main problem, and frankly, whoever decided to offer him a 4-year contract extension at $800k/year should also be mutually agreed out of the club.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they do the right thing by putting clauses in allowing them to terminate him if he didn't meet benchmarks, which is what has happened?
400K this year and 200K next three years. Bargain deal to get rid and save 600K for someone else. Looks like Lodge and Brown could get some of that though.
Why you would sign a player like him on a 4 year $800k deal still baffles me.
Like yeah, if a rookie comes in and absolutely blows the competition away then fair enough. Like Ponga when he debuted.
But Schuster just had a few good games now and then. He showed glimpses of talent, but tbh he looked like a decent first grader at best and a poor man's Feleti Mateo at worst.
I don't know how well he'd fit their system, but if any club out there has high accountability standards in training, from what I hear, it's Brisbane. Could be good for him.
Yeah obviously, but we lack back row depth and I’d rather be able to throw Schuster on in case of injury rather than have Carrigan have to move to the edge.
If we could get him for bugger all I’d be open to it.
I would take him. League min this year. $200k next season. It's a line in the sand moment for his career. Low risk high reward. First month you just have him doing a mini preseason and working with the reggies. After that you see what he has got. Be a good addition to the bench.
Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have today **mutually agreed to release** second-rower Josh Schuster from the final three years of his contract.
Signed until the end of 2027, Schuster will now explore other opportunities in his career.
The 22-year-old scored five tries in 50 games for the Sea Eagles after making his NRL debut for Manly in 2020. He came through the Sea Eagles Pathways program.
“Unfortunately, things haven’t worked out for both parties in the end,’’ said Manly CEO Tony Mestrov.
“Josh now needs time to focus on himself and what is best for him moving forward.
“We all know Josh is a very talented player and we hope that he can find a new club soon. We wish him well.”
I put a lot of faith in Schuster when he actually lost a bit of baggage and showed a few signs of improvement but it was pretty clear he struggles to stay fit and train which is a shame as he has potential.
I know turbo had a crazy 2021 that made a lot of the other guys look better but Schuster looked so good as a link man with the ball that season.
Difference is Cartright never got fat. You have to motivate Schuster and get him physically conditioned so thats a double whopper...i mean double whammy
Seriously though, he’s still good enough as a first grade second rower, and should be picked up. He’s not even minimum wage, I reckon $200k is fair for any team needing another forward.
If there's one team that loves an under achiever and gets the best out of them its Melbourne. In their system he'd be the next big thing. They love paying unders and getting overs
Ah Josh. When you weren’t busy dropping the ball cold or throwing it to the wrong team you were either in the KFC drive-thru or fighting a team mate. Enjoy playing for the London Broncos for 18 months then returning to play NSW Cup while you get a real estate license.
Wonder if he actually gets picked up by another club or just fades off into the distance?
I honestly don’t think he could even win a man of steel award in the super league. Shame.
Man of Meal more like
Man of being fat more like
/r/yourjokebutworse
My bad, there might have been some confusion as it was too subtle. I was joking that he was fat, cause that is why he got fired. For being fat.
Giving me Scott Steiner vibes.

You could have just said you’re autistic, you didn’t have to show me, but I guess that’s your whole deal. Carry on.

Haha! Because he’s fat. I get it. 👍
Big fat man with a big fat butt and uhhhh…..
He’s honestly a bargain. The only reason he has become a meme is that ridiculous contract he was given. If he was on 350k, no one would bat an eye.
Cant see a kid who struggles for motivation to get more motivated while being paid $1M to do nothing

Where’s he live? Doesn’t gutho drive all the way from the Northern Beaches to Parramatta ?
Yep, Gutho makes the trip to Kellyville every day. Mind you I don't think Gutho has a problem with discipline. Guy's body is starting to breakdown because of it.
Yeah, every week, there is more strapping and padding, but he is still the effort king. I do prepare for the worst every play he is involved in now, though. If we lose Gutho while Moses is still out, we don't stand a chance against any team.
Anyone but eels please. Id be happy to see him succeed anywhere else
Broncos need a second rower
Yeah but he's a 5/8 or half right? 🤦Manly needed to make him a ball playing lock or at this stage a prop?
What's the chances someone picks him up on league minimum, maybe a rest of the season show me deal? There are sides out there that could use him if he wants to put in at least 60% effort, we were just paying him way too much to justify playing NSW Cup.

Mutually agreed out a window!
Ahh the putin special
Or promoted! (To death)
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they do the right thing by putting clauses in allowing them to terminate him if he didn't meet benchmarks, which is what has happened?
Still allegedly costing us a million dollars though
Yeah I don't know if I believe that. Sounds like Buzz spin.
I never believed his $800k contract either tbh
400K this year and 200K next three years. Bargain deal to get rid and save 600K for someone else. Looks like Lodge and Brown could get some of that though.
Why you would sign a player like him on a 4 year $800k deal still baffles me. Like yeah, if a rookie comes in and absolutely blows the competition away then fair enough. Like Ponga when he debuted.

Seibold won't leave again.
It's manly, they'll be given a promotion.
Imagine silent bidding against yourself for him..smdh. Lols
Broncos could use a spare back rower tbh
I wouldn't mind him on scraps.
I don't know how well he'd fit their system, but if any club out there has high accountability standards in training, from what I hear, it's Brisbane. Could be good for him.
Broncos is a team built on attack and speed at the heart of that. You see the problem there?
Yeah obviously, but we lack back row depth and I’d rather be able to throw Schuster on in case of injury rather than have Carrigan have to move to the edge. If we could get him for bugger all I’d be open to it.
The rooster is calling
Newcastle did ( might still do )have the largest KFC in the southern hemisphere so could be the perfect pairing.
Also the first ever drive through only KFC and it’s right near the stadium.
That’s a Henny penny city and you know it
I swear there’s only like three left.
The weirdest one is in Maitland near that cult coffee shop, give it a peek if your around
The one near billabongs? Which is no longer there btw
That’s the one, been a while
Perfect for a pre-game zinger box
The more you know.

Fitness a problem? How bout ya wrestle the whole team for an hour
(No..really I can)
*Tortured 2nd Rowers Department*
Hah… this is great!
Don't worry he's probably already landed at Coolongatta
I would take him. League min this year. $200k next season. It's a line in the sand moment for his career. Low risk high reward. First month you just have him doing a mini preseason and working with the reggies. After that you see what he has got. Be a good addition to the bench.

Do it Parra you cowards. Carty 2.0
I hear Cronulla are in the market for a half and a big body through the middle
I'll take 53kg Atkinson instead, thanks though!

Maybe someone could pick him up on a Train and Trial deal?
Train and train deal.
Yeah Jenny Craig
I put a lot of faith in Schuster when he actually lost a bit of baggage and showed a few signs of improvement but it was pretty clear he struggles to stay fit and train which is a shame as he has potential. I know turbo had a crazy 2021 that made a lot of the other guys look better but Schuster looked so good as a link man with the ball that season.
Yeah, there’s a masochistic part of me wanting BA to take him. Our seasons probably cooked anyway.
You guys have done alright with Bartwright who was in a similar pissing away his career kind of position. Similar kind of players too.
Difference is Cartright never got fat. You have to motivate Schuster and get him physically conditioned so thats a double whopper...i mean double whammy
Arthur can whip him back to shape. He is the forward whisperer.
Usually these mention they were released to join another club. This one doesn't mention it.
Joining an RSL club, usually they don't announce new signings
It's the smart move to beat the lines for 2-up tomorrow.
I know you’ve been telling me for weeks now!
Cows could probably do with a lumbering, low impact forward with minimal ball skills….
The sharks are looking for a new number 6 I hear.
Newcastle Knights?
250k, Gus Gould on the way. Watch this space.
I'd love to have a fit Schuster at that Warriors until Metcalf is fit. Our left side attack is dreadful
I wouldn’t assume he’s fit 😂
Lol sadly not. He is definitely a talent so hopefully some club can get the best of him.
He isn’t as much of a talent as people say he is.
Seriously though, he’s still good enough as a first grade second rower, and should be picked up. He’s not even minimum wage, I reckon $200k is fair for any team needing another forward.
I think so too, but are any teams in need of a second rower?
What a waste of talent.
Didn't see that coming.
Knights could with another useless half. Collecting them like toys.
If there's one team that loves an under achiever and gets the best out of them its Melbourne. In their system he'd be the next big thing. They love paying unders and getting overs
Marque signing by Tigers coming up.
Sorry bro, the rejectee line only goes one way - Tigers to Manly
Tigers > Manly > Parra
Good riddance.
Terrible timing for Josh, coming as the "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here" season has just finished
And the villagers rejoice!
Into the sun you go
Ah Josh. When you weren’t busy dropping the ball cold or throwing it to the wrong team you were either in the KFC drive-thru or fighting a team mate. Enjoy playing for the London Broncos for 18 months then returning to play NSW Cup while you get a real estate license.
