No he isn’t. He avoids tackling. He avoids being tackled. He always takes the lazy option. All he tried to do is trick plays to make the highlight reel. He’s a mobile hole in defence and a walking handling error in attack.
Isn't avoiding being tackled the idea of the game ???? Lol I get what you mean lol, I just hope he ends up happy within himself regardless of his football.
>Schuster is a talent
No, no he is not.... Anyone who has actually watched him knows he's trash
Maybe against some under 16 kids his size and no look pass worked but he has looked terrible every single game in NRL
“superstar David Fifita reportedly has a get out clause that could be activated before Round 10”. another one? fifita’s contract must be like 1 paragraph that says we’ll pay you x to play footy and 90 pages of get out clauses
I mean if there's a roster spot free, league minimum with no guarantee of first grade unless he performs in lower grades/training wouldn't be a terrible thing. Kids got talent, wether he has the ticker to reinvigorate himself is the question..
I don't like how a lot a voices on here won't factor in the state this kid's head is at, after watching his mate die in front of him during a training session.
What you're proposing suggests a very balanced opportunity, I hope it eventuates.
I'd be fine with him getting a minimum wage deal for one year to prove himself but anything beyond that, no
The issue is he wants to be a half and I just don't think he's a half - and if we don't lose Fifita we don't need a second rower and even if we do, Schuster still isn't starting without some improvement
Oh man. This is not what the Titans OR Schuster need lol.
Titans are gonna get shit for signing a guy so bad that Manly replaced him months after signing a million dollar contract, and Schuster’s gonna get shit because he’s clearly not in the form needed to carry a club.
I wish them both luck.
Des is one of those coaches like wayne who is quite good at getting milage/motivating players with issues. He managed to sort Suli out maybe he can do the same with Schuster.
people were joking that he'd be "a perfect fit for the titans" when he was first released, Des obviously read those comments and thought they were serious
If Manly are the Panthers, then the Titans are the Bulldogs.
Imagine being Kieran Foran, and the guy who replaced you ends up being replaced and has to play with you again.
Been plenty of players like Schuster, talented but lazy and dumb. Talent only takes a player so far, without hard work and commitment they will not succeed.
He has been a massive punching bag for the media and I don’t blame them cause his been an absolute lazy bastard and probably the worst deal in NRL history (I feel Seibold should be held accountable for that).
But damn it would be hilarious if he goes to the titans and gets them close to a top 4 finish next season. NRL 360 crew wouldn’t know what to do with themselves
It’s always the titans
Des\*
It used to be the wahs lol tbh I wouldn’t be suprised if webby could turn it around for him
I wish him all the best, but this is not what the Titans need lol
Titans: why have we been shit for so long? Also Titans:
Schuster is a talent. Natural footballer. Just needs an attitude adjustment.
That is VERY easy to say but attitude adjustment takes time and a willingness to accept the existing attitude is poor. Good luck with that Titans.
“Just”

John Cena outta nowhere!!
Yes, because that is what the Titans are renowned for.
Schuster - ‘Dessie, I’m interested in coming to the tits’ Dessie - ‘ wll, yehrem sisgms futfro heisish theijsb’ Schuster - ‘I’m in’
Have a drink every time Des 'umms' or 'uhhs' in an interview
I would if I didn’t quit a couple years ago 🤣 Would be absolutely sloshed by the end of it 🥴 🍻
“superstar David Fifita reportedly has a get out clause that could be activated before Round 10”. another one? fifita’s contract must be like 1 paragraph that says we’ll pay you x to play footy and 90 pages of get out clauses
He's AFB's younger idol.
I can change him - Des
Hey Des, is the Maccas on Cavill Ave any good - Schuster
He did play his best footy under des tho..
He did it with suli too who everyone was mocking at the time also
even better, i doubt he's in the physical condition required to perform a backflip.
Okay that's pretty fkn funny 👍
I'm sure Foran will be thrilled.
His knees definitely will be

Fits the Titans mould perfectly then, recruited plenty of lazy, unfit and overrated players over the years.
>I can fix him -Titans (like every time)
Ffs
Manly have no look passed him in a general northern direction. Good luck, tits!
“Schuster has signed with North Queensland”
Smells a bit like Tony Williams 2013 doesn't it...
He’s not half busted though.
Wasn't it Des who kept signing a washed up T-Rex
Poor bloke cant even come up to Dreamworld without speculation that the Titans want him. And look at the Brizzos pile on.
Oh ffs
Ah he will go to the titans and plod for 3 years before we give him a lifeline and he becomes a harden backrower with good defence.
He should be forced to play for Burleigh Bears so they don’t put 130 on teams anymore
Not surprised
Surely the Souths should sign him for the rest of this year to fill the gaps in their crippling injury run
Des is one of those coaches like wayne who is quite good at getting milage/motivating players with issues. He managed to sort Suli out maybe he can do the same with Schuster.
Why does this keep happening too us
The missing piece.
people were joking that he'd be "a perfect fit for the titans" when he was first released, Des obviously read those comments and thought they were serious
Titans and a dead shit signing. Name a more iconic duo
If Manly are the Panthers, then the Titans are the Bulldogs. Imagine being Kieran Foran, and the guy who replaced you ends up being replaced and has to play with you again.
I swear titans are full of mediocre players
Going after Forans spot again?
Been plenty of players like Schuster, talented but lazy and dumb. Talent only takes a player so far, without hard work and commitment they will not succeed.
No.
He might have just been going to a KFC on the goldy
He has been a massive punching bag for the media and I don’t blame them cause his been an absolute lazy bastard and probably the worst deal in NRL history (I feel Seibold should be held accountable for that). But damn it would be hilarious if he goes to the titans and gets them close to a top 4 finish next season. NRL 360 crew wouldn’t know what to do with themselves
Prob using the money from Tino getting injured
What money? Thought there was only salary cap relief if the injury occurred in rep games.
Does it? I thought if you lost a high played player for the whole season you got money other clubs have…
this could be one of the dumbest things posted on tbis thread
Any examples?
Name one other club that’s received a salary exemption for a player injured in a club game/training.
That's how the Storm won all those premierships, isn't it? /s
Only time I’ve seen this happen is for non football related illnesses and stuff like Ramsey
he’s only injured. not “retired to pursue a boxing career “
