People on here have been bagging Des for not blooding these young guys sooner.
Des then gives them their shot and things like this happen, some people still aren't happy.
Can't have it both ways.
Yeap I say he will cost some to keep also

I’m not usually one to jump the gun on a player, but this kid looks the goods. Size, evasive, good D, ball playing. I can see the Fittler comparisons after last night.
Yeah looks the goods while its been crap season I can see hope in Funa, schuster and Harper.
There making big case to start at full strength

Yep agree. And where are all the Hoppa advocates. Tough for the young fella but outside him getting some experience, he’s shown no more than those picked previous. Nothing seen to suggest he’s the next big thing either as he’s been portrayed on here. Des was probably right not to throw him in any earlier. And Is it me or physically does young Hoppa look like a player that’s not particularly imposing? Perhaps all the hype had me expecting more. I hope he goes well over the next few and shows some promise only 2 games in I guess. Tge debuts of Schu and Harper have overshadowed the hype around him perhaps.
Yes I agree, but this kid is one we need to hang onto. He just oozes confidence and considering its his first game in the big league that is a big plus
Manly teen's best NRL debut ever: Marshall
Wests Tigers star Benji Marshall paid a huge compliment to Manly's debutant five-eighth Josh Schuster on Saturday night.

benji reckons it was the best debut he s seen
"Remember his name because I tell you what, he was commanding the ball in the game where kids don't usually do that, so I was really impressed with him."
If you went to the game you wouldn't believe it was his debut the kid was so vocal and commanding it was great to watch
Agree I happily let dylan go to dogs to keep him he a star.
I’d let Hoppa go to keep him as well. He will be our key play maker in years to come.
DCE contract finishes up in 2023. Josh can then take the reins and some of his $$$

There is no A.I. Just better computers
This is a very good point.
Yeah Hopa got some development to go imo but 2 acl have probably slowed him somewhat
I lost count the amount of times that Cherry-Evans came over to Schuster side, and it was almost never as part of a combination play with him - Only time I remember was the set piece try, which Schuster was the most responsible for.
Sure you could argue Cez was trying to take pressure of Schuster, but we got far less a good good look at him, and it looks like pressure doesn’t phase him at all.
if Schuster continues as 5/8, poor Schuster only has Turbo to work well with. He needs so much more than JetSki, Waddell and Parker

100% - I was waiting for them to go left and give him some early ball to see what he could do with his running game. Unfortunately Levi and DCE kept it in house last night and starved him a bit or cramped him out of it.
He may have got a bit kick happy last night - but he'll learn from that. Really looking forward to seeing a bit more of his running game if he can get a bit of ball on his own on that left edge. I think we'll see him given a bit more of a free rein this week with any luck. Keep DCE out of his hair and let him try and do some things off his own bat. Only way he will learn. The season is done and may as well use the remaining games to hone his play if he is seen as the solution to our 5/8 issues for next year.
He looks great. He is our solution at 5/8.

That time of the month? My missus gets bad cramps
That article mentions that Walker could be back next week, interesting to see who plays where.Manly teen's best NRL debut ever: Marshall

I enjoyed him getting in the ear of Leilua. It was probably too clever for BJ to understand, but I liked it

And he can take Parker, waddell, jetski, Levi, Crocker and Garrick with him
Anything with more than two syllables would have BJ stumped.
