[Resurrected] Josh Schuster

[Supreme Leader]

would you want to stay?

would you want to stay?

Yes, he has some good mates around a similar age, and they could form the pillars of another golden age for Manly.

Des just needs to start picking a few of them.

Mate on your side, if we don't resign him and loose him to another our club is doomed

 

[Heckenberg]

If he cares about his career he should take less to play elsewhere

Nah he should just milk the club for all they’ve got just like our captain.

Ouch.

Anyone want to run a book when we will see Josh throw a "look" pass. FMD he loves the no look option doesn't he.

So do I. It's great to watch. He did at least 3 tonight and hit the spot each time.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Needs to play 5/8

Great to watch, we are short with edge forwards at the moment, I think he deserves the 6 jumper though.

He just deserves to be there full stop, position not important. LOL he even threw a no look to DCE for the try on a simple draw fullback and pass play.

 

[susan]

That was gold C and C . Only time I smiled all game.God love him for it too. Confidence is everything. Just let him play. He’s that damned good.
The professor will probably try to reel him in. Please no

 

[HK_Eagle]

Needs to play 5/8

He did. Foran played half and DCE played pretender as usual

 

[DaveLP]

Josh to 5/8 give him haumole walker saab and watch the tries roll in especially when turbos back. I wish foran would stop cutting him out for Parker and instead give him early ball for him to set something up.

From Fox Sport and Zero Tackle:

"The South Sydney Rabbitohs and Josh Schuster's management have confirmed the five-eighth and second-rower will be taking an indefinite break from rugby league for mental health reasons.

The former junior prodigy who captained the New South Wales under-18 team and went on to have a breakout season with the Manly Sea Eagles has struggled to get onto the field in recent years through a mix of injury, form and his own personal mental health.

He played a handful of NSW Cup games, but has decided to step away from the game to seek professional help for his mental health per a News Corp report.

Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly confirmed the club would continue to support Schuster, who hasn't trained for over a week, while he steps away from the game.

“Our only priority is Josh's welfare and mental health,” Solly told the publication.

“The Rabbitohs will continue to support Josh and his family through this.”

Schuster, now 24 years of age, played 50 games in the top grade with Manly between 2020 and 2024.

His manager Mario Tartak though said rugby league is not a priority right now.

“At this point in time, our primary focus is on Josh Schuster's welfare and mental health,” Tartak said.

“Football is the least of our concerns right now.

“The South Sydney Rabbitohs have shown tremendous support, and both Josh and his family are incredibly grateful for the care and understanding the club has extended.

“We kindly ask that everyone respects Josh's privacy and gives him the space he needs as he navigates through this period.”

At 24, and with the world at his feet, that's so sad. I hope he gets the help he needs to overcome his struggles.

 

[Rocky]

Sad.

 

[JenEagle]

Very sad
Was close to origin in 2021
That game against the eels the day bozo passed away.
So sad

 

[Hertera]

What is sad is we knew this and extended him on a massive contract. We all hope he finds the help he needs but what were we doing?

 

[Hertera]

he was paid bucket loads of cash, did he invest in property

He ate it all

 

[The '47ers]

We have heard this story before… some people are not cut of for professional sport. Big deal, kid is only 24, go get a job like every other guy and earn his way through life. I bet in a few years, penny will drop. Bugs me, kids have zero resilience and all have mental health issues… he was paid bucket loads of cash, did he invest in property or similar… hope so.

Not sure if it's mental health or not but we were talking at work last night saying David Fifita is going to turn around shortly and it's all going to be gone.
