The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

"Five-eighth Josh Schuster has not been named to play against the Titans to allow him to do more reconditioning work on a recent quad injury." From the Sea Eagles website.

Not sure why he was given the green light against the tigers when it was so obvious that he was still dealing with this injury.

Does 'reconditioning work' mean he needs work on the injury or on his fitness? I found that a strange phrase.

Rumors around that Schuster is out for 6 weeks . Manly have the players to cover for any injuries . Hopefully everyone is fully fit and ready to go by round 16 .Let's go Manly .

PR way of saying 'we brought him back too early'

I'm guessing both .

In some ways I think the worst thing to happen to Josh was the manager agitating for the 6 and thus the moving on of a Manly favourite.

So rather than young Josh just quietly developing his game, fitness, body, footy smarts, he became a beacon of fan interest/obsession/hope/skepticism.

Dumbest thing I've ever seen a manager do.

The Shu Perspective ....

Skill is like the cream that always rises to the top

And The Skilful Shu will rise before all the doubters doubting eyes

It means Schusters injury prone.

Who would have thought at this stage of their careers that Foz would be the more reliable player

By Caitlyn Jenner's hairy testicles we know how to create Myths on here ...

First of all it was Dessie's fault that The Glass Slipper felt compelled to eat 5 buckets of KFC a day to put on weight to play 2nd row ...

Now it is the Medical staff's fault for only giving him 4 weeks to get over a cork ... and only let him play after training all week and getting through the Captain's run ....

mmm..yep..they didn't want to actually say that..

 

[winnyason]

Yeah kid has some issues with lower leg ongoing for last 2 seasons.
Just come back when your right please, Johns has plenty of shortfalls but if he sticks to his game plan he is solid back up

That's the strange thing though Woodsie, blind freddy could see from early in the match that he wasn't quite right.
So was it a re-injury, not properly healed, loss of fitness?
I mentioned in the match day (or post match) thread that he looked like he would have benefited from playing for Blacktown for a week before firsts.

I don't know ... but either do the people who are 100% certain he ran out injured ....

He got through a week of training and a captains run .... you would think if it was troubling him he would have said something ... or ... the staff would have noticed .. they all get leg massages before the game .. so again no issue must have presented ..

Whatever the reason may be (we here on ST may never know but I'm sure the speculation will continue), I think we are all hoping he gets back to full fitness soon and we can see the best of what he can do on the field.
That will do the world of good for Schu (and won't hurt Manly's chances either).

If this keeps up it won't be long before some here start trying to guess how much he's paid ... and offering their views on why that's way too much!

....or suggest he switch to centre as he won't get injured there....

Lol I reckon he could make a brilliant prop!

Is it possible he got injured in warm up.

 

[Woodsie]

Possible ... but once again .. chances are he would have been replaced .. unless he didn't say anything or down played it ...
