Schuster is deadset the most overrated player in recent memory. He has a fraction of the skill Cartwright had and has shown a fraction of what Carty showed before joining Titans.
Schuster is potentially better than any utility we have had in recent years. But that’s all he would be for us. A more talented Salmon. unless he was willing to join for fringe first grade utility money. He wouldn’t be worth talking about. Even then, does he have the work ethic we would expect? Worth a shot if he agreed to the contract and wanted to prove himself with us. But i honestly expect him to look for the biggest offer he can get and trying to get easy money wherever he goes.
Carty couldve been anything if not for the horrific leg break.
That really derailed his career. He did well just to get back tbh. I remember at the time there was talk it may be over for him.
So for all the shit he copped hes done great to get back and be playing good footy.
Hes going to be a 200+ game nrl player easy. Keep up this form and he will he 250.. great achievement.
Schuster has a lot of issues. He needs work.
I dont particularly think hes a quick fix. I think hed need 12-18 months under ivan to really blossom.
Hes definitely overated but cant deny he has a great skill set. Hes not kiks. Hes quite different.
He won't sign with us thats for sure. Even for the last half of the season. I never thought he would.
I think he is capable of very good footy tho.. under bellamy or wayne, cleary robbo etc. He could be very good.
Has the size, good speed for a big bloke and great lateral movement for someone his size. Am offload and ball playing and short kicking.
Just needs a coach to get him fit and hardem him up.
I actually think the opposite to you. I think he will sign for unders somewhere and try prove himself and turn his career round. There won't be intersest by clubs at 800k... but if hes willing to sign on somewhere for 300 with bonuses if he plays more/all fg games.. be worth a risk for some clubs
