Schuster is on 800k if manly chips in 400k to move him on, I think at 400k he is a good purchase
Where would he play? Doesn't have the work rate to play in the forwards, and not fit enough to play in the halves.
I'm happy for him to be someone else's problem. Chipping in $400k for one year isn't nearly enough - he's signed until 2027 on that sort of wicket.

throw in 2025 at say 400k

Schuster - great talent but doesn’t like the hard work. Shame.

Benji didn't want him last year.
He is not what we need.
In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
No to Latrell from me. I have been a huge fan of his but the last few years he hasn’t been on the field enough due to injury or suspension. These days his intent is on hurting the opposition rather than beating them on the scoreboard.
As for Schuster, what a talent. I am undecided on him. He could be anything if he gets his head right.

Glad to see Im not the only lunatic here Jedi.....
Contrary to reports, he is NOT on $800K pa. This figure comes from when he was signed last year, for another 3 years for $2.4M but that included the current year so its a 4 year deal not three, so he is on $ 625K pa. Still too much....but...
I would be kind of excited to get him on the following conditions.....
1. Manly throw in so we pay no more than $400K first year and his deal levels out to around $500K per year.
2. he commits to playing 13.
3. Benji and staff can get him fit and motivated and that he gets on with the Fainus.
4. He dedicates himself to improving defence (would come with better fitness)
A fit Schuster playing at 13 would do a lot for the Tigers.
a. Give us a very good ball playing forward, another pivot for Api/Galvin/Sezer/Luai.
b. Allow us to return Pole to the forward rotation and enable us to stop carrying a back/utility on the bench.
I can see a world where it work and if it was announced this afternoon he was coming Id be equally excited and scared. Bottom line is he is unlikely to be coming and it is equally unlikely that points 1, 2,3, 4 above would bemet anyway.
Too many cooks in the kitchen. I don’t want the ball being taken away from Luai and Galvin. Perhaps you could make an arguement if you trade Latu back to manly as an understudy to cherry Evan’s so you are cap neutral
"Lomax has that Noffa vibe" is one great summary of Lomax. Spot on, IMO.Lomax has that Noffa vibe. I think he can play but can be divisive. I’d rather buy another prop.
A fit Schuster playing at 13 would do a lot for the Tigers.
I don't disagree with that tbh.
But the chances of him knuckling down to extent that he can be trusted to defend in the middle for 80 mins are pretty much nil.
Plus I still think there's a good chance that Galvin ends up as our #13 in the next few years if and when he fills out a bit.
In other words, we're not desperate for someone to solve that problem, and thus I'm happy for Schuster to be someone else's reclamation project.
