'Couldn't handle it': Schuster free to LEAVE 😲 - Which clubs are interested? | NRL 360 | Fox League

[@dermo1702]

He’ll probably end up at Souths. His mentality of ‘do as little as possible while earning triple my value’ would mesh well with the shot callers at Souths.

Mate you don’t know what these fellas go through, mental health is also exposed to them. If I were you I’ll just seal me mouth, stay seated on your couch, watch this bloke on TV and continue to twitch your fingers on your phone 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@dermo1702]

@@haytch9623 Why do you bring his mental health into it? He signed a contract that takes him through to 2027 for $800,000 per season. The bloke hasn't cracked first grade this season because there a better players than him at Manly and he was dropped to reserve grade and give the opportunity to sort it out. All the while, whilst playing reserve grade, his contract for $800,000 per season still stands. By some accounts, he has been sulking about playing reserve grade. You can play into the emotive side of the game all you want. But the fact stands that him not playing playing first grade is entirely performance based. A fact that I would imagine he himself is fully aware of.

[@aj-qj4lt]

Sea Eagles bosses have reportedly included a performance clause in Josh Schuster’s contract that has saved them from having to pay the $2.4 million remaining on his deal.All players should have a performance based clause!Some players just look at the $$$ and forget about earning it!

[@grantisshananaa4906]

Smart by Manly putting that in the contract. It proves they know he was 50/50 at best. Good teams have these standards. You're seeing it now at the Storms with Big Nelson. He came back overweight so they dropped him and if he doesn't clean his act up, he's gone. Not a fan of them but it's those standards that keep them at the top.

[@QwidgyboMan]

Nonsense. Are any of the clubs going to pay more if a player overperforms their contract?

[@grantisshananaa4906]

@@QwidgyboMan That's how they get a better price on their next contract?

[@billythakid7230]

That would be harsh on players who suffer big injuries during the season that see them sit out a lot of games. It could also lead to players being more selfish, hogging the ball to meet certain contract incentives.

[@clevelandwilliams5922]

Self entitled earning. Most players of 80’s played part time and worked for a living. Clubs are at fault for encouraging this self entitled, arrogant & bad attitude.

Prior to this season Latrell Mitchell has been carrying a big gut for the preceding 3 years

[@Alekosdw]

He’s been playing well at lock in reserve grade averaging 30 tackles - usually around 8-9 runs for 60+ m and chipping in with his short kicking game and ball playing What do you want him to do ? He’s learning a new position

Please don’t send him to the Titans. We have enough problems. 😅😅😅

I agree, this guy will only make it harder to win. He is a liability for any club. I think he should go to union.

[@sinatheqween4289]

Send to Tonga team hhh

[@Chrissmills]

The clause in the contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. He met all the targets before Christmas but then he had 2 injuries and an illness. That’s just like trying to fire an employee for falling unwell and this is why the RLPA is there for the players. They’ll end up moving him on to another Sydney club for 300-400k with a load of performance clauses and manly will have to carry the rest of his salary for 3 years.

[@grantisshananaa4906]

You raise a very valid legal point. He's definitely gonna get paid from someone.

[@TraversClark]

Any Rugby Union club.

[@johnsmith-ub7vr]

Andrew Johns was raving about this bloke at the start, and it was hard to see why. I wonder what he has to say about him now.

[@gengarpokemon7731]

his lazy, unfit, unmotivated a tolerable version of Latrell but was rubbish and overrated from the get-go. he was never worth 800k, not even worth 400k. he should get the minimum 120k. he hasn't had a performance worth mentioning. the clause in the contract is perfect, been saying that for a long time would solve so many problems for clubs especially with the cost cap. gotta cut the crap of THEY CAN BE A GOOD PLAYER. POTENTIAL ETC AND NOT PAY PEOPLE BASED ON POTENTIAL it's a joke and ludicrous and those deals are done by people that know nothing.

[@eamongleeson5743]

It comes back to when foran was at eagles. His agent pulled a Ponga and said he would leave if he didn't get 5/8, so they shipped off Foran and got a big dud, then re-signed him for more $. Kudos to manager to get a quick commission, then move onto the next big hype.

So what happens to the 800k? Does he still earn it or do they buy him out

[@TwoFourFourFour]

“Earn it”

[@grantisshananaa4906]

If no NRL or Super league team picks him up, Manly have to pay out his full contract. If he goes to another team, Manly covers the difference to make up the 800k total per year.

[@Vasilik6]

@@grantisshananaa4906 so he still earns the 800k either way ?

[@grantisshananaa4906]

@@Vasilik6 Unless Manly can exploit a loop hole in the contract. Someone has to pay him the money, and the responsibility is on Manly at the start. They need to hot potato as much of it as they can.

Yer agree to melbourne would either help em or? Still young heaps of talent.

[@hansneggs]

The problem with these kind of players is that they’re improvised big -bodied (185cm 105kg) playmakers . That’s his belief cuz it’s what he’s always done . this doesn’t work in the top grade. His big body in the younger years didn’t allow him to master game organisation (can’t be a 7 or 6) . He’s relied on his big body and natural talent flare to score points . Simply put , he hasn’t fully developed his set of skills that would make him a reliable starter in 1st grade . It’s a tricky one but I would use his big body as lock-type-bench player . I’d try to reprogram him and tell him to always always always take on the line . As the game wears on and he’s subbed in , his talent will shine . But he’s a bench lock type kind of player.

[@GroperJoeandFriends]

Yeap, Walsh, Hass, and Cobbo are definitely paid too much at the Broncos. We should have dropped their pays a bit to keep Flegler and Farnsworth 😊.
