Josh Schuster is probably the type of player we should be avoiding, talent yes fuel on fire... Probably.

Schuster was discussed on NRL360 this week.
Gordon Tallis had watched him in reserve grade 2 weeks ago & said he was so unfit he couldn't get back the ten !! Manly have moved heaven & earth to get him fit but it seems he just cant be arsed - £400,000 a season he was on !!
Gordy doubtful any other NRL club will take him on, other than train & trial. Hardly going to be motivated having picked up a big severance package.

Schuster won't happen, not the right signing for us the way he is right now.

I'd try and bring in 4 players a Centre, halfback, backrow and a loose forward for this season.

Can rule out Iro as he’s finally getting a crack at first grade, also think Kini will fancy his chances of getting game time at the Titans, he’s a lot younger than most that come over too. But like you say, them names have been plucked out of thin air.

Probably end up with Blake Austin on a short term deal

Yep, Iro will be playing left centre for Cronulla (on sky) this morning when they play at Souths.

Josh Ralph did well for Wales in the world cup and had a pretty good season for Toulouse last year, wouldn't be a bad option

Seasons a right off so don’t bother bringing anyone in unless they’re going to be here for the next season or 2.

If we can pounce on someone like Allick I would but I’d also like to see us be patient and let players like Balmforth, Charles, Jebson get 10-15 games in them. It’s tough as we want to be putting them in a solid environment but now’s a chance for them to actually lay down a shot at a top 17 shirt next year.
