But he said the club gave him a free car. They're not supposed to organise these things. It doesn't worry me but would be funny if he accidentally threw them under the bus.

True. He's pretty dumb so probably has no idea where it came from. Agree, would be very funny if he inadvertently got them into trouble!
 
Yes to offering Schuster a train & trial deal. We need a point of difference in the forwards and if this guys get back to his best, this is exactly the type of player we need.

An edge who can ball play is something we haven't had since Graham. Our 2nd rowers are all too similar, need something different in there.

Interestingly, during his interview with James Graham the other day, he specifically said that he sees himself as a 5/8 and doesn't understand why people see him as a lock / back rower.

They were his words.

He's lost a lot of weight apparently, I could definitely see him playing in the halves.

It's fine

If Wayne can’t fix him no one can. It’d be a waste of money and take a spot away from a guy who’s actually willing to do the work and wants it enough.

Or in the case of Melbourne Storm:

An unlimited amount of boats may be provided to players in the Top 30 outside of the salary cap (records to be kept in 2nd filing cabinet).

It really wouldn't be wasting much money. He obviously has talent, needs an attitude realignment.

Uncle Wayne is obviously great but it doesn't mean he has a 100% track record of turning people around.

I definitely wouldn't be offering him a proper contract but there is absolutely nothing to lose with a T&T deal, there is only upside for us.
