Wayne Bennett, the master supercoach, has taken a chance on former Manly half Josh Schuster, breathing new life into his career after the Sea Eagles gave him the boot and sent him packing with a cool $1 million payout.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs wasted no time in snatching up the young talent for the 2025 season, hoping to mold him into a star of the NRL.

After a disastrous season for the Rabbitohs, finishing in 16th place, Bennett stormed back into the club like a force of nature, determined to turn things around.

With Schuster now in the mix, the Rabbitohs are looking to rebuild and rise from the ashes like a phoenix, ready to take on the competition once more.

Despite it being just a one-year deal, Schuster has the potential to shine bright like a diamond on the field, if given the right guidance and support.

The Sea Eagles may have let him go, but the Rabbitohs see something special in him, willing to bet on his talent and determination.

With Bennett at the helm, Schuster has a chance to prove his critics wrong and show the league what he's made of.

It's a fresh start for the young player, a new chapter in his rugby league journey, with the Rabbitohs believing he can add a new dimension to their game plan.

As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Schuster and the Rabbitohs, eager to see if this partnership will be a match made in rugby league heaven.

Only time will tell if this gamble will pay off, but one thing's for sure - Bennett doesn't take chances lightly, and Schuster's future is in good hands with the master coach at the helm.
