In a surprising move, the Manly Sea Eagles have decided to part ways with Josh Schuster, a once-promising star who has been struggling to find his form.
This decision comes just months after the club extended his contract, showing their faith in his ability to shine on the field.
Schuster, a back-rower, has been toiling away in reserve grade, earning a hefty $800,000 per season.
Despite signing a three-year extension only last season, he has failed to live up to expectations, leading the club to reevaluate their investment in the young player.
The Sea Eagles' decision to release Schuster immediately is a bold move, signaling their willingness to make tough calls in order to improve their performance on the field.
Coach Anthony Seibold confirmed that Schuster is free to seek opportunities with other clubs, paving the way for a fresh start for the 22-year-old.
In the fast-paced world of Rugby League, decisions like this are not uncommon, as clubs constantly assess their roster and make changes in pursuit of success.
Schuster's departure from Manly marks the end of a chapter for both the player and the club, with the hope that he will find success elsewhere in the league.
