Schuster’s Second Chance with Wests Tigers

West Tigers coach Benji Marshall is giving Josh Schuster a second chance, handing him an NSW Cup contract to rebuild his career—one day a week training with the team. Once seen as a star, Schuster’s contract with Manly was cut short, and he spent time away for mental health before briefly playing reserve grade for the Rabbitohs. Now down to 97kg, Schuster’s physical turnaround is promising, but his NRL future hinges on his performance in the lower grade. Marshall sees it as a low-risk move—if Schuster can prove himself, it’s a win for everyone. Meanwhile, Adam Doueihi returns this weekend, while Alex Twal sits out. It’s Schuster’s moment to prove he’s still got what it takes—and the ball is in his court. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
