Highly talented Manly youngster Josh Schuster copped a pay cut and settled for less money than he had been offered by rival clubs, the Sea Eagles have revealed. In a Manly press release confirming that Schuster had signed a three-year extension, ensuring he would remain on the northern beaches until the end of 2027, Schuster and Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold spoke of the financial decision reflecting his dedication to the club. Schuster, 22, was already contracted to Manly until the end of 2024 on a deal worth $800,000 per year. "Josh has shown his commitment to playing his best football in a Sea Eagles jersey by signing long term for our club on less financial terms than he could have got elsewhere and for less than his current contract," Seibold said. "I think this shows his commitment to his teammates and club. "His best football is in front of him and we look forward to developing Josh into a consistent, high-performing NRL player." "There is a good opportunity for me to keep learning off great role models like Daly Cherry-Evans, and Jake and Tom Trbojevic." Schuster re-signed with Manly despite the club's attainment of Wests Tigers playmaker Luke Brooks, who this week inked a four-year deal from 2024.
