Immortal Andrew Johns has nominated the Gold Coast Titans as the club most in need of a player like Josh Schuster after the struggling $800,000-a-season playmaker was told by Manly he had permission to talk to other clubs, but former NSW coach Brad Fittler says there's likely to be a huge obstacle to any deal getting done. Speaking on Wide World of Sports' Freddy and the Eighth on the same day the news broke that Schuster had been given his marching orders, Fittler doubted that any club would be willing to stump up the cash to take the 22-year-old off the Sea Eagles' hands. Manly coach Anthony Seibold on Wednesday confirmed that Schuster had been given permission to leave at the end of the season, potentially cutting short a lucrative contract signed last year that ties him to the northern beaches until 2027. "I'm not sure what's the situation from the point-of-view of legalities of just cancelling someone's contract but Josh is on a lot of money. Josh ain't going anywhere," Fittler said. "No one's giving Josh the kind of money he's on at Manly. He has the potential to be a really good player, he just hasn't shown it enough."
